I think everybody has different views of what is the most important thing in a battle.
Wordplay; some people LOVE wordplay, e.g. SWAVY, DeNiro B Milk.
Flow / schemes; I don't know how people use flow in a text battle, but I see it a lot. So I guess 'readability' and structure is the most important factor for some voters. This is a deciding point with Rhet, Vitriol and Askari.
Punches; The majority of the site vote on punches I would have thought, RULE, May, UNKNOWN ARTIST, yourself.
Personals; I think this is the second most important factor in a battle, if somebody is personal with it and it's REAL, even if the punches lack slightly but hit hard enough, then that tips it for me. Personals > Fake personals.
Entertainment; Most important, punches can be dope, if i'm bored... i'm fucking bored. Gotta be entertained. I know others like FUEL, FAME and Vitriol vote strongly on this.
Comedy; Important to people like FAME and FUEL again, similar to above. Jokes > Shitty bars. Bars > Jokes for me.
Creativity and Originality; I think a lot of people are starting to vote on this, if a line/bar/verse is played the it losses a LOT of points instantly. Rarely see a played verse come up as the winner at the moment (apart from MaCcs verses)
Probably missed a LOT. It's difficult to say 'the best verse' and everybody agree as everybody has different ideas on what makes something the best.
