Summoners Rift wasn't an ideal environment for Hexakill because of the strict meta. But Dominion was meant to be the fun fast-paced game mode. But why stop at 6v6, it could be 7v7 or 8v8. If Riot really emphasized its chaotic fun nature, people might actually play it.
JackAqua3 votesI actually do like this idea.
I think Dominion is getting a VU soon with the rework of the Shurima's desert theme, similar to the Freljord rework and the Howling abyss.
And while Howling Abyss was introduced ARAM was made an official game mode, so they could rework Dominion just as well. Make it more chaotic, more fun :D
Sir ArmaMalum1 votesA VU like that may get me to play Dominion as much as SR......much want
exec32 votesSource? Last I heard they wanted to do a remake of the mode which depending on how comprehensive the changes were would require a TT level relaunch. This remake is a long while off though as the Dominion team needed resources to work on it which I assume they're referring to the environment art team who are working on SR's VU atm.
AbiwonKenabi1 votesI dunno, I'd think this would be the LAST map they VU. It's the least old by far and still looks pretty good. SR is probably first.
exec32 votesI think that 6v6 just generally isn't enough of a change from 5v5 to make an interesting and genuinely different play experience regardless of the map. Twisted Treeline however I would very much like to see get Hexakill, it's effectively doubling the players so fights should be crazy and the play experience should be very different.
I do feel that Riot really needs to do featured game modes for Twisted Treeline and Dominion, that would help give the modes some vision.
an actual dog1 votesTT is still based on laning and pushing which is at odds with the chaotic fun experience that something like Hexakill is supposed to be.
exec31 votesI disagree. While pushing is still the main objective there's still plenty of teamfights to be had especially over the Altars plus you're forgetting that the small size of the map will cause a lot of engagements when people inevitably meet.
I really think that 6v6 Dominion won't be much different than 5v5 just like was the case in SR but in TT your player count is effectively doubled so i'd expect things to be really different.
Not saying there shouldn't be Hexakill Dominion (frankly I was really annoyed that you couldn't Hexakill all the different maps in custom like you could All for One), I just think it'd be better in TT.
LeeDark1 votesThe ambient gold and exp of Dominion makes it clearly the best game mode for increasing the number of players. TT with more people would just slow down tremendously. Sure, there would be more fights and skirmishes, but the champions wouldn't be at a high enough power level to make them interesting.
exec31 votesI agree that more gold/exp generation is needed but Riot could easily add that into Hexakill as part of the game mode. My point still stands that I don't feel Dominion 6v6 would play much differently from 5v5 just like it didn't for SR.
Sir ArmaMalum1 votesYou brig up a very good point sir, and I would love to see Hex in dominion.
Not more than that though, a fun fact (sorry for repitition if you already knew) but LoL actually started as a 6v6 game in it's toddler stage. But they moved to five because teamfights proved so bursty there were people that literally could do nothing to affect the outcome even if they were playing well. So moving too far means too much power capacity for certain comps that could result in very very not-fun gameplay.
Letler1 votesHonestly I think Dominion should be the most flexible in terms of team sizes because, why not?? Dominion is in a weak spot this could spice it up.
AbiwonKenabi1 votesNot sure if Hexakill is the one, but I definitely wouldn't mind seeing some kind of featured game mode for Dominion. :)
