Hey, guys! I'm a newcomer to this wiki and I want to say hello and talk about a specific topic. Usually when a new rap battle comes up, whats the second thing we do besides watch it? Read the comments. Usually we all hate doing this as it is filled with mouth-breathers who complain about everything, and its always infested with 12 year olds as it may seem.

The highest complaint that seems to surface besides "Not being historical" is that ERB was not as good as its second season. Now I have seen this series since Chief vs Leonidas. I do not agree with anything they say. There really is only 2 ERBoHs that I was really disappointed with, and that was Holmes vs Batman and Cyrus vs Joan of Arc. Neither of those are the lowest rated ERB ever.

So I decided to take the likes in the videos divided by the dislikes and I get the Like to Dislike Ratio, like 27 to 1 or 32.21 to 1. This is really the only way to determine how much the public really liked it, as usually people who loved it and had 0 complaints compared to people who hated the video and clicked off usually didnt comment anyways. Now after calculating these, I determined that the L/D Ratio avg and found which were above and below. A ton of Season 3 is above the actual average. Not just Season 3.5. Shown here:

Your opinion obviously shouldnt be motivated by these numbers as these are just statistics. I usually wait a week and a few days to calculated the L/D Ratio. The Newton vs Nye was at 100+-1 in its first few days. It just recently took the top spot. Anyways I just wanted to show the Wiki the numbers and show that those morons on YT expect too much and yet the highest ones are the ones that just came out. (Sorry if my first post here was lengthy)
