Why don't you like Dominion?

Rebonack·Jun 20, 2015·2 votes·701 views

Pretty simple question for those that have played Dominion and didn't enjoy it. What don't you like about the map? What turned you off to it? I'm asking these questions in the fleeting hope that I'll have something substantive to offer in the impossible event that Riot decides to remake/relaunch the map.

I'm pretty sure I've got most of the dislikes I've encountered in the poll, but if it's something else that isn't listed by all means let me know.

Blitzcrank Orianna (not the champions)

Riot doesn't seem to care about it, so why should I?

The que times. I have 10+ minute waits for games.

Don't play draft. Have to play blind.

Which then resulted in the problem of seeing

Kassadin, Khazix, Jayce, Fizz, Jax, Nidalee, Rammus

In 90% of the games.

And the utter joy of fighting Yorick/Soraka (pre rework) bot lane from time to time.

They did some good balance adjustments in the past to most of those on Dominion. Although there are still problem champions, it's not as bad as it once was. I rarely even see Kass anymore. Can't remember the last time I saw Kha'Zix.

You still get obscenely long queues in blind. Or at least I do. But maybe my MMR is just getting too high.

How would you guys feel if Riot replaced Dominion's two queues with Blind Draft? Would that help the picking issues?

That's what I have always wanted. But I have given up hope of Riot doing anything.

Spawn camping.

Spawn camping.

That one is a good point.

Back before Revive was picked up in high level play, games usually ended due to one team getting locked into their spawn area and five-capped. That could potentially be fixed, too, but it would require a rework of the map layout. Or, y'know, something more akin to the nifty Ascension teleportation system. Would need tweaking, of course.

Dominion's great. I don't play it for a few reasons though:

Queue times are ridiculously long
Bots all over the place
My teammates always believe that top is the only capture point on the entire map. They never GET IN THE FRINGING JUNGLE and the IGNORE BOT UNTIL THE END OF TIME, also, our Storm Shield just SITS THERE THE ENTIRE FRINGING GAME BECAUSE NOBODY WANTS TO MAN UP AND JUST FRINGING TAKE IT, meanwhile the enemy team is making perfect use of theirs

So yeah, the mode has left me a broken, bitter, fragile shell of my former self. Which is really saying a lot.
