The old system relied on people to play nice. If that didn't always happen, it didn't matter too much if only one or two of the shortlisted finalists were affected. This year several categories have been completely taken over by block-voters. The Rabid Puppies would rather crap all over the place and ruin it for everyone. (The SP slate is arguably not terrible, if still misguided, but the RP additions are just plain and simple trolling.)
