    Get rid of Twitter voting all together

    The problem is that Twitter voting is a good (and cheap!) way to advertise both the game and the summoners choice event, and promote engagement. And without new players the game can't last.

    Seems like Viper is the only one that had lots of bot votes while Shriek is being mass voted by carnage fans

    I do want to add though, I think the whole wildcard thing is stupid in general and I wish they stopped doing it cause 75% of the people retweeting don't even play the game. All it takes is one millenial with an account with 1k followers on Twitter and they can win the whole wildcard thing, "MuTuALs PlEaSe Rt" and all of a sudden Shriek is winning, totally fair lol

    I wouldn't complain about that

    So there's conspiracy going in against Madame Hydra? Just because she's winning now? Ridiculous.

    you dont just randomly get 100 votes over night when noone else did

    Spamming is common on twitter for such polls. Only the top one with re tweets gets auto qualify, others are with in game votes. And final is purely in game vote so it won't hurt much.

    Normally I wouldn't either cause Shriek was my second or third option anyways but I don't think it's fair that the one with the most retweets goes straight to the final instantly that's just dumb. Main reason being the poll on Twitter isn't a character popularity thing, it's more like a who has more followers who can spam retweet thing.

    This is why the wild card vote should be on the forum.

    It makes sense to us but leaves out the larger community, so it will never happen. They want the wider MCOC community to be able to participate in the wildcard vote and not just the most passionate players on the forums. Realistically more players will see the tweet than a post on the forum. But that does open everything up to the problem we are having right now

    I don't think there should be any wildcards at all honestly, unless it's only a free pass to the next round but it shouldn't be a free pass to the finals even if it's on the forums and especially not on Twitter because of how easily the whole thing can be manipulated either with bots or just a few people with a decent amount of followers.
    It never boils down to character popularity which is the whole point of the summoner's choice, you can literally have 200 people retweeting Blob because they love the character and that still won't be enough to beat ten people with 1k followers each who asked their followers to retweet Shriek even though they have no idea who Shriek is or what mcoc is. Just stupid in general, I really wish they stopped doing it.

    I don't know how you know who Carnage is and don't know who Shriek is... Shriek#1
  • Shiv23Shiv23 Member Posts: 21 ★
    Also need to point out, your title of this post is WRONG and you should delete it our change it immediately.. Viper is the one who got the bot votes NOT Shriek.... pretty sure Slayer of Gods is voting and rooting for Shriek, which is why he posted this in the first place. Either way, it is not both Viper and Shriek, it was just Viper... get the info right please.... this is how you spread lies and rumors and false information... because you don't pay attention when you read.

    No, there were literally 100 Retweets all at once from incredibly obvious bot accounts.

    There's no "conspiracy" lmao.

    Maybe you're being sarcastic, though.

    Yes, Viper was the one who got botted votes, not Shriek. Not sure how anyone could jump to the conclusion from my Tweet that Shriek got botted votes lol. I thought it made it extremely clear. Thank you for helping explain this.

    I'm rooting for multiple characters: Shriek, Beetle and Shathra. I would've posted that Tweet no matter who was being botted. Fair is fair. Wanted to add that as well.

    None of this matters though, because Kabam Miike already replied to my post, saying they will verify to make sure no bots are counted.

    ...why? The way you vote on Twitter is by Retweeting. Not Liking.
