Opinions on Dominion Welcome

(I've seen a discussion on Dominion some time ago but I thought I'd make one myself)

I wish that Dominion was more popular than what it is. I personally enjoy it's concept and occasionally find myself playing it in custom since the queue is virtually non-existent. I think Dominion should be updated like Summoner's Rift and Twisted Treeline. Riot should at least do something to make it more enticing to play. Like, give the option of granting Skin Boosts like in ARAM or let the map have a featured game mode (Hexakill and URF are my suggestions).

Anyone else share my thoughts?

I think their is this cycle of hesitation. Riot won't do anything until people start showing interest, and people won't have any interest until Riot does something.

I think it's a fun game mode, But it take's too long to find enough players. (and I wish people were interested.)

Graves will never get his cigar back, so I voted for that. Sorry dominion players, but riot gives little shits about you

The problem is that Riot seemingly has no interest in supporting the map unless the overall League playerbase supports the map. However, the overall playerbase has no interest in supporting the map when there is little reason to bother becoming good at the map. Dominion isn't as straightforward as ARAM, so it doesn't appeal to casuals. It doesn't have ranked/rewards like TT/SR, so Dom doesn't appeal to competitive players either. In the past, Riot asked about alternative features that would appeal to players instead of ranked, but absolutely nothing came about from that discussion.

Skin boosts and Featured Game Modes wouldn't really address any playerbase issues. Featured Modes probably don't result in player retention due to the vast differences from normal play, and skin boosts likely don't affect player interest in the first place.

The answer to the poll is the ranked release of urf mode.

had been incredible fun during S2, then did get left in the dust for years and slowly lost it´s appeal for most players - it´s a lot of wasted potential atm, unfortunatly.
