Hard to compare straight up due to different games, but Elise can be just as bad game-wise for her impact.
Hit by a cocoon? RIP. Run into her in the jungle? RIP. Is this now 25 min in and it's someone other than your support? Free Dragon/Baron/Inhib/Game/combination of the aforementioned. If you're jungling against one you're basically at her mercy. I'm counting down the days until Rito nerfs her back to where she belongs (back to garbage-tier).

Got a hunch a good number probably have a PM with John. I know mine's got quite a handful of material over this year roughly.
If I knew just how much, I'd probably start feeling bad for him, actually.Meh, the design I've gotten over after her release. Her actual skillset, though...
I play both (DotA goes way back to the original WC3 mod, LoL I got into after watching S2 Worlds).
As to racecar, well I suppose this is personal preference, but my #1 hated hero would actually be 17%. Because for some reason it really is "17% to miss" whenever an opponent plays him.

@John Masaki
On a non-thread derailing note, what would happen if I start poking and messaging the PCs over the internet? I mean, some of the members can respond nearly instantly to any response, if they wished to (the various AI and digital-based beings. )
So, if they saw my message and thought that something about it was interesting, then how would they react?
EDIT: I meant as in since they're still behind by several days, and stuff could happen in between, that their responses might change based on the events.

Though honestly, my fondest memories of League come from running Sion as a Top Lane Attack Damage focus. If no one else goes top, then.... hehehehe.
Well, let me just say once I took down an enemy team's Nexus while they were all firing all they had at me from 1/4th of its health all the way down alone.
I meant as in your own team. With how much people demand their team to play "meta" champs, picking something as unorthodox to the meta as top Nami is not something I want to witness in terms of a typical teammate's reaction...
Oh. Well, that's definitely a good reason to hate him, now I recall my pubs. (Oh god please.)I meant as in your own team.

Well, I never got very high ranked before I got bored with the game... that, and I usually make my results speak for themselves. Nami may not pack a punch, but she can wittle someone down without them doing much of anything if you play her right.

I'm not even talking about the higher-level ranked, this is just as bad a problem in normals.
As to results, it sounds like you mostly get somewhat patient people. Turns out that's a luxury in all ranks (a good reason I stopped playing ranked myself, in fact), alas.

Some of you may be wondering what the Chosen Children look like. Well, here they are in order of appearance:
<-- Ness, the Courage of Fire
(He's just a kid with a red cap and a bat.)
@Einsig Will one day gain the title of the Ruler of Sincerity
(I know Myogi isn't exactly a child, but a Chosen Child isn't necessarily age-related.)
Kamil al-Asaad (Not like the other Assad!), the Tenacious Desert Wind
(there was a RL Syrian kid that I used in the beginning, but then I figured this was a better one thematically. And yes, I know, Setsuna's Kurdish. SHADDAP! [ ] )
Alexei Romanov - The White Wolf of Friendship
(Normal)
(Bloodwolf Manifestation)
(You can find the RL dead kid anywhere. It's so hard finding a suitable anime version! In other news, Winter is Coming!)
Avatar Shaozu Wu, Master of the Elements and the Bringer of Hope
(Water. Earth. Air. Fire. Body. Mind. Spirit. Tao. Only the Avatar can master all eight elements and bring balance to the world. *drums*.)
Takuya Minamoto, The Kindness of Magic!
(Many worms were slain to give us this picture.)
Taichi & Chiyo Minamoto, the Bratty Half-Pint and Tagalong Kid (plus a nameless friend)
(I'm sure they'll be of little importance beyond being cute.)
Shiromaru Miyamoto - The Sword of Honorable Courage
(Was difficult to not just simply use Kirito!)
Talia Moshe, the Reliable Priestess of Earth
(If she eats all our potatoes, I'm going to get cranky!)
Carmen Sandiego - The Thief of Sincerity
(Future picture. She's like twelve now.)
Hadji Singh - The Avatar of Krishna, the Lovable Friend To All Things
(Ladies love him! Guys...not so much. But whatever the case, he's India's Casanova!)
??? the Shaman Queen of Love
(We'll meet her soon.)
??? The Union of Destiny
(We'll meet him soon too.)
??? The Healer of Light
PK FLASH!
(Told you so! We'll also meet this person soon.)
??? The Champion of Darkness
(You were expecting a picture? Sorry. But here's a nice cup of kindness from the bottom of my heart. Expect this person to be revealed soon enough.)
Sam and Dean Murphy - The Twin Believers of Miracles
(Ten years old and already making waves!)
You'll note that there are some folks with the same title or multiple titles. This isn't a bug, but a feature of my plot. If certain circumstances happen, it is possible for the rest of you will gain similar titles. If you do manage to guess how or just the general plot of where all this is going, use spoilers, but I will not confirm or deny anything until it's written in the ICs. Also do note that this is subject to change as we go along.
Well, to be fair, your mileage may vary. One game you'll have people who have no comment, another you'll have everyone screaming off the top of their caps lock that they'll report the hell out of you.
In the "serious" levels of ranked (NA), the latter is much more likely in my own experience.
