Dear Riot, Nobody asked for this.

Okay, so let me start by saying this: Dominion USED to be fun as hell. I used to pay that more than SR because it was quick and pretty balanced.

So, upon seeing "Definitely NOT Dominion." Pop-up, I SQUUEEEE'd I popped in a queue, and soon we were banning and picking champ, Gods was I excited!

That excitement was swiftly brought to a careening halt by 5 minutes into the match.

The enemy team was Ekko, Teemo, Yasuo, Yi, and Annie. Pretty Solid.

We had Zed, Teemo, Ekko (me), Sion and Annie.

We had won the first couple of teamfights, and had the majority of towers, but then suddenly they killed three of us and took the storm altar.

From that point forward, we were snowballed to death. Despite gear, and teamplay advantages.... Fucking Yi can 1v5 our entire team and just decimate us.

Plus, they got "Ultra Minions" like nobodies business.

Every single time they capped a fucking relic. "The enemy fucksquad has summoned another assraper."

I have never been so disappointed in my life. I was like, "Well, maybe it's just a fluke." and played about 7 more games.

To which I arrived at a stunning conclusion.

You absolute braindead morons ruined one of my favorite gametypes. You took it away along with Twisted Treeline, because 'Summoner's Rift is our main focus." (I.E. PLAY OUR GAME MAKE US MONEY, E-SPORTS, BE PR0 MLG Fegits! DON'T LIKE IT? FUCKING DRINK BLEACH OR GET GUD)

And you have only RE-added them for limited times and embarrassingly underwhelming game modes.

8 matches and I have never been so angry and distraught in my entire LoL career. I have been around since Nami was brand new. What the fuck was your thought process?

"Let's take away Dominion, and then re-vamp it. Simple straightforward point control with balanced mechanics? Fuking noobs, add SUPER altars that give free Kennen E's and do 1000 Damage with arbitary time limits and insane amounts seemingly randomized effectiveness."

"You know what sounds like even more cancer than that? Adding some form of intangible timer for Minions that are so insanely and maddenly tide turning that your entire team has to focus it to stop it from winning by itself."

"That's fantastic, PLUS let's give everything insane powerspikes and make it to where they can capture relics that that other useless game mode, Ascension!"

"OH YEAH! hahahah! Let's go get drunk and snort cocaine off a teenage prostitute because me make SO MUCH MONEY!"

"YEAHHHHHH!"

Okay; So i'm salty and that may be a Lot unreasonable, but seriously. Why. Dominion was fast paced, and fun. It didn't NEED any changes. Or rebalancing Or tweaks or edits or anything. But you absolute shitgibbons had to stick your greedy bored fucking paws into something reasonably FUN, and make it all about how fast we can press keys, get gud, and make the other team AFK.

Summoner's Rift is for Skill. Bots are for Practice. Aram is for shenanigans. Dominion was for fun. Until you ruined it. Good job. You have successfully made me hate one of my favorite things about this cock heap of a game.

I think if this post wasn't uh, festooned with profanity, you'd have a better shot of riot giving your feedback a fair look

Haven't seen this when I have played it (about 20 times so far). The only problem I see is that controlling the top altar is the only thing that really matters at all when it comes to winning or losing the game, so it makes the DND mode very one dimensional. Actually, I find the super minions etc quite irrelevant. If your team holds top altar longer than the other team you win, if not you lose, everything else doesn't make enough difference by comparison to matter at all.

i think DND is the worse mode and is also the less played

That's the thing, Dominion was losing popularity because of SR Craze when E-sports was new. Now that E-sports is a 'take it or leave it" They had to try and make it "Hardcore pr0 MLG CoD So gud feggit" Dominion

One thing they did get right, It's definitely NOT Dominion, its something much fucking worse.

I would normally agree, however i've attempted both approaches. Both reasonable, and unreasonable in the past. Riot doesn't really care either way from my experience.

Summoner's Rift is for Skill. Bots are for Practice. Aram is for shenanigans. Dominion was for fun.

Everything else aside, the implication that ARAM and Dominion somehow aren't "for skill" is pretty ridiculous.
