Bring Dominion back

mhDK··22 votes·9,930 views

Im getting tied of lol because it's allways the same playing ranked all the time. ARAM is not fun and 3v3 too. A good way for me to take a break from the ranked is dominion, i think that why there is so many players that quit because of the ranked game all the time, they are getting tied of it !

There is NO way they're gonna bring dominion back, no matter how much we want it. It was at least nice to have regular rotating game modes, but now they really don't even do that.

It would be nice if they can at least start rotating featured modes again, but MAN would I kill for a dominion relaunch.

They did that in the RGM (pre-UI update)! It's Definitely Not Dominion though. (>_>)

They didn't though, cuase 'Definitely Not Dominion' fully lived up to it's name....

Double entendre.

I am aware, and I thought it was okay. I did like that they took out the bot 1v1 that was kinda boring, but not all of the definitely not dominion features were good.

Would like to see a happy medium between the two.

I liked the bot lane, personally. Removing the bot towers is part of what made DnD feel . . . Simplified.

I wouldn't mind a return of the bottom lane, personally. But I do remember getting into many games where none of the five people would want to play bottom, so it would be nice if maybe you could cue for top, bottom, or fill if it were to make a return to that system. That way no one is doing anything they don't want to be doing.

Why doesn't Riot just allow the map in customs? The queue times and playerbase/botting aren't a problem then and they don't have to worry about balance.

Ariel the Cruel2 votes

They've covered this.

  1. They don't want to pull from other healthy modes.
  2. They would have to spend resources maintaining the map.
  3. They would have to spend resources ensuring all champions (present and future) are functional (not balanced) on that map.

It's more work than they're willing to put in too a game mode they're unwilling to support.

If they offered a pay to play mode where they make more money, then that cost for the resources would cover it. I don't see what the problem is.

Riot built the game up on a free-too-play model. I can only imagine the shit storm DLC exclusions would create. (>_>)

The free version is Summoners Rift. The game as a whole would still be free to play. They said the main game revolves around Summoners Rift anyway. So let it be. Dominion could be the exclusive version. They already monetize a lot of the missions and rewards and accessories anyway. I don't think its too far fetched.

Ariel the Cruel1 votes

From a business standpoint, it's not too far fetched. From a PR standpoint, it's asking for trouble. Especially with piece-meal monetization schemes still under fire.

Who cares. Since when does Riot care what anyone thinks. Look at all the other gameplay changes since Dominion was removed. I would argue that removing Dominion was a worse PR move than adding it back under a payed subscription.

Ya..... Salt does not a good discussion make. Have fun with your beliefs.

We'll have to wait until Riot can find a way to sell skins off of it

Riot doesn't seem to understand that casual players enjoy this game as well and would rather see it die a slow death than bring back some map/game mode diversity.

RGM simply isn't enough and not everyone cares about ranked SR/3v3.

Ariel the Cruel2 votes

I prefer ARAM and 3v3 over SR these days, and never play ranked besides. I miss Dominate Dominion though (Even if I was trash).

I think Ascension is just Dominion but wayyyyy better. Lets just ad that next to ARAM in the play now tab

Ariel the Cruel1 votes

Ascension is more "Call of Duty" than Dominion's "King of the hill." They both have their strong points, but the control game was a major aspect of dominion that Ascension doesn't have.

webstar19951 votes

What do you mean?! Ascension is all about controlling the points. You want to have your team controlling at least 2 of them at all times. Kills are 1 points. Objectives are 3. Getting ascended is easy if you control the points.

Ariel the Cruel1 votes

In Dominion, you capture a point than have to actively hold it to generate value. Leaving any point unguarded can lead to back-captures. In Ascension, you capture a point then rotate to another one while it re-spawns. If the relic spawns are staggered, you can theoretically 5-man roam almost the entire game.

I like Ascension, but the strategic play is drastically water-down compared to dominion.

At the points have the same timers. So if you go around as 5 you kill the other team. which means they get to buy. which means you cannot kill them if you want to win. The only strat that wins 100% of the time takes forever and is boring. Mundo, Garen, Malphite, Mao, and Trundle. You do not ever kill the enemy team and after a few deaths you are unkillable. The enemy either gives up for slowly loses. It works because a team with no items straight up cannot kill a full build Mundo/Garen espesially and they run away and heal.
