Most streamers and viewers should be familiar with strawpoll as a way to quickly create a poll. Pollymorph takes this idea a step further by offering a Hearthstone-specific poll service, which lets you quickly set up polls like "Which class should I play?". Of course, standard text polls are also supported.



Features include live updates, support for up to 16 options, chat-friendly short URLs on pollymorph.com, multi-vote prevention and pretty colors.

But other than that, very nicely done of course! ☆Grubby ☆| Tod|DeMusliM|ThorZaiN|SaSe|Moon|Mana| ☆HerO ☆

Doesn't seem to work correctly. I tried to create a poll including Mage, Rogue, and Warlock and instead I got a poll with Druid, Hunter, and Mage. Happened twice in a row.

http://www.liquidhearth.com/pollymorph/e2 Yep, seems to have a bug. Just did Druid/Paladin/Warlock and instead the poll options showed Druid/Hunter/Mage Playing better than standard requires deviation. This divergence usually results in sub-standard play.

asplodedbaneling Profile Joined May 2013 United States 2 Posts #13 you might want to add another loop for the toggle all, as it leaves out previously selected classes. Otherwise its a sleek looking poll!

R1CH Profile Joined May 2007 Netherlands 216 Posts #14 That behavior is intended as a way to easily create an inverted selection (eg all classes except X). Twitter: @R1CH_TL

Ketch Profile Joined October 2010 Netherlands 110 Posts #15 So Amaz used it on his stream today and it was a bit laggy... it worked out in the end but it took a good 10secs to load the results page, for both me and Amaz himself



It looks sleek though! Nice color scheme and the realtime updating is fun!

Handling thousands of requests in a single second turns out to be kind of tricky. Thanks Amaz . I'm aware of the lag issues, I'm definitely working on optimizing it so it loads faster! Currently the websocket backend (node) is the bottleneck, so I'm going to run multiple instances balanced by ip_hash through nginx and I've just got done setting up a multicast UDP update system so the web backend doesn't have to wait for a HTTP request to complete.Handling thousands of requests in a single second turns out to be kind of tricky.
