Final results are in! We got just over 400 votes. Thank you to everyone who voted!

Time Wasters secured a massive lead: over 100 votes compared to the runner-up's 57. A quarter of voters disliked time wasters. And at that 57, Bulk was our 2nd most unpopular at about 14%.

From there we have a band of 40s containing Alpha-Strikers, Aces, and Top-Meta, each affecting the lives of about 11% of voters. Everything else got half that or less, entering the single-digit percents.

I don't know if I can draw this conclusion from the data, but just between you and me, I don't think Time Wasters are well-liked. I know, that's controversial, but I just wanna put it out there. I think maybe Time Wasters kinda suck.

On to the new poll!
