So glad my Epona upset never had a chance to happen, Snake is our one true savior.

/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?


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.


The more active the League of Legends subreddit, the more likely the topic is to rank highly on r/all, I think.

Didn't a B8er make that rally topic?

If so, that's...poetic.


Possibly the person that made it created the account 9 days ago.

Morning guys!!

Huh,what is going on...? Where is the Draven above 50% thing we are used to?
#408 | Wanglicious | Posted 9/14/2013 10:02:53 PM | message detail
Snake has a natural appeal to all gamers, so it's pretty different than Ryu or X. Samus is also widely popular.

but that cut was ridiculous. i would laugh so hard if the rally split ended up being 40/45/15, Draven/Snake/Samus. with cuts like that, who knows!

So if the person who made that topic doesn't delete that one, does that mean every other rally topic that gets made will be deleted because that one already exists?

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

Hmmm...We're slightly ahead of Link/Shep/Draven's pace right now.

Don't expect that to hold though unless we get rallies out the wazoo here, too.

If you want to help their mods with cleaning up extra topics, remember that marking is a two step process. After you flag it you need to look at the sidebar on the right, go to moderators, click message the moderators and post the link of the thread in the title and why it should be deleted.

With vote totals naturally dropping Draven will likely increase until morning, hopefully he doesn't let the match get too far away.

well, there should be SOMEBODY you want to vote for in this. and it's the finals with a giant yellow banner. we should have better votes here. in theory.

but Snake is gonna need some Link style morning updates to do this.

Yeah, they never make much sense, even when you know it's happening. It's so random. Like at any given time he'll just go up 3000 votes or completely lose the lead.

The natural decline in vote totals as we go deeper into the night vote will hurt Snake and Samus much more than Draven, which is why Draven does his best work at night.
