Or just add URF back in as an actual game mode. I mean COME ON RIOT. Why has this not been done? Sometimes you just need to blow some steam off in an URF game. Bring it back! Or at least give a real reason to why it isnt a regular game mode
Welcome to "No".
Population: Your idea.
Don't like Dominion? Cool.
What to know what I don't like? Urf.
So, you can see where you and I will have to agree to disagree.
Only difference is that the one I play isn't actually going to get removed from play because it was intended to last forever. Not be a quick one off lark for the fun of it.
URF was fun, for the first few days. Then it was the same few OP champions every game and it lost all it's fun value. Now, stretch that out over a few months and see how long the "fun" lasts. Also, kinda fuck you for calling for the removal of Dominion. While it isn't super popular, there is a dedicated fan base who enjoy the mode, so why should they sacrifice a mode they find fun so you can get bored with a mode that has no long term staying power?
featured game modes arent permanent for a number of things: they keep the game fresh if they were permanent riot would have to balance around them which isnt fair to normal modes they are constantly working on the feartured game modes to alter it and make it "better" for us to play the next time it comes around
URF is so overrated. Most of these "bring back urf" people are simply fishing for attention, jumping on bandwagon
They don't want to balance specifically around urf. Last year some champs were banned by riot because of how powerful they were. Once you start seeing the same 10 champs every game the popularity will greatly fall off and they will have to balance around urf specifically so it doesn't become stale. Not including tt, dominion, or aram you already see how much trouble riot has balancing summoned rift alone. It would be too hard for them to balance around urf
It's not a permanent game mode because it was never meant to be. Featured game modes were meant to bring something fresh and new to the game for a short time, they rotate them in and out, so they can do work on them for the future. It will most likely be back next month, and again next year. You just have to live with that.
lmfao, who downvoted him... Dominion is so bad it shouldn't have ever been made.
Like im pretty sure the people who designed dominion got fired from Riot.
#ReplaceDominionWithURF2015
When something is restricted in some way, and you enjoy it, you try to value it in any way you can.
When it suddenly becomes free, most of it's value is gone. Also, some people will take it as seriously as ranked, which could be a really, REALLY bad thing. I would prefer everyone goes full damage and the fun times ensue, but some people think to build raid boss tank or kill-you-heal-all-damage builds, which makes it more irritating than fun.(in my opinion)
Basically people play or get something, for the most part, when it's released,and if it's kept many people will try to find the "pro way" to play it. When it's just there, being available, many people forget about it. It loses value, and people think to re-add that value by "finding the pro way" to win. For now, I believe URF should stay something for the April fools.
... unless Rito's improvement made it 2x better, in which case I would replace rift with URF.
I approve of this thread.
Or at least give a real reason to why it isnt a regular game mode
Because it was an april fools joke and there are people who actually play dominion...
here is my extremely insightful response: "stfu" seriously though im tired of you people whining for urf to come back
Twisted Treeline and Dominion are the reason that we don't have more alternative gamemodes.
These two game modes exist, but not only do they lack riot updates and balance, but they lack a sufficiently sized dedicated fan base.
I watched Dominion die, and I don't really want to have hopes and excitement, only to watch another mode suffer the same death.
To the people saying it was to bring something "Fresh" Stop. URF mode would be fun no matter what. Dominion is garbage. Aram is garbage. Urf mode was one of the few game modes that SHOULD have been a permanent option/ Riot truly does not care what it's player base wants. If URF mode was ALWAYS available to play the game probably wouldn't be so damn stale. They won't give us a real reason because they feel theyre better than us.
URF will always be valued if it stays as a temporal mode.
Just like when you buy limited edition stuff.
#RIOTMAKEURFMODEPERMANENT2015
Riot doesn't have a good reason. Both dominion and aram are "bad" because they don't want huge times waiting to find a normal-ranked match - I think this is their excuse
AMEN BROTHER! Who plays dominion? Actually, I'd rather have Twisted Treeline removed.
Really hope the map team is working on the Crystal Scar or at least in concept stage.
Having it permanent would ruin the game mode. People will eventually start playing the same champions over and over again to win instead of having fun which is what the mode is all about. Having it come once a year will make people relish it more instead of taking it for granted. It's also not like Dominion is that bad, I like playing it once in a while along with 3v3 when I'm bored of normals/ranked and aram.
Not that I don't love URF, but the problem is tha tpeople would never play normals or ranked again and URF would completely eclipse them.
But... Hide and seek wouldn't be there anymore :(
What is this "Dominion" you speak of? We have no such thing here on the OCE server. Urf got old real fast. I prefer the gamplay of Dominion back when I was on the NA server.
URF is fun, but I think if it was all year round it wouldn't be special anymore.
The closest thing to permanent I want URF to be is a Weekend only thing, or something similar. The fun and hilarity of the mode comes from how off it all is from regular play. But if it was something that was always here, it wouldn't have that novelty. It'd just be "Everybody is broken The Game."
Also. I like Dominion, it's fun to play from time to time. So uh. No. Let's not remove a game mode just because you don't like it.
Because it would get really old, really fast to play with the same top 10 champions when balance is targeted at standard SR and nothing is really directed towards permanent URF. It's actually the exact same reason Dominion isn't played anymore. Riot just doesn't really balance around it, so it gets stale and stays stale. If Riot put in a ranked mode for Dominion and actually gave it TLC even on half the scale of SR, I guarantee you it would be about 5 times as popular, and would start picking up even more attention from Riot because it would be AMAZING to have it be a real alternate game mode rather than a place to send bots. URF as a game mode is a fraction as interesting as Dominion, to be honest, because it is just suped up SR with broken champs being broken and accelerated gameplay, instead of an alternative game flow that actually has a completely different feel yet retains the core themes of LoL and MOBAs in general.
I don't play Dominion (mostly because I never get out of the matchmaking queue for ages), but If I had to choose between permanent URF and revitalizing Dominion, Dominion wins hands down.
sometimes i wish they had a rotating gamemode instead of 1 every 4 months for 2 weeks
