To those saying: why do you care you don't play enough dominon?

Arcade Andrew··3 votes·343 views

Let's put it this way:

I bet you play call of duty or something or gta online. Imagine if they suddenly said you can no Longer use the highest level gun that requires the highest level to unlock.

Examples COD mw2: ak47 Gta online: mini gun

Let's say you used the minigun in single player and was looking forward to getting the level to use it in multiplayer, but the company goes and says"sorry not enough people use the gun so we are removing it" then you say"BUT MUH LEVEL IS TO LOW ALONG WITH OTHERS WHY NOT JUST LOWER DEH LEVEL?!?!"

Makes sense right?

Ok if that didn't work how about this:

You get the highest level in COD then prestige and lose all your shit. Nbd you can re unlock it.

COD goes and says"we are removing the highest level unlocks from the game because everyone just prestiges right away and never uses them anyways"

You complain "BUT WHY NOT JUST LOWER MUH LEVEL REQUIRMENTS" or "BUT PRESTIGE IS MUH LIFE AND I USE THOSE GUNS"

My point? Your excuse trying to invalidate us because we don't play a lot of Dominion ANYMORE (due to long q times, endless bots, lack of real care by riot, no ranked q they promised, lack of balance, knowing this might happen since they never released magma chamber which we were also promised) means we don't get to complain.

We damn well should be allowed to complain when they should be putting effort into it instead of taking the lazy way out.

"But don't you play SR Way mor anyways?" Yeah sure I do, does that mean I prefer it over dominion? FUCK NO

I only play SR because it's the only one without bots and some form of balance. Hell before they removed ranked teams this season I try and play ranked thread WAY more than ranked fives or solo duo. And I'd play a lot more Arams when it came out, but now I don't because riot refuses to address the "Aram champion only" accounts, making Aram not truly random anymore.

And if they remove Aram? Guess what? I'll be pissed to, I won't have played it much sure, but I'll still be LIVID

I think you misunderstand the issue here. Lack of interest = waste of resources.

They have attempted changes in the past to Dominion with the community not even acknowledging them. Since Dominion release I've only come across a few threads on it at all(I'm talking like 5-6 total in YEARS).

I remember the thread asking for ranked that got big. I remember the smaller threads of those who talked meta on it and had 30 mins ques because of their experience in it. I remember the tournament thread that died out. Then there was like 2 balance threads.

But... That was it.

Most of this community finds it very lacking and dull. Not because of poor balance. Not because of the outdated graphics. It was just a boring mode in general.

A company can't keep dumping resources into a project that isn't going to succeed.

The people who actually enjoyed dominion didn't "lose interest" it's always been there, but do to riots inability to be a decent company we knew dominion wouldn't be enjoyable because of the influx of IP farming bots and balance issues for the game mode.

Dominion was always a better gamemode than SR

SR is boring. What 20 minutes of farming lane then maybe 10 minutes of trying to get turrets or objectives? That's boring

You're right there was no loss of interest. There wasn't interest to begin with, aka lack of interest.

You're taking my words and using them for yourself. THERE WAS A HUGE INTEREST AND STILL IS. Nobody bothers anymore because they know despite our huge interest and love and want for different maps and gamemodes riot won't bother with them

A whole 0.5% interest.

Huge.

Arcade Andrew1 votes

That's the players who currently still play despite the faults. 0.5% doesn't represent the countless amounts of People who not only enjoy dominion, but enjoy the custom games they played on that map

Z Statistic1 votes

You're right. 0.8% is more representative.

There was virtually no interest from day one. It dropped like a rock just like 1v1 and 2v2 on HB did.

A lot of players not queueing because of the queue timers actually makes the timers longer. So the Dominion community defeated itself.

Did you even read the thread? I'm comparing Our whining to Your whining If Another Game did this

Kai Guy1 votes

I'd compare it more to like Halo removing oddball or capture the flag because people only want team slayer or Swat then a gun unlock. Just imo.

And I explained why it's the communities fault that Dominion gets removed.
