Default The problem with LB text battles (and why multi's will always win over bars)

I recently returned to LB and found a trend in voting which makes it almost impossible for a MC to win a battle if he/she doesn't fit a certain style of battling.The way LB's voting system is set up creates a active community but it also creates a lazy community. You need to vote on 3 battles to send a text. Some people on LB are fair voters and props to them for bettering LB but, the vast majority do not share this same category. The vast majority is populated by MC's that are interested in battling and not voting (As you would expect with a site filled with battle rappers) so voting is a rushed and neglected process which benefits a specific division of MC's. This division of MC's focus on multi-syllabic rhyme schemes and flow because when the vast majority votes they scan the round once and 9 times out of 10 Multi MC's will hit hardest.
Having actual judges in LB would be great but this isn't something I foresee happening. Just my thoughts on the situation.
