It'd really only be 3-5 log-ins, as it takes give or take 3-4 full LP matches to rank up to level 3 or 4 for people with mediocre amounts of skill at the game. Doing that and maybe dropping in a match for slow additional leveling is something I could see quite a number of people doing if they actually cared who they were fighting. That and I know at least a dozen people that have 2 accounts that are rank 20, so it wouldn't be much of an issue to grind alts up to 10+ and have substantially more weight on the votes than anyone else.

I meant who would have the time to physically log in an out of 20 different accounts. That would take 3-5 minutes for each account to type in an email and password, wait for the game to load, vote and log out.However I do see your point on having a few higher weight accounts. The idea of weighting rank is still valid though, just have to make each rank progressively more valuable in much the same way as it requires more and more LP to get to the next rank. At some point it must become pointless to either spam accounts or grind higher value ones, at that point the problem becomes less of an issue.I think anyone who has had the fortitude to grind out rank 20 once let alone even more should have more influence than Johnny come lately (spam) account. As they have probably done more to keep the game mode alive than 90% of the rest of the population. Also if LP is no longer worth anything (beyond rank 20) to a loyalist then having some voting influence might be the only perk to staying with a faction or even playing.The other option is to simply limit it to only those over say Rank 15, hard enough for all but the most serious of loyalists, but it might actually concentrate the power into to small of a player base, thus defeating it's purpose.
