It's been quite a while since this has been sussed out, and there's new blood in the mix now. Who is your favorite pinball designer? These are listed in alphabetical order. Let's see who's boss in 2020!
Once you vote for a designer here, vote for all your favorite pinball coders in this thread:

Quoted from TheLaw:Think that's pretty obvious before anyone even voted.
He did design some great games (LotR, Monster Bash), but except for Deadpool, those were all a long time ago, so maybe that's why. Or maybe the ratio of dud to hit (very high for him) has done him in.
Quoted from SKWilson:Gomez did Revenge, not Attack from Mars.
Yeah, brain fart. Of course AfM was Brian Eddy. RfM was nothing to write home about, so Gomez lack of love is looking more obvious now... 
Quoted from moto_cat:No love for Mark Ritchie?
That's why I said feel free to post about your favorite if they're not on the list...I did it from memory and was sure to miss some people might want, but I got most of the majors.
Quoted from Coolpinballdino:Keith Elwin.
You voted that in the poll above, right? Just want to make sure people realize there's a poll at the top...
So after two days, Keith Elwin and Pat Lawlor are tied for first with 30 votes each, with Steve Ritchie bringing up third place. Everyone has votes except Charlie Emery.
I'm actually surprised Borg hasn't had more love. I knew he wouldn't be first, but I thought he'd have more votes...
Quoted from cmack750:I doubt it'd change the results, but the designer list is pretty suspect.... No Oursler, JPop, Mark Ritchie? No Kaminkow? But somehow, everyone who has ever designed a game for Spooky makes the cut? I love those guys, but come on! Don't you have to have a body of work for this to be legit? Ben Heck has designed 1 produced machine, they made 150 of them, and almost no one has ever had a chance to play it. Really?
Oursler pre-2000
JPop pre-2000, except for Magic Girl unfinished game and unreleased deeproot work
Mark Ritchie pre-2000
Kaminkow...I don't think he's designed anything recently, has he?
I was trying to list designers with recent work released. Maybe I should have said "whose new releases do you look forward to most" or something...
Quoted from Diospinball:Recent works. Then you could take John T off the list. Sure GB just had a major code update. But, I don't think he'll be involved in pinball ever again. Don't know which company would ever want to hire him.
Trudeau's there because of WWE/Mustang/Ghostbusters and the way the question is framed currently. If it were reframed to whose releases do you look forward to, it wouldn't be there.
