Interestingly enough, when they do, people often whinge and complain about how it affects their ability to use personals on them. It would seem that top-tier battles just can't win for winning.

That's a fair point bro. But, re-read carefully what I said. I said their win percentages are slightly higher due to their "fame", you understand? There are some people who would never vote against a mod/champion no matter what. They fear people will think they're uneducated if they disagree with a mod/champ. Lockhart & Esso are both hella talented and creative and I'm not saying anything against them personally. My entire point I am trying to get across, it's a conflict of interest. I've seen dudes beat a champ/mods fair and still "lose", just recently in fact. It is what it is tho I suppose.
