1450 Wins in Dominion - this is all I play

As a father with wife and child, I have not played Summoner's Rift for about 3 years now. I log in almost daily for a quick Dominion game or two, knowing that i have only about 15 minutes of uninterrupted gaming time at once.

This is stupid, I will stop playing LoL and switch to Smite's Joust Mode, it's the only thing that is casual like Dominion left for me at this point.

You should've asked for community feedback before making this decision

I can feel you mate!..

1,5k games played in ARAM. With winrate 50,6~%. I don't even remember how SR looks like.

Once Riot removes ARAM I'll cry buckets of tears

I'm holding out hope that Riot may add a new queue to Rift that imports a few mechanics from Dominion for the purpose of speeding up games and minimizing the lane phase. The game really needs a 15-25 minute mode.

Dominion was never enabled on OCE server. Haven't played Dominion since mid-way through Season 3 (when I transferred to OCE). Never got to Diamond wins :L

Even with feedback from the community, it's, what, 1% of the population that regularly plays Dominion? That wouldn't have changed the decision because hardly anyone would have voted in favor of keeping it. Most people don't care.

And you talk about Smite when they did the same thing. Joust isn't comparable to Dominion. Domination was Smite's Dominion and they deleted it for the same reasons Riot did. Now, I was one of the players who regularly played Domination, and it was my favorite mode by far, and I and players like me were upset and made posts... To this day, you'll occasionally see a post about how they should bring it back (usually in the form of a YouTube #remember sort of comment). But the vast majority of Smite players don't care at all, and even the majority of those who used to care have gotten well over it.

You'll get over it, too. It sucks, but it's not the end of the world. You said you were a father, so act like an adult and stop whining and calling things "stupid" and threatening to leave over a decision you don't like. Give an actual argument for it. It's really not a mode that was worth keeping active, even if something like 10% of the population played it. That's just the long and sort of it. Sorry. :|

I understand what you mean but the community for dominion is so small and it delayed so much progress for Riot since they had to fix bugs and balance based of that game mode as well, which would stunt the progress that could have been for the overwhelming majority of players that don't play dominion.

Dominion is lame anyways. Good riddance

Joust is fun, but arena is also really short matches that could be similar to what you want.

Does anybody know if it will still show our wins in a lobby and keep our dominion wins available to see?! I have 1449 dom wins!! I'm literally depressed seeing them disable it. :(
