Sonic/Sonic: 1
Rad/Rad: 0
Because sonic is underloved and I didn't want to see Rad win in a 10-0 landslide victory!

Have to defend my first and main character I guess.

Rad is too often spoilt by poor players. Those who play sonics, at least to the high levels, tend to know what they're doing. Plus, underrated set
Sonic/Sonic : 3
Rad/Rad : 1
Because my Warshade loves getting a Sonic/* on the team, maxxed out Resist shields!! And I prefer my Dark/Sonic Defender to my Dark/Rad one.

Sonic Resonance was one of my favourite sets to play to 50, mainly because it let me focus on my primary power set! ...still hate the orange though and I want the old sonic effects back 
Sonic/Sonic: 4
Rad/Rad: 2
A Rad/ offers more to a team, some people playing them poorly shouldn't cloud judgement, by same principle, most blasters ingame would be useless
Sonic/sonic, because I have both sonic/ and /sonic defenders but havent got a rad

Because this coin I just flipped came up heads, and heads means "vote for Sonic/Sonic Ted, then roll one....You listening to me Maul you northern monkey?!"
And if I ignore the coin I am beaten.

The only Defender set with BOTH self mez protection and a self-damage buff. And can cap own resists with an epic shield. What's not to love? The obscenely good /Sonic secondary is just icing on the cake...

Sonic is superior to Rad as a teamplayer with all the buffs/debuffs.

I believe someone's misunderstood how the scorin' is bein' tallied here.
Following on from Stryke, as praetorian is very unclear over who they opted for:
Sonic/Sonic - 9
Rad/Rad -6
Not only could a Sonic/Sonic be King of Defenders, they could be a King of Rock Across the Cosmos.
Also has [Drum Solo], which while having a needlessly long animation time will put the Rad/Rad to Sleep.

Debuffing tank vs buffing/debuffing tank, hmmm.
Sonic/Sonic - 0
Dark/Sonic - 1
Dark/ has an advantage over Sonic/ in that it has a very powerful, and spammable, self-heal where-as Sonic/ has nothing to that effect outside of Aid Self. It also has Fear effects and Shadow-Fall proves decent for Energy resistance.
Fluffy, alas, would not fare well in this battle. He does not cope well with being shouted at. (Sonic in PvP is entirely energy damage I think... and Fluffy already has -resist to Energy even before Sonic's own -resist kicks in.)
Also, Siren's Song drops Sonic Dispersion, and while being somewhat inaccurate, Sonic/Sonic has little means of building up any significant defense, so it will be hitting reliably if slotted.
In any case, this one is going to be noisy.

If this keeps up people with think I hate sonic. But this is just love for the Dark

Whilst Dark/ has ToHit and Damage debuffs which are good for actually defending teammates, and -Regen, and the Cone Fear, and the powerful PBAoE self heal, and the AoE rez, and Shadowfall, and Fluffy...
...there are just SO MANY of them. Dark/ is incredibly popular. Probably because it's such an awesome set.
Oh, and nothing ever actually stands inside Tar Patch.
And 'Petrifying Gaze' and 'Dark Hole' both suck donkeyballs.
Sonic on the other hand is such a pain in the posterior to play that it takes a special kind of masochistic idiot to get one the whole way to 50. With extra bonus points if you don't develop a strange phobia of Tangerines.

I actually think Sonic/Sonic is a better team defender but Dark/? is just so much more fun than Sonic/? will ever be so it gets my vote.

One of my favourite topics of US forums has always been King of the Defenders: A Defender Forum Game by Jock Tamson. That said, I decided to start the very same game on our forum. It goes like this:
[ QUOTE ]

1. Each contest shall consist of 2 Defender Primary/Secondary combinations.
2. Anyone may start a contest, but having done so may not vote in it.
3. You may not vote more than once in a given contest.
4. The winner is the first set to 10 votes.
5. Once a winner is determined it must be included in the next contest against a challenger.
6. If multiple posters attempt to start a challenge, the first one in wins, the others will have to try again later.
7. Players of the current champion power set gain the unofficial right to include the title "King of Defenders" whenever they refer to it.
8. If this thread disapears the last champion holds the title until the end of time, or until someone starts a new thread, whichever comes first.
9. There is no rule 9.
10. Post in the following formats:
