  • The player was such a remarkable "mid/low tier hero", that they single-handily reversed a lower tier character's perception of viability, or otherwise has achieved remarkable feats with those characters that players of other similarly tiered characters could never replicate.

  • A residing administrator will review the proposal, and if they believe there is any slight chance it could pass, they'll formally conduct the vote. However, they can veto conducting any vote at all if they believe it failing is a forgone conclusion.
  • The formal voting will take place in the #voting channel on the aforementioned Discord server, to ensure the vote does not get disrupted by people from outside the wiki or by users with insufficient competitive knowledge.
  • In order for a proposal to pass, there must be at least a 2/3rds supermajority in support and at least five support votes.
  • If a player fails a vote, they may not be proposed again until at least one year has passed since.
