as a person who mains Dominion, what in the F***...... only map that really has any true freedom on it

ARAM

  • aram is now full of accounts just for that game mode
  • stuck in one lane
  • cant earn mastery points
  • know who's going to win before the game starts about 90% of the time
  • about 3/10 games have afk/ip trolls
  • easiest map to win a 4v5 on as a person who owns every champ, it gets harder to win. always getting out rolled, nothing like playing vs Varus 5 games in a row people should only be able to aram if they own at least 5 champs of each type people who own every champ should be able to get 2 re-rolls every game people who own around 80 should get 1 re-roll every game

Treeline

  • only a small handful of champs get played
  • can really only win by having a jungle, top, and a bot.
  • able to swap lanes
  • only 2 other players, so more of a chance for you to carry
  • cant earn mastery points
  • can lose to an all ATK damage team
  • have AFK and still win
  • the entire point of this map was to stop people from jumping the walls, now only a select few can. made those few champs insanely annoying. RekSai Kassadin Tristana Bard

Rift

  • it feels like this map has been in beta for the last 3 years
  • get cursed out for trying a champ that is not considered top tier
  • play for half a year and memorize everything that works in the jungle and what items are best on champs, everything gets changed....
  • earn a mastery taunt that some people spend 25% of the game jerking the key
  • stuck playing VS your counter, lets make the next 30 mins of your life feel like shit
  • you can tell who's gonna win before the game starts about 75% of the time, and almost always right
  • one lane feeds and you know its over
  • able to fully build champs
  • can earn mastery points
  • dragon +6v6, changes the entire game
  • this map has changed more than caitlyn jenner gave up on this map ages ago, only came back to get gold in ranked. can still win 4v5, hardest map to do it on best game won a 3v5. afk's suck, but when a person feeds....its over if they had kept 6v6, would still play only one of the game modes that is balanced, sure you have Karthus and Soraka. could tweak them a bit as well as a few other champs that have global ults. the amount of freedom in 6v6 was insane and game changing. 2 jungler's, 2 groups of atk carry/support, 2 mages middle, 3 in one lane. for rift everybody's got in the same mindset, 1 jungle, 1 middle, 1 top, and 2 bot. why doesn't anybody go support and atk carry top, and so one. before they buffed the jungle would play with my friends, 2 top, 2 bot, and me in the middle. Malzahar or Heimerdinger and take most of the jungle and still be able to hold middle, what i didn't take would go to top or bot lanes. would almost never get kills in lane early game, but would have a 3 to 5 lvl on them. would push middle, take tower, and swap with bot being able to 1v2 the lane. worked great for a year. all the other player in my group have quit since then, don't know why im still here.

Dominion

  • build what ever you wanted
  • go where ever you wanted
  • revive
  • able to not get a single kill and still win
  • nice place to test out new champs
  • lvl 3 start
  • can switch up lanes when ever
  • games tend to be short
  • played every champ on it at least once
  • have a player troll and still being able to win
  • lose and still have way more kills than deaths, personal win
  • most games end before you can fully build a champ, a small increase in gold would be nice
  • cant earn mastery points
  • map has stayed almost the same since its release over 2000 games 31569 Takedowns 15166 Points Captured

Dominion is getting retired because hardly anyone plays it, and it's a cesspit of bots.

Fewer people play dominion, so Riot doesn't have much reason to support it. Because Riot isn't supporting dominion, fewer people play it, and the downward spiral continues.

Although it is all you personally play, it has a very small playerbase compared to the other gamemodes. I would assume they will be getting rid of it and potentially creating another game mode they hope will attract more players. I am sorry for the retiring of your favorite mode, but hopefully it will lead to a n even more interesting and fun game mode.
