@BMH I don't know what you entail by opinion-based votes in this context. Viewers/fans/mobs can vote for whichever character they want to in my format, which can be for whatever reason. For hosts, it's different.

Say for example I'm hosting a tournament where Kratos, a character I love but the wiki doesn't, fights sceptile, a character I'm ok with (I don't dislike any characters) but the wiki absolutely glorifies. Kratos gets 10 votes to Sceptile's 14. As host, I can't just lie and say "oh, Kratos got 15 votes so he wins". I have to respect the decision of the voters and write Krayos losing, even if it was, in the words of Nick Fury, "a stupid-ass decision".
