Why is the Draven rally so piss poor this time around?


Posting the rally 9 hours before the match starts was one bad decision by ralliers. It means the topic will die down earlier than normal, forcing them to get desperate to keep Draven alive.

By the way, if Snake wins here, we need to change the bonus match to Snake vs. Link.

Absolutely. That match should be crazy.

r/LoL trying to tweet at World Championship casters. Don't worry guys, they don't care about this match at all, it's just trolling lel.

that being said, get the guys at The Fall Classic to rally Snake, on top of Sony twitters

I say we change the bonus match to Link vs. Cloud just for the lulz

I mean we haven't NOT had a Link vs. Cloud match since 2002!

I'm wondering if it wasn't one of ours that did it... look at the title of the topic having all three names in it.

Honestly, it needs to be Link vs. Snake anyway.

The less Draven the better.

/r/leagueoflegends shot its wad way too early. Reddit's setup isn't too kind to 10+ hour old stuff. In particular, they can go ahead and forget about receiving any support from /r/all.

r/all would've been much more helpful for us.

But are you saying that if the mods don't allow any duplicate topics, there's a chance the one rally will fade into obscurity?

I think so. If you want to help the mods find the extra topics, you can probably flag them for moderation as well.

If Draven spikes anytime soon, it's a new thread or a caster retweeting the poll link. Snake and draven's votes seem to be collapsing at the same rate.

That's the rules, though the mods need to enforce it.

That is a very distinct possibility, yes.

I'm not sure if I believe that /r/all theory, though. IIRC, Draven's R2 rally ranked much higher on /r/all than his other ones did, and that was the match he dominated most heavily.

By the way, it's amazing how marginalized Samus is right now. She should've risen quite a bit from the early vote, but the opposite is happening.
