Worst contest ever. I haven't said or thought anything along those lines beforenow, but this proves that Draven can never be beaten. Screw this contest, screw /r/leagueoflegends, screw the subreddit mods, screw the trolls and screw you.

I will say this, though: Don't screw Bacon. He's not happy about this either.


You clearly haven't read Bacon's essay on the contest. Basically it boils down to him wanting page views, and this will be one of the most popular polls of all time.

Don't kid yourself, Bacon is as happy as a pig in ****. He has the power to stop this through banning votes redirected from reddit, or allowing only registered users to vote.

I did read the essay and it restored my faith in him. You can't construe it like that without basically calling him a liar. Allowing only registered users would get us depressing vote totals, and I believe blocking reddit-rallied votes would be easy to work around.

A lead he built in 50 minutes

well then this Draven should get a new name, something beyond Ultimate Draven if he keeps this up for a while


..I remember I asked if there is something "stronger" than ultimate

No one bothered to answer it,because no one believed it might be possible


Ultimate Mary Sue. And pretend he's an OC.

Just giving it a very rough eyeball... it looks like these rallied votes are going about 85/15 in favor of Draven over Snake. Link is very likely the most popular VG character across the internet, so it's right to assume he would have done significantly better than 85/15, but 60/40 does seem really unrealistic given what we're seeing here.

I just wanted Snake to have the lead, man. That would have been awesome. I knew the world championships were going to cause this domination to happen eventually, that any lead Snake had would be fleeting. But Snake coming back here would have been incredible if he could have held it for a second.

But no. Draven literally doesn't allow us anything at all, not even the remotest slice of enjoyment, no concession on any level. His presence is solely bad for the contest, with no upside.


Except, the purpose of a popularity contest is judging... popularity. Making the upside here that the competition was a complete success! The most popular character will win.


>thinking draven is popular outside the lol fandom

Never suggested he was popular outside of lol fandom, but being popular only in lol fandom still makes him a more popular character universally, you just have to deal with that fact. They're the numbers.

Us "caring too much" is absolutely fine, though. It's the sole unifying factor of our community. It's like saying they shouldn't care about LoL. The board is literally dedicated to GameFAQs contests, they are a hobby for b8's users in the same way LoL is a hobby for them. And like I said last night, the problem is not ours, but their's - we understand their hobby, even if some of us dislike it. They don't understand ours. But that's their issue. Their lack of understanding is their problem.

At this point, I would like to see Riot officially rallying about it, WC casters mention it and rallies in twitch chat. I mean it's already Ultimate Draven but let's see how much stronger he can get.


This is probably the best possible outcome at this point btw

I'm submitting a feedback ticket to Bacon asking him to not do the Link/Draven bonus match and replace it with...well, anything else. I suggest others send their own message.

Don't do the Link/Draven bonus match.

"There has been so much drama already that it just doesn't seem worth it. And with an official Draven rally thread now having been created and pinned by a moderator on the LoL subreddit, there doesn't seem to be real hope of the match going differently, regardless of who would have won back during the first Link/Draven match without the site downtime or whether Link could have beaten Draven 1-on-1 then.

I thought the match might a good idea at first too, but with a Draven match again producing ridiculous drama, bad feelings, reddit trolls, and no hope of non-Draven victory it absolutely does not seem worth it. I think most people would rather never see Draven in a poll again and would happily concede he could beat anybody if it returns the board to some semblance of normalcy.

Almost any poll would be better than one involving Draven again."

What makes you think they sticky for the Link match?

I highly doubt that happens. In which case Link wins going away.
