How did Lot become the Third most popular Binding Blade character?

[Great Dane]

I'm a fan of the FE6 axe-fighter Lot, I find him one of the most interesting characters in the game and a personal favorite, but I do not deny that he has issues such as being a problematic (if still usable) unit and is overshadowed by several other interesting or more important characters. With this all out of the way, I wonder why he soared all the way to #88 in the series-wide "Choose Your Legends" poll, where he beat the likes of other popular characters such as Lewyn, Lyon, or Rutger. I'm even more curious as to why, as I saw no huge amounts of Lot praise in the fandom at the time. Why do you think this is?

You know, Japanese people are random. The same can be said about Dorcas getting in the top 20 characters for Fire Emblem Heroes (but I'm assuming that's because the "WHAT HAPPENED TO DORKASS?" meme)

I'm not sure how much influence they had considering where FE6 was released, but it could possibly be because of other countries' votes.

People are satisfied with their Lot in life, nowadays, I suppose.
