fate fandom poll results! (higher res, since tumblr has crunched it)

these are the big patterns i noticed. if you want some more commentary on the numbers, come and join me in the read more:

I first want to reiterate that I did this as a way to see if I was in a bubble. By the end of the poll, it received 93 results. A lot of these responses did come from tumblr and twitter (thank you friend for posting onto your twitter), and so, the demographic that is being polled is biased. Please keep this in mind.

Overall Age/Satisfaction:

Overall, more neutral or people upset with the fandom.

Older fandom - these numbers also do align with the perception that fate fandom grew in size with the pandemic

Shoutout to the 1 person who said they were in the fandom for over 15 years. I'm saluting you

Shouldn't have been surprised there were zero 20+ years responses, but hey, yk, if you don't put it there.

Gender:

I also did this because I wanted to know how gender of characters played into whether a character had 'nice' or 'rude' fans.

Note: I put any characters that have gender ambiguous or gender: unknown in the non-binary section. So this does mean that characters like Astolfo, Caeneus and D'Eon are in this section. While the general fandom may not see some of these as non-binary, it's easier than doing a big asterisk. I'd love to run another poll examining the way trans and non-binary characters are viewed by the fandom, but that's for another time.

Thus, my method was: I read the response, and for each character listed, I sorted them into one of the 3 gender options and tallied it as a point. So, for example, if someone said Avicebron, Medea and QSH, then that would be one point for male, one for female, and one for non-binary. Groups, unless they are specifically one gender, were not counted, however I did keep them in mind (see: later on).

If someone specified popularity, I tallied that as well. For the 'nice' fans, there were only nice comments about 'low rarity/less popular' characters, with the opposite being true for rude fans and popular ones. Hence their bars.

I also included the 'none' section, as there was a non-zero amount of people answering with none, for both.

Male characters' fans are perceived to be kinder 1.8 times more than fans of female characters

On the other hand, female characters' fans are perceived to be meaner 1.7 times more than male characters

Specifically, some stated that they do not trust 'male fans' of some characters

Some gender non-confirming and/or non-binary servants (like Astolfo, Mordred) also have a similar rule, aka "do not trust male fans"

Younger characters like Taisui and Voyager often have 'nice' fans, while younger female characters have 'rude' fans

In the future, it would be interesting to take data on gender to see the main demographics answering these

As I am trying to remain as unbiased with this data presentation as possible, I will just leave the data here. Again, if I redid this poll I'd ask for gender metrics, and maybe try and spread it to reddit spaces for less polling bias.

The Good, The Bad and the Ugly

When looking at specific characters, I sorted through the responses and counted how often certain characters appeared while accounting for repetition. Simple as that.

Top 10 Characters Associated with 'Nice' Fans:

Arjuna (16)

Dantes (10)

Gilgamesh (10)

Voyager (9)

Diarmuid (6)

Cu Chulainn (5)

Enkidu (5)

Ashiya Douman (5)

Oberon (5)

Mandricardo (5)

Couple extra things to note:

groups mentioned often: GUDAGUDA, KOTRT, Hindu Servants

Kintoki mentioned rather often, too

People highlighted that they like seeing people talking about characters that are less known/less popular.

Avicebron did appear on the top 10, however I have excluded him from the list as it is likely due to polling bias. Thanks, though.

Besides Enkidu and Ashiya Douman, the top 10 list is dominated by male characters.

Top 10 Characters Associated with 'Rude' Fans:

Morgan (20)

Artoria (15)

Cu Chulainn (13)

Melusine (12)

Rin (12)

Astolfo (11)

Jalter (11)

Gilgamesh (11)

Arjuna (10)

Castoria (9)

Couple extra things to note:

As mentioned before, some replies were 'Saberface fans', 'Prillya fans' or 'male fans of x'

People highlighted disliking fans of 'popular characters', some specifically stating their dislike stemming from fans pushing a 'need to roll' mentality upon the fandom.

Male Ritsuka appears more frequently as 'rude' versus female Ritsuka.

'Rude' fans are often associated with being fans of non-FGO properties (namely: Prillya and F/SN).

People who show up on both top 10s: Arjuna, Cu, Gilgamesh.

There are also some less popular characters who were highlighted more often as being 'rude'. However, considering the fact that these characters likely do not have that many fans, I have not included them in the data. That being said, if you wish to DM me about them I'll share. I just do not want to drag anyone, you know.

What's Next?

Maybe in a year, I'd like to re-do this poll. Namely to see if the overall satisfaction changes. But, there's there's a few things I'd like to add to the questions next time:

Gender and Maybe Sexuality Preferences

As mentioned above, I think actually taking data on the gender of the participants would be helpful. Further, sexuality would help understand the data. I do not think it's a big leap to suggest that this poll is low on responses from male fans, specifically straight men. But I would like to have the actual data, and not just a hypothesis.

"Which character's haters do you find rude?" question

As my friend pointed out, as well as some of the responses - some of the haters of a character are ruder than their actual fans. I think this would be interesting, too.

Branching the poll out so it catches more attention from the other side of the TM fandom.

While I would like to keep this predominantly to the tumblr and twitter side of the fandom, it's clear that the results tend to veer on the side that is more FGO-focused. I'd like to get some more data from those who don't play FGO or focus their time on non-FGO property.

Post it to other places.

This was a fun trial run! Maybe I could run a separate poll next year, so there's two: one shared only to tumblr, and one to twitter/reddit. I am, at the end of the day, someone who loves data and would love to compare and contrast fandom perception.

Have an option to share characters who's mind you've been changed on.

Sometimes, it really just takes one person to change your mind on a character. I'd like to highlight that.

I believe? That's everything? I tried my best to be as unbiased as possible in presenting the facts. In a reblog of this post, I'll share my further (biased) thoughts at a later time.

I'm curious to see what you guys think! Did this make sense for you? Are you maybe surprised? Ultimately, thank you for responding to my silly lil poll, and I hope that these numbers don't make anyone upset.

Adet

✢⁎. universal collapse

You have turned your back on justice and joined the Dragon and his coterie of imposters… or so he thinks. A threatening “offer you can’t refuse” becomes the opportunity of a lifetime when he bribes you for information and cooperation, opening up a chance for you to feed false information and get some insight into how the group operates. That said, the enigmatic “Al” is said to be an intelligent and calculating man in his own right. Be warned, this may be one of his traps… [Grants Any Weapon +1]

“...And that’s when the great hero emerged, his flaming aura full of ice and fury! With one mighty swipe of his blade--SWOOSH!--the Fell Dragon was, er, felled... And the gleaming crown of unending glory forever stood atop his divine head!”

A pair of mobsters blink. This is evidently a little more than they bargained for.

When they had heard, through heaven’s hell-sent gift, that a pair of faculty members at Garreg Mach intended to defect to their side, they were overjoyed. The prospect of new allies--new fakes--to expand their reach over the continent through its most prominent figurehead was one too good to be true. And that’s because it isn’t. Owain, under his professorial name Oberon Dark, has come to the agreed meeting point (a spot just beyond Arianrhod’s great wall) with one simple task: muddle their minds. His tongue peddles deception like no other, spinning its fancied fables with the kind of flair that only a fool would believe.

But, he was assured, this is indeed a foolish ring--if they believe they can truly slip under the church’s watchful eye.

With only the moon, two accomplices, and winged Elincia as his witness, he finishes his tale with a grand gesture of his arms. The men... do not look impressed by it. In fact, between scrunched brows and squinted eyes, one clears his throat to challenge the Dark’s ruse. “That’s all well and good,” he heaves, and evidently he does not believe a word of it, “But uh, who were we talkin’ about again? Some Ylissean noble...?”

“I- hey!” shouts Owain, offense coloring the wide-gaping frown on his face, “Weren’t you listening? These are the adventurous exploits of the exalted Owain, Falchion’s next of kin and cousin of Lucina Lowell! Have you... Really not heard of him? There was a book written about him and everything...”

One gloved hand finds the back of his ruffled hair to sheepishly scratch. Geez, what’s the deal with these guys? The professor was sure they’d at least remember the name. But each of their pensive stares speaks loud and clear: they don’t.

Figuring there’s not much use bashing his head on this rock, he coughs into his other hand and motions at Elincia. She would be key to getting his point across--to heralding him as the scion of legend he truly is!

“Well, it just so happens my esteemed colleague is his number one fan!” he stops to swallow a lump in his throat, batting his eyes in a way that tells the Crimean to simply roll with it, “Y-yes, she’s um, president of his fan club! Go on, o feathered one, tell these two of all the heroic feats I-er, Mister Owain, has dedicated his life to!”

HOLLYWOOD BOND CAVALCADE

September 4, 1943

On September 4, 1943, the Hollywood Bond Cavalcade departed to raise money for America’s Third War Loan. It began in Washington DC and went through 16 American cities before ending in San Francisco 21 days later. Millions of Americans flocked to these events buying war bonds as their tickets, with seat prices ranging from $18.75 to $1 million. After crossing 10,091 miles, the campaign raised a total of $40,110,000 and pushed America’s War Loan over the $2 billion mark.

The Hollywood Victory Committee was an organization founded on December 10, 1941 during World War II to provide a means for stage, screen, television and radio performers that were not in military service to contribute to the war effort through bond drives and improving morale for troops. It was associated with the Screen Actors Guild. The Committee organized events between January 1942 until August 1945. Its first chairman was Clark Gable.

This was not the first such event. In 1942, Desi Arnaz participated in the Hollywood Victory Caravan. He was joined by stars Joan Bennett, Joan Blondell, Charles Boyer, James Cagney, Claudette Colbert, Jerry Colonna, Bing Crosby, Olivia de Havilland, Cary Grant, Charlotte Greenwood, Bob Hope, Frances Langford, Laurel and Hardy, Bert Lahr, Groucho Marx, Frank McHugh, Ray Middleton, Merle Oberon, Pat O'Brien, Eleanor Powell, and Risë Stevens. The Caravan show played in 12 cities and netted over $700,000 for Army and Navy relief funds. [Note that in the above Minneapolis welcome sign, Desi’s surname is mis-spelled!]

Along with Lucille Ball, some of the celebrities involved included:

James Cagney ~ had just opened his film Johnny Come Lately on September 3, 1943.

Judy Garland ~ won a 1940 special Oscar for her contributions to film. In September 1943, she released Thousands Cheer (co-starring Lucille Ball) and two months later, Girl Crazy with Mickey Rooney.

Mickey Rooney ~ was also in Thousands Cheer with Garland and Ball, as well as premiering Girl Crazy with Judy Garland in November 1943. Rooney won Oscars in 1939 and 1940. In 1966 he played himself on an episode of “The Lucy Show.”

Kay Kyser ~ was a bandleader who made his film debut with Lucille Ball in That’s Right - You’re Wrong. He made four films in 1943, including Thousands Cheer.

Paul Henreid ~ was most known for playing Victor Laszlo in Casablanca (1942). His name was mentioned on “I Love Lucy” in “The Adagio” (ILL S1;E12) when Ricky lights two cigarettes at once, just a Paul Henreid did for Bette Davis in 1942′s Now Voyager.

Greer Garson ~ won Oscars in 1940, 1942, and 1943, for Mrs. Miniver, her most recent success at the time. She had a film in release called The Youngest Profession and was about to debut another hit, Madame Curie.

Betty Hutton ~ was an actress and singer who was seen that summer of ‘43 in Let’s Face It, starring Bob Hope.

Kathryn Grayson ~ was yet another Cavalcade member starring in Thousands Cheer.

Harpo Marx ~ is best known for the act he developed with his brothers that was a hit on Broadway and screen. He was a silent clown in an over-sized raincoat and fright wig. Lucy and Harpo had appeared together in Room Service in 1938. In 1955, he guest-starred on “I Love Lucy” (S4;E28) as himself.

Fred Astaire ~ was one of Hollywood’s most legendary dancers. In July 1943 he released The Sky’s The Limit with Joan Leslie. In 1943, he had already done three musical films with Lucille Ball, and was about to film a fourth - Ziegfeld Follies. His name was mentioned on two episodes of “I Love Lucy.”

Olivia DeHavilland ~ was a two-time Oscar nominee at the time of the Cavalcade. She memorably played Melanie Wilkes in Gone With The Wind in 1939.

Martha Scott ~ was a 1940 Oscar nominee for the screen version of Our Town. Her film Hi Diddle Diddle was in release during the summer of 1943.

Dick Powell ~ was preparing to premiere Riding High with Dorothy Lamour in November 1943. He was about to start filming Meet the People with Lucille Ball, which opened in 1944.

The stars participated upon behest of the US Treasury Department.

A special 11-car Union Pacific Railroad train carried the stars from Los Angeles, to Washington DC for the kick-off.

Union Pacific Railroad provided access to their new Domeliner for location and second unit footage on “I Love Lucy” during “The Great Train Robbery” (S5;E5).

Sept 4 - Depart Los Angeles

Sept 8 – Washington, DC

Sept 9 – Philadelphia

A Typical Cavalcade Performance (depending on celebrity availability)

Kay Kyser served as master of ceremonies and started the show with his band's theme "Thinking Of You". James Cagney came on to read a poem - "What Do We Do When We Buy A Bond" - and did two numbers and a dance from Yankee Doodle Dandy, for which he had recently won the Academy Award. Dick Powell then crooned some of his hits: "Don't Give Up The Ship," "Let's Get Lost," "In My Arms," and "Happy Go Lucky".

Harpo Marx would intermittently chase a blonde across the stage. He eventually settled down to play two harp solos, bang on the piano, wheeze on the harmonica, and finally played a pantomime poker game with Lucille Ball, who had appeared with Harpo in Room Service in 1938 and learned physical comedy at his knee. Harpo ended the game by cutting the cards with an ax!

After Fred Astaire danced, Kyser brought down the house with a burlesque imitation of his style. Mickey Rooney did imitations of Franklin Roosevelt, Eleanor Roosevelt, Herbert Hoover, Wendell Wilkie, and then played the drums.

Betty Hutton performed some hot boogie-woogie. Judy Garland sang "The Man I Love," "Embraceable You," and "Blow, Gabriel, Blow."

Greer Garson urged continued bond purchases, saying, "If we relax, if we don't back the attack, the war will go on indefinitely."

Upon arrival in Washington DC on September 8, Lucille Ball and the stars paraded through the streets in military jeeps, waving to the assembled crowds on their way to the Washington Monument. A similar parade was held in most all subsequent cities.

After departing DC, the stars embarked on a 15 city ‘barn-storming’ tour of American cities.

September 9 ~ the Cavalcade played Philadelphia's Convention Hall...

...and moved to play Boston on September 10.

September 11 ~ at Madison Square Garden in New York City. It was here that Betty Hutton announced her engagement to camera manufacturer Ted Briskin. They tied the knot in 1945 but the marriage ended in divorce in 1951.

September 12 ~ Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The newspapers promoted its arrival with this photo from their Los Angeles departure.

September 13 ~ the Cavalcade rolled through Cleveland, Ohio the stars spoke to an assembly of Defense Workers. That night, at the Civic Auditorium, Kay Kyser auctioned off an American flag for $10,000,000 and two pounds of butter and a three pound steak for $100,000 each!

September 14 ~ Detroit, Michigan

September 15 ~ Cincinnati, Ohio. Stars rode into town on chartered Cincinnati Street Railway buses kicked off at Union Station. Lucille Ball is 8th from the right, next to Harpo Marx.

September 16 in Chicago’s Soldier Field.

September 17 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

September 18 in St. Louis, Missouri at the Kiel Auditorium. Most of the stars lodged at the Hotel Jefferson, where police had to chase 300 autograph hounds out of the lobby. They also had to drag a high school girl out from beneath Fred Astaire's bed. In another incident, surging fans shattered a plate glass window, which tore Judy Garland's dress to shreds.

September 19 was left as an ‘open’ day in New Orleans, Louisiana, before their official performances on September 20 at the Tad Gormley Stadium. Variety reported the crowd at 50,000, The States stated it was between 65,000 and 75,000, while The Item claimed 100,000 showed up, despite the actual venue only seating 35,000!

September 21 in Dallas, Texas at the Cotton Bowl...

...and in San Antonio, Texas on September 22.

September 25 in San Francisco to perform...

...and on September 26 went home to Los Angeles to conclude the 10,000 mile tour. A crowd of 6,000 greeted them at the station in Glendale as the Navy Band played "California, Here I Come."

The song would memorably be sung on “I Love Lucy” to launch the Hollywood episodes in 1955.

Lucille Ball helped sell bonds throughout her career. Click here for a look at Lucy and US Savings Bonds!

Channels: 5.1 | Subwoofer: 70W | Finishes: Black, white

REASONS TO BUY

A lot of detail and punch

Minimal plan

Incredible cost

REASONS TO AVOID

Speaker terminals are a tight fit

It's not difficult to shy away from the possibility of presenting a full 5.1 encompass sound bundle into your home when you have restricted space – yet Wharfedale has recently the arrangement.

A development to the incredible DX-1HCP and DX-1SE speaker bundles, the Wharfedale DX-2 is a little, beguiling and very skilled 5.1 encompass speaker bundle that has effectively had a huge decrease on its dispatch cost.

Go up the value scale and you'll discover speaker bundles, (for example, the Q Acoustics 3010i 5.1 Cinema Pack) that are more understandable, more exact and greater sounding. In any case, they cost twofold what the Wharfedale does. The engaging presentation, the minimal yet-classy form and engaging sticker price – it's noteworthy the amount Wharfedale has packaged into the unimposing DX-2 bundle. It's an extraordinary answer for AV fans tight on financial plan and space.

4. Q Acoustics 3010i 5.1 Cinema Pack

Q Acoustics' 3010i shelf speakers structure the premise of this flawlessly adjusted speaker bundle.

SPECIFICATIONS

Channels: 5.1 | Subwoofer: 150W | Finishes: Gray, pecan, dark, white

REASONS TO BUY

Clear, melodic show

Sound low-end thunder

Can occupy a major room

REASONS TO AVOID

Subwoofer needs by and large effect

Close indistinguishable from the Q Acoustics bundle above, just with a second pair of 3010i standmounts traded in for front both ways channels, the 3010i 5.1 Cinema Pack is another multi-Award champ.

These speakers' greetings fi roots are clarified directly from the off, studying subtlety, dynamic articulation and a surefooted ability to keep in tempo. What may be seriously amazing, be that as it may, is exactly how much scale is on offer thinking about their unassuming impression.

For the people who love an artistic encounter, yet maybe come up short on the space for floorstanders, this is an excellent sub-fabulous bundle.

5. Monitor Audio Silver 200 AV12

A tremendously competent contribution in both encompass and sound system. You can buy this Home theatre system with the latest online shopping offers.

SPECIFICATIONS

Channels: 5.1 | Subwoofer: 500W | Finishes: Black, white, pecan, rosewood, oak, dark gleam

REASONS TO BUY

Clear, adjusted sound

Expressive and fun

Adaptable

REASONS TO AVOID

Nothing significant

The Silver 200s, the littlest of three sets of floorstanding speakers in this 6th era of Monitor Audio's long-running Silver series, are the feature act in this encompass bundle. Yet, regardless of the 200 showing up in the title of this bundle, the floorstanders' stage is imparted to three similarly gifted heroes – the Silver C150 focus speaker, Silver FX encompass speakers and Silver W-12 subwoofer.

Crashes, bangs and clobbers are tossed at the audience, as though actually tossed around the room with fantastic attachment as every speaker supplements the others' person. All in all, the bundle times with military accuracy, driving forward with tireless energy.

Seldom are we so completely behind a speaker system for its work both in surround sound and in encompass sound, however with these Monitor Audio Silvers you really are accomplishing both at the cost of one.

6. Elac Debut 2.0 5.1 Home Theater System

A delightfully experienced and reasonable speaker set for the cash.

SPECIFICATIONS

Channels: 5.1 | Subwoofer: 200W | Finishes: Black

REASONS TO BUY

Profoundly vivid soundstage

Satiny tonal equilibrium

Perfect, clear unique sound

REASONS TO AVOID

Nothing at this cost

This encompass bundle accomplices two sets of five-star sound system speakers – the especially capable Debut 2.0 F5.2 floorstanders and Debut 2.0 B5.2 standmounts – then, at that point tosses in a similar focus speaker and sub for what is perhaps the most created, definite and all around coordinated with system we've heard at this cost. Dolby Atmos topper speakers are additionally accessible for a considerably more vivid sonic experience.

We'd joyfully invest however much energy as could reasonably be expected watching our number one film scenes only for the treat of hearing what this speaker bundle can do. Their inconspicuous, reasonable and velvety sound creation makes the sort of superbly open and nitty gritty soundstage that genuine film sound is about. They put you in the core of the activity so briefly that you nearly disregard the speakers altogether.

7. KEF Q350 AV 5.1

It's huge, however on the off chance that you have space this speaker bundle will make your movies sing.

SPECIFICATIONS

Channels: 5.1 | Subwoofer: 300W | Finishes: Black, white

REASONS TO BUY

Intense, incredible show

Consistent reconciliation

Fine planning and dynamic reach

REASONS TO AVOID

Needs articulation at lower volumes

Cumbersome

In case space isn't an issue, you should treat yourself with this splendid KEF set-up. It is these speakers' sonic capacity that justified a five-star rating, obviously, yet there's no disregarding the KEF Q350 5.1 bundle's brutish height or the actual order it has over our listening room. It's surely not one for a little bedsit.

It's enormous and striking, with a sound to coordinate: you're blessed to receive a delightfully vivid encounter, where the speakers and sub cooperating to make a brilliantly cognizant soundfield. What's more, the bass, while amazing, is never exaggerated, which means the sound is rarely muddied or shaded. Go all in and you will not be frustrated.

8. Dali Spektor 2 5.1

This quality bundle is up there with the absolute best.

SPECIFICATIONS

Channels: 5.1 | Subwoofer: 170W | Finishes: Black, pecan

REASONS TO BUY

Itemized, engaging sound

Appealing plan

Simple to oblige

REASONS TO AVOID

Focus speaker can be bettered

If not for Q Acoustics' heavenly contributions in the 5.1 space (over), this Dali would have gotten a What Hi-Fi? Grant or two of its own. It combines a group of four of Spektor 2 standmount speakers, consecutive Award victors by their own doing, with the Spektor Vokal focus speaker and little yet-strong Sub C-8 D subwoofer.

It gives a quick, point by point and gratifyingly engaging tune in, with the sub giving a lot of scale. Exchange has a glow to it that is tragically lost in numerous systems, and the faultless feeling of timing makes for a really realistic encounter.

9. Dynaudio Evoke 50 5.1

This speaker bundle sounds far superior to it looks

SPECIFICATIONS

Channels: 5.1 | Subwoofer: 500W | Finishes: Black, white, pecan, blonde wood

REASONS TO BUY

Predictable voicing across channels

Deft subwoofer

Firm soundfield

REASONS TO AVOID

Subwoofer settings burdensome to explore

Front three speakers on the huge side

It's top of the line by the vast majority's principles yet Evoke just lounges around mostly up Dynaudio's reach. As the Danish brand has a bit of a 'show preemptive kindness' way to deal with the top of the line tech, Evoke benefits from inventive advancements in driver configuration first utilized in quite a while considerably pricier archetypes. This loans the Evoke a steady, premium sound predictable all through the entire reach and musically rigid across the recurrence range with a champion deft, low end.

The system includes Dynaudio's Evoke 50 floorstanders, the Evoke 25C focus speaker, two Evoke 10 shelf speakers and the fixed box Sub 6. In spite of being on the huge side, its spotless, moderate plan allows the cupboards to sit serenely in many rooms. From the delicately bended front corners and tightened trapezoid state of the MDF cupboards to the differentiating matt dark 'screwless' drivers and faultless shiny finish, each little detail helps the Evoke system flawlessly have its spot.

10. Jamo S 807 HCS

A fun, charming and reasonable 7.1 Dolby Atmos speaker bundle.

SPECIFICATIONS

Channels: 7.1 | Subwoofer: 100W | Finishes: Walnut, white, dark

REASONS TO BUY

Lively, dynamic and nitty gritty

S 807s can be utilized in surround sound

Appealing and reasonable plan

REASONS TO AVOID

Coarse high pitch

Could coordinate better

Delicate bass

A 7.1 Dolby Atmos bundle at this value looks too great to be valid. In any case, in addition to the fact that it is a flat out take, it's likewise an exceptionally clean, minimal undertaking – so smaller, indeed, that Jamo proposes you put the subwoofer under the couch. How's that for comfort?

The sound is dynamic and brimming with body, and the low end – while somewhat delicate – is abundant for everything except the most insightful of home film audiophiles. In case that is you, you'll be glad to spend a bit more for a smoother sound, yet the Jamo is as yet a fine choice at the cash.

11. Fyne Audio F302 AV

A commendable home film bundle that comes in at not exactly fabulous. Buy this at today online offers.

SPECIFICATIONS

Channels: 5.1 | Subwoofer: 425W | Finishes: Oak, pecan, debris

REASONS TO BUY

A lot of detail

Smart planning

Appealing plan

REASONS TO AVOID

Focus and backs need articulation

This is the principal Fyne Audio item we checked on that didn't procure five stars, yet that is more down to the opposition than any reflection on this present bundle's ability. The F302 floorstanders actually have the wow factor that got them straight onto our Awards list, and by and large function admirably with the F300 standmount encompasses and F300C focus.

Without a doubt, it's a more than a fit system, figuring out how to be both quick and deft and brimming with energy. The F3-8 sub adds a lot of bass weight, without forfeiting the degree of speed and detail. You'll simply be mindful so as to combine it with a home film amp that is capable.

This Idle Heroes Tier List contains the whole of the most critical information concerning the best Heroes in the game for you, helping you produce the best gatherings that beats the meta game.

Both PvP (Player-versus-Player) Heroes and PvE (Player-versus-condition) Heroes are referenced on this page.

This Tier List is invigorated at any rate once reliably as for the new evening out changes or to the new metas in game.

There are just such countless Artifacts in the game right now and it is the explanation referencing basically the best relics isn't fantastic for agreeable and permitted to-play players. I will endeavor to swear off recommending unequivocal Artifacts (I would, potentially in the near future). I will give you the Key Stats of them so you can without a doubt appreciate which ones you should focus on while building up your gathering.

This list of best Heroes in Idle Heroes could be phenomenal for both PvE and PvP purposes. The most grounded PvE Heroes will be referenced.

Disclaimer:

If you can't find a Hero on the list, it suggests that Hero doesn't justify taking to past 10⭐.

All Heroes referenced in the Tier List are the Heroes that worth taking to past 10⭐.

If a Hero is situating higher than another, it doesn't suggest that it is better in all conditions.

To manufacture a staggering gatherings, you should focus on their agreeable energies rather than just rankings. Guarantee one's aptitudes can fortify various' capacities.

download idle heroes pc

Changelogs:

SS Tier: Aida, Carrie, Unimax-3000, Garuda. Here are the heroes that are reliably in each and every top player's gatherings. They describe the kind of any insane 6-holy person gathering. They are really the best Heroes in the PvP matchups right now. You have to use them in your gatherings in case you have to have basic victories against various players. We at present can generally watch people using 2-3 Carries in their gatherings. Using 2xGaruda all the while is in like manner excessively strong.

S Tier: Amen-Raa, Tara, Belrain. They are commonly used when people don't have Heroes in the SS tier above. These Heroes have mind blowing abilities to enhance any Idle Heroes gathering. Also, it's regularly seen that various players use these heroes instead of various copies of the SS Tier Heroes above. You can't turn out seriously while using them in your gathering!

A Tier: Mihm, Faith Blade, Gustin, Delacium, Michelle, Kroos, Nakia. By far most of these heroes are staggering alternatives for the SS and S Tier Heroes above. They offer phenomenal assistance and interference to the gathering. They are irrefutably strong and interesting to play with. Top players will believe that its hard to put them in their gatherings. Regardless, if you are an inventive player, you will find assorted exceptional ways to deal with use them sufficiently. They are an extraordinary change to your gathering if you are finding the current meta-game depleting. You won't win as much as before yet you will have even more interesting battles.

B Tier: Penny, Aspen, Dark Arthindol, Emily, Horus, Cthugha, Elyvia. The game has gotten some enormous changes as of late. People are by and by using space 1 tank way less; Heroes who can gobble up Energy make dynamic Heroes way less fruitful. Direct Heroes are not replaced by more versatile Heroes. The Hero pool decision is by and by a lot more noteworthy! These Heroes can do well in an enormous bit of the gatherings and in most by far of the cases, in any case, they will as a rule tumble off in end game matches.

C Tier: Asmodel, Amuvor, Valkyrie, Oberon, Asmodel. They were the top tier Heroes in Idle Heroes. Nevertheless, this is the new metagame so appallingly, they should be pushed down in the situating. They are the most extremely horrendous of the best Heroes. They are still use-competent anyway It's not endorsed to use them in your gatherings if you have to fight in the Arena. They are not food, yet they are not the ones you have to use. Keep them in your stock and maybe they will be satisfactory later on.

D Tier: Aidan, Jahra, Flamestrike, Valentino, Xia, Skerei, King Barton, Vesa, Starlight, Rosa.

This tier has the best number of Heroes on the tier list since this tier is for typical Heroes. There is motivation to use them and they are incredible at that reason. Nevertheless, they are not phenomenal for various purposes. You may get a significant stimulated while using them anyway at long last, you have to have Heroes which are more versatile. You have to outpseed the adversaries and control them with astonishing capacities and aggravation. These Heroes are just not extraordinary at that.

E Tier: Kamath, Sigmund, Das Moge, Corpsedemon, Queen, Groo, Barea. To be totally direct, except for Sigmund and the Shadow Heroes, the others should simply be considered "World class" Heroes. They were extraordinary 2 years back yet no more. If you are one of the best Groo fans, I am so lamented.

F Tier: Baade, Heart Watcher, Blood Blade. If you have to win, essentially don't use them in PvP. Heart Watcher is insane in PvE, regardless, in PvP, she never has a spot, don't endeavor it. Ace Baade is exceptional yet... he sucks. I have no comment to Blood Blade, he is basically so irregular.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Meet For First Time in New Event Series From BOOM! Studios

“No one could possibly love the Power Rangers or the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles more than the creative team at the helm of this epic event! Which means they’ve got every dream team up scenario you can think of jam-packed into the pages of every issue.” said Dafna Pleban, Editor, BOOM! Studios. “Monsters will grow. Shells will get kicked.

New Release Roundup, 1 December 2018: Science Fiction

Balboa takes on all comers in war, computer hackers crack the human brain, a near-immortal alien bumbles through galactic politics, and Britain’s fleets take to space once more in this week’s roundup of the newest releases in science fiction.

Bound by Honor (Vigilante #4) – Terry Mixon and Glynn Stewart

An enemy of newfound strength. A friend gone missing in the night. A threat that can be ignored no more.

Brad Madrid, Commodore of the Vikings Mercenary Company, has once again been drawn into the war against the resurgent Cadre. Called into action in battles across the Solar System, from the fogs of Venus to the ice fields of Ceres, he faces deadly enemies at every turn.

In the midst of the chaos, Brad learns that his Agency contact and partner, Kate Falcone, has gone missing before she could deliver the evidence of treason she carried. With millions of lives at stake, finding her cannot be his first priority, but he searches as he goes.

Then an old enemy shares a poisonous gift as they flee from battle: the Cadre doesn’t have Kate Falcone. They know who does, however, and the hints they give Brad lead him to the one place he thought he would never make war…

Empire Ascendant (Road To Empire #2) – Dietmar Arthur Wehr

The grand experiment of a democratic Commonwealth of Star Nations has failed. With colony after colony leaving the Commonwealth, Earth finds itself in desperate straits as ecological disaster and mass starvation looms in the near future. The collapse of the Commonwealth means there’s now a power vacuum but no shortage of ruthless egos looking to fill that vacuum. Will it be the Republic of Corona, the most prosperous and populous colony world or a resurgent Earth under a messianic leader or perhaps a power-hungry interstellar corporation?

The ten year old Tau Ceti Empire is at a critical junction. The power vacuum left over from the collapse of the Commonwealth has been filled by five multi-planet star nations, the TCE being one of them. If the other four join forces and attack the TCE, it will be overwhelmed and crushed. But the longer Empress Brandenburg waits, the bigger the difference in military strength becomes. She must make plans soon because the leaders of the other four are already making theirs.

Who will ultimately stand astride a unified human star empire?

Hard Luck Hank: Dumber Than Dead (Hard Luck Hank #7) – Steven Campbell

Hank is getting married!

The space station Belvaille has become home to a species of actors. The newest edition to the Post Colmarian Confederation are the Damakan race. As a species they are capable of “broadcast empathy.” Their acting skills are so powerful they are able to make people believe their portrayals are literally happening—even over remote transmission.

Belvaille, with its access to powerful radio telescopes, becomes an entertainment powerhouse, cranking out Damakan dramas and tragedies across the empire. As the city modifies is resources to accommodate the new cash cow, Hank is hired to protect important actors by the city’s premier talent agent: his butler Cliston.

But the good times don’t last as Damakans start getting murdered and whole productions are sabotaged and even outright attacked. The Navy threatens to get involved as their favorite tele programs are interrupted and Garm, the Adjunct Overwatch of the city, enlists Hank to find the source of the violence and put an end to it.

Hank fears his own betrothed is in danger as the city gets dragged into a gang war of which no one knows the cause.

Make Science Fiction Fun Again – Jon Del Arroz

Do you miss the days when science fiction stories meant fun, crazy ideas? When a short fiction collection would entertain you and wow you with its strange, bold worlds? Then you’ll love the leading Hispanic voice in Science Fiction’s debut short fiction collection. With influences ranging from Heinlein, to McCaffrey, to Burroughs, these short stories run a gambit of telling unique stories that couldn’t be published by a major publisher today.

Inside, you’ll find tales of fighting monsters on alien planets, Nazi soldiers stumbling into a futuristic war where all life is at stake, AI coming to life and inhabiting a sexbot’s body, baseball on the moon, and more. It also features an introduction by Castalia House blogger and fan favorite, Daddy Warpig and the first collaboration between Jon Del Arroz and S. Misanthrope in “Unsafe (In) Space”.

Read it now and together we can make science fiction full of wonder again, we can make science fiction entertaining again, and we can Make Science Fiction Fun Again!

Para Bellum (Ark Royal #13) – Christopher Nuttall

On her last mission, HMS Invincible discovered an alien threat beyond human understanding: a sentient virus that has already absorbed a number of intelligent races into its multitude and now intends to do the same to humanity. Defeat means the end of everything, the end of existence as nothing more than mindless host-bodies, the end of humanity and its alien allies alike. The stakes could not be higher.

As a deeply divided humanity struggles to prepare a defence, with enemies inside and outside the human sphere just lurking to strike, Invincible is sent deep into alien space on what should have been a simple reconnaissance mission. But, as Captain Shields and his crew begin their mission, it rapidly becomes clear that a juggernaut is bearing down on Earth …

… And, no matter what they do, they may never make it home again.

A Pillar of Fire by Night (Carerra Series #7) – Tom Kratman

Carrera’s held off his enemies coming by sea from the north, in the process dealing the naval and amphibious forces of the Zhong Empire a stinging defeat. The Zhong won’t soon forget the blood-stained waters and the heaped up bodies on the shores of Balboa’s Isla Real.

Now, though, his adopted country of Balboa is under assault from the east, from the south, from the west, from the air, and from space. The Zhong, smarting from the butchery around the island, have bounced back and forced a lodgment east of the capital. Their lodgment is still a-building but when it is done Carrera can expect several hundred thousand brave and determined Zhong to show up on his barely defended flank.

It’s beginning to look like the game is up for Balboa and Patricio Carrera.

But Carrera’s been planning this war for fifteen years. He certainly hopes his enemies think they’re winning.

The Raygin War – Larry Gerovac

In order to defend against an alien invasion by an advanced race that evolved from Carrion beetles, the military put all its hope into a single person. He’s an old school soldier who started his career as a ground pounder in the Sniper Corps. Mac has been involved in about every conflict the military has participated in.

His skill as a sniper earned him the respect of every soldier who ever worked with him. He is a self taught killer. On the battlefield he has no equal. No one knows his actual body count, but everyone has a story about his skills. Whether it was killing the opponent in hand-to-hand combat, killing them with a weapon, or just plain old out maneuvering them Mac was the best the military had ever seen. If there was a conflict somewhere in the universe you could bet Mac was in the middle of it.

In order to use Mac’s skills to the utmost the Vice Admiral reinstated the old military rank of commodore for him. In times of war a commodore out ranks the vice admiral and even the elected president of the United Federation of Planets. When the Raygin war starts Mac is forced to initiate the War Powers Act making him the most powerful human ever.

Will Mac’s experience and talent be enough to neutralize the alien invasion? All is not what it seems.

Save Point: Upload – Matthew Siege

Adam Harris’s name has just appeared on a top secret list of extraterrestrial origin. Unbeknownst to him, he’s one of a handful of individuals capable of implementing a Save Point, a static moment in time he’s able to revisit over and over upon death.

It’s a good thing, too. Brain cancer was turning into a real drag…

The government owns the list though, and they’ve wasted no time snapping him up. According to them, he has thirteen days in an alien realm to learn as much as he can before the inevitable, at which point his memories, Skill Progressions and Weapon Proficiencies will endure despite his body resetting.

Then it’s rinse and repeat.

But there are unwritten rules to the game he’s about to play, and unseen forces acting in judgment.

Adam will have to learn the hard way that dying is the easiest thing he’s going to do today.

Spyware: It’s Not What You Think – Colin Robertson

Zombies, hackers, and U.S. Senators–what could be scarier? A modern horror sci-fi satire that imagines a world where cable news, social media and other mass media is used to infect the minds of the American public!

Someone has just released a virus capable of infecting the most advanced computer of all — the human brain.

Fortunately, it has been discovered by a brilliant hacker. Unfortunately, that hacker is Eddy Pending.

Eddy isn’t your typical criminal with a dark personal past. He’s far more messed up than that. Eddy’s past a maze of madness, bizarre family members, and truly terrible life choices. So, when the Men in Rose Coloured Glasses show up at his door armed with business cards that can kill, Eddy knows the right thing to do – run! Unfortunately for Eddy, that’s just not going to work. So he might just have to fight back instead.

Uprising (Fugitive Marines Book 4) – David Ryker and Douglas Scott

Double-crossed. Imprisoned. Fighting for their lives.

For the Jarheads of Oberon, it’s just another Tuesday.

But when an old foe reveals that the world is on the brink of a final world war, Quinn realizes they have to accept an impossible mission from someone he can’t trust, to find the one person who can possibly stop the evil schemes of Morley Drake and unite the world against the coming alien invasion. But who can he trust when everyone is looking out for themselves?

Meanwhile, Chelsea’s mind is slowly being poisoned by her father, and it’s up to her friends to navigate the unreal world of cortical reality and save her – and themselves – from a fate worse than attenuation. And all the while, the newly evolved Kergan is closing in on the ultimate weapon that will allow him to create a new interstellar empire on his own – starting with Earth.

Music, comedy take centre stage at National Arts Fest

A Midsummer Nights Dream The Ballet – Mahlatse Sachaneas Oberon with his fairies.

Arts and entertainment lovers should keep their eyes peeled for a series of early booking opportunities for this year’s National Arts Festival.

For the first time, popular shows will enjoy a limited release ahead of the 9 May online box office opening and full programme reveal. This will allow festival-goers a chance to secure some top shows and start shaping their Festival experience. Details will be released on social media.

National Arts Festival

To date the Festival’s main programme has been announced and fans are currently digesting numerous reasons to make 2017 a big Festival year.

SERIOUS ABOUT COMEDY The National Arts Festival is tearing up the comedy stage this year, starting with international comedian Stephen K Amos on the opening weekend. The globe-trotting laughter master will perform his new show WORLD FAMOUS on 2 & 3 July only. Tickets are now available so fans should grab them while they’re hot.

Together with the Brighton Fringe, the National Arts Festival has brought IT’S ONLY BIRDS to the 2017 Festival; Louise Reay’s trail-blazing language experiment in non-verbal communication. “You’ll understand it but won’t know why”, says Chinese-speaking Reay, who was recently won awards in Brighton and at other World Fringe Alliance events in Adelaide and Edinburgh.

Home-grown talents John van de Ruit (Spud) and Ben Voss (Beauty Ramapelepele) are reunited for a savagely funny look at all that is wrong with the ‘Rainbow Nation’ in MAMBA REPUBLIC. Topics such as fees must fall, state capture, online dating, the economy, sport, technology, casual racism, an alternative national anthem, and even the most unusual football match in living memory, are given the once over by the duo. Succeeding its predecessors Green Mamba (2002) and Black Mamba (2005), the show will run from 2-8 July.

Trailing endless accolades and endorsements from international festivals– including the Brighton and Cape Town Fringe 2016, the UK’s The Pretend Men will present POLICE COPS; an action-packed hour of adrenaline-fueled physical comedy, cinematic style and uncompromising facial hair. Runs daily throughout the Festival.

There’s also the return of the ever popular VERY BIG COMEDY SHOW (5 July), a one-night only comedy gala evening, produced and emcee’d by Rob van Vuuren. This year’s show will include Loyiso Gola, Tats Nkonzo, Mojak Lehoko, Alan Committie, Louise Reay, Nik Rabinowitz and Virgil Prins. Expect to see plenty more exciting comedy reveals and familiar names as the Fringe programme goes online.

MUSICAL GENIUS LIVE It’s an exciting year for music on the Festival’s Main stages as Featured Artist, Neo Muyanga, leads the charge through a programme filled with tradition, innovation and experimentation.

Muyanga’s solo work, Solid(T)Ary Work, promises a survey of the tradition of protest song in the global south: moving swiftly between the chanted chorales of Soweto and Salvador to the laments around the squares of Tahrir and Meskel, the presentation is a musical contemplation of modes of resistance in a world hit by flux. Muyanga will also present a collection of songs and music through a trio comprised of Andre Swartz, Peter Ndlala and Eastern Cape-born artist Msaki.

Msaki, recently nominated for a South African Music Award (SAMA), also performs with her band the Golden Circle in PLATINUMb HEART, an exploration of trauma and its ability to ossify, alienate and elude one into thinking one is coping. “The heart merely becomes numb as we move on to the next #trending issue without a chance to mourn or the time to heal,” says Msaki.

THE STANDARD BANK YOUNG ARTIST FOR MUSIC in 2017, Abel Selaocoe, celebrates a much-anticipated return visit to South Africa after an extended time spent playing on top international stages. Abel’s Festival offering will explore the virtuosity of the cello and his diverse musicianship ranging from Debussy’s poetic and vivid Cello Sonata to James Macmillan’s spiritual reflective music – ending with foot stomping klezmer and African style inspired pieces. Catch him on the 5 & 6 July only.

Off the back of the release of their debut number 1 charting collaboration, Kahn Morbee and Karen Zoid will present one concert only (3 July) of WE COULD BE DIVINE their new collaboration and a song writing process Kahn describes as “organic and effortless”. Festival audiences are well advised to book now for what is sure to be an early sell-out show.

Another Festival favourite is the GALA CONCERT; taking place on the closing weekend of the Festival this year (8 July) it will feature the Cape Town Philharmonic, conducted by Richard Cock, with soloists Abel Selaocoe (cello) and Luis Magalhães (piano).

Double platinum selling a cappella group The Soil will present two concerts on 30 June and 1 July. Defined as ‘Kasi Soul’, their music is a blend of contemporary township style and an eclectic mix of urban contemporary, fusing beat box and soul. This show has been opened for limited bookings, visit the box office to check availability.

RAGTIME PLUS (1&2 July) is an informative and highly accessible programme about ragtime music. Presented in France and Switzerland to great audience and critical response, it’s an ongoing and ever-evolving project, which changes as creator Liza Joubert finds different pieces and new information to present to different audiences.

The debut production by the award-winning Charl du Plessis Trio, BAROQUESWING, returns from sold out tours in Europe and the Far-East, to perform in a series of Grahamstown concerts with famous melodies from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, Bach’s Air on a G String and Musette and Minuet from Notenbüchlein für Anna Magdalena, amongst others (29 and 30 June).

THE CHILDREN’S CONCERT is a great way to introduce children to music and the orchestra with a relaxed and interactive concert of popular classics and South African favourites – children can meet the musicians in the National Youth Wind Orchestra, and a few familiar (or unfamiliar) instruments. Catch it on the 7 July.

Another inspiration to children – and adults – everywhere is Pendo Masote, a 13-year-old violinist who will play with a small string ensemble. Born into a richly musical environment, Pendo is proof that classical music has a bright future. See him perform on 29 and 30 June and 1 July.

Jimmy Nevis whose hit songs include Elephant Shoes, Heart Boxing, Balloon, 7764, Misscato, All About It, and his breakout new single Don’t Wanna Fight will perform on 30 June only.

A journey through time and place, exploring new genres for the violin such as film and gaming music, is how Naomi Tagg describes NEOLEKTRA. “I wanted to break away from classical ideas of the violin and to present it in a light that was accessible to many more listeners than just the classical world,” says Tagg. Made up of 5 string players, a DJ/synthesist and a percussionist audiences can expect a dramatic show, that pushes boundaries, and disrupts our ideas of where instruments traditionally fit in. Two concerts only on 3 & 4 July.

Together with the Standard Bank Jazz Festival, the National Arts Festival 2017 presents Desmond and the Tutus and Opposite the Other in a Double Bill. Desmond and the Tutu’s have been touring their infectious shape-shifting brand of kwela-indie-punk for just on ten years. The band’s latest album Enjoy Yourself won the SAMA for Best Rock Album in 2016. Other highlights on the Jazz stage include Judith Sephuma, James Morrison Quintet (Austraila) Estafest (Netherlands), Michael Pipoquinha (Brazil), Marcus Wyatt’s BOMB SHELTER BEAST, Africa Mkhize and Kyle Shepherd among others.

While front man Sam Burger has, over the past years, established a solid YouTube following with over 200,000 hits, the band Opposite the Other was only founded in late 2015. Since then their star has risen fast. Their performance at Rocking the Daisies 2016 saw them voted one of the Top 20 acts at the festival and their first single Ride Away organically reached the Top 10 on the Spotify Global Viral 50 Chart (peaking at #8). Notably it also made its way into the Top 10 in the US and Top 5 in both Australia and New Zealand.

The double bill with Opposite the Other is on 29 June, whilst Desmond and the Tutus play their own gig on 30 June.
