Everyone who enjoys Twisted Treeline, enjoy it while it lasts.

Changes include another lane, the addition of another epic monster, and the removal of altars. Well shit that's just SR. Might as well not even bother than.

At first I laughed at this, then I died a little bit inside because I play 3s a lot. :(

Dominion didn't take any money to maintain.

Can't use servers as an excuse, since a game of Dominion is exactly the same as a game on SR as far as that goes. It just loads a different map-file. The servers that host the games are not exclusive to certain modes.

Saying its not worth saving the files is moot because it does not take much data to hold it, and they keep it around for DND anyway.

The people paid to balance it? Lol. They just didn't do their job. Riot could fire them and we could keep Dominion. Win-win.

Giving it a visual update to be 'up to standard'? Well, considering people would rather have it than not, having it is a better option. They don't have to update it, and if they did, it wouldn't take an exorbitant amount of money to solve. Hell, they could probably make it a 'community creation' type deal where people volunteer to do it.

Queue detracts from SR player pool? Make it a custom game only. Most people used it for hide-and-seek and other games.

Bots overwhelming the Queue? See above.

Riot will get rid of it when it is no longer worth the money to maintain. That's how a company works.

And people will start filtering out like they do in so many other games with companys that make that decision, and then they start making no money at all. You remove one thing a small group likes, they leave, and you do it a few more times, and more leave. It is a domino effect that takes time to see, but it has happened to so many good games, and by the time the company notices, it is too late.

They already removed:

• Dominion
• The Option for Solo Queue
• Team Builder
• Ranked 5s teams

That isn't even counting holiday events and so on.

If this game was nothing but Summoner's Rift and ARAM, then this game would get real friggin boring, and it is already hitting that spot after years of playing, and all the negative changes they've made this season (for me personally, not speaking for some imaginary majority with this last paragraph).

And that's how you piss off a playerbase and have people quit, including myself.

I think this is sort of what they were talking about, though.

It's clear that resources aren't being used on TT, so it's likely that just hosting the map as an option is probably a limited time deal at this point.

Its not super snowbally, i have played over 60 minute games on TT frequently, there is NO meta, which is amazing, it has got almost all items updated and current to fit the map, except qss which still removes all debuffs >:D

Even if not a team. One guy keeping an eye on Treeline would put the map in an infinitely better state. It's pretty much a fact that literally no one at Riot gives any real consideration to Treeline until people complain.

Which saddens me quite a bit because its a much more fluid and dynamic map than SR in my opinion. It honestly just feels more fun often times, and can be good for helping you communicate better with friends.

Thank god 3's isn't leaving, its practically all i play xD

Won't happen. Not only are you misquoting riot on purpose for the sake of a straw man, but there are other direct logical statements about this that contradict you. For one, the number of players who play 3s has consistently been over triple that of dominion. Queue times for 3s never surpassed three minutes or so on average in all my years on the mode (and I have over a thousands 3s games). There has been for many years a ranked teams competitive atmosphere on twisted treeline and though it is temporarily not there at the moment I fully expect a dynamic queue version to return in the future (possibly involving clubs).

Additionally rioters have stated that they found the game mode to be healthier in terms of meta and require less extreme balancing measures and technical testing than dominion since it functions as a mini summoners rift instead of a totally different node capture based game mode.

3s isn't going anywhere,

Um I have ten min queues for treeline

" Queue times for 3s never surpassed three minutes or so on average in all my years on the mode (and I have over a thousands 3s games)."

Jesus, I need your luck. My average waiting times in 3's ranges from 5-20 minutes before I find one match.

Not the best way to say it, but true xD

0.5% of a million players is still 5000 players. That's more people than lotta indie games out there.

I don't know the numbers on tree line but they announced 0.5% of players played dominion.

Why the hell would they continue to support that?

Because variety is nice, and people prefer having a choice of variety, even if they don't take that choice EVERY time. Having NO variety is annoying, and is makes things kind of boring quite frankly.

I'd rather have say, Twisted Treeline there as an OPTION to play, then have only Summoner's Rift and no other maps and modes at all.

1 in 100 of my games aren't Summoner's Rift (I'd say it is closer to 10 realistically, but I can't be bothered to go look for sure, so betting low). So I guess that is reason enough to just delete them completely so I won't have the option to ever do them again?

and aram. we were told we'd get it like 3 months ago ;;

Wasn't the old jungle worse because it had random camps? Meaning your clear could be devastated purely because the "wrong" camps spawned?

You also seem to be ignoring that period when double Mage was common. Or when Marksmen+Support was fairly standard. Bruisers are certainly the easiest to play, but it's not like they've always reigned uncontested on new TT.

Normally always play an adc or assassin on TT and still do good, There IS NO META. :)

Ranked Twisted Treeline is dead, Normal Twisted Treeline is over run by bots. It's coming.

the bot problem is pretty much gone i haven't had one in quite a while

TT ranked still exists.
