Da Bear Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Link is behind by 1200ish votes with around a half hour left. Gamblers, fanboys and some Trent guy on twitter with 170k followers are involved. Possible DDoS by LoL fans. If you need a reminder of how worked up people will get over the silliest things head to GFAQs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Mir Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 No one would vote for Teemo anyways. Well, considering that he got doubled by Palutena, whereas Hades nearly was doubled by Simon Belmont and Pit lost to Cecil (who proceeded to lose to Wrex in a match where most people had either of the former two winning)...

Cain Magnus Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 And this is why I just ignore the character battle when I go there. People get too childish over it in my opinion. XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airship Canon Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 The issue was the DDoS, and the fact that during previous contests, 15 minute downtime was enough to redo the match. This case shouldn't be an exception. Link/Shep/Draven should've been re-ran, simple as that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a freaking DDoS when he starts losing, that's what. Not the admin throwing out the precedent of restarting matches when the servers go down.

Not the admin throwing out the precedent of restarting matches when the servers go down. a ddos attack would stop people for voting for not just link, but also draven and shepard. granted the gap was closing, but draven was like 5k votes ahead at one point when i looked. and really it's just a shitty annual character battle, there's no need for people to get all up on each other's shit just because link's been dethroned. p.s. i voted for link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you know anything about how Link rolls- that point was -exactly- the point in time where Link is strongest: when the US day vote and/or the US after school vote kick in, Link goes ballistic. Well, when the DDoS happened? Right at the start of the Day Vote. Before that happened, Link was actually on track to not only recover, but pass Draven and come out on top with a 4-5K lead. Given, Draven regained some steam, but going by the numbers after that point, Link would've came out with about 300+ on Draven had the DDoS not occurred. Any outcome given though, the match should've been restarted. Matches previously have been restarted for 15 minute hiccups. This was a 93 minute DDoS.

Da Bear Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 Marisa lost. ;~; Since when do you have an account here. (I know looking would be easy but I'm lazy) granted the gap was closing, but draven was like 5k votes ahead at one point when i looked. Ended at below 800 votes.
