Riot, Do you think you succeeded in remaking Dominion

Most Players said "Dominion is not fun. Because we just keep pushing/defending top."

Riot "We promote that play to remake it."

I think this is completely ridiculous.

Only a few veteran Dominion players know that was good gamemode to enjoy "rotations". 99.5% players disliked "boring rushing top gamemode", not "rotations gamemode". And "rushing top" playstyle is promoted in "Definitely Not Dominion".

I think this is completely ridiculous.

As the fact, Original Dominion was too difficult for most players to enjoy as "rotations gamemode". Then you should change it to gamemode that is easy to enjoy rotations. Instead of doing it, you remained the most hated part of Dominion and removed other parts.

I think this is completely ridiculous.

I think you failed in remaking Dominion. Riot, please tell me your opinion.

The other common complaint was "Team Deathmatch wasn't fun." Which also didn't reflect proper Dominion gameplay.

It's hard to make it easy to enjoy rotations because rotations are a tough idea to grasp. Laning? Either kill your opponent or push harder than him. Teamfighting? Kill the enemy team. They're both simple and straightforward. Roaming's much more nebulous and confusing. Do you join your team or split off? Go for Objective A or Objective B? There often isn't a clear answer, especially in the heat of the moment.

It might be possible to show the general League playerbase how to properly play Dominion so that they know why Dom's appealing. However, it'd require spending promotional resources (e.g. tournaments) on something besides SR, and Riot's seemingly deathly opposed to that.
