Dominion Removal

So I know most people couldn't care less about Dominion being removed, and I don't care all too much either, other than there were fun user-created gamemodes that I could fool around in every once in a while. When I was reading about the removal of Dominion, it seemed that it was mostly because of the matchmaking and having its own queue. Now I'm not asking for Rito to bring back Dominion or anything, but would it be a problem to keep it as an option in custom games? That way people can still play it, user created gamemodes, etc, with friends and/or randoms. And, since you don't get xp/ip in custom games (Or very few IF it's a real game with 5 players on each team), nobody will have to worry about bot users (As I can imagine it being difficult to program bots to automatically join a legit Dominion game in custom that has 10 players).

tl;dr There shouldn't be any problem keeping Dominion as an option in custom games because no xp, ip, bot users, and people can continue playing it, or user-created gamemodes on that map.

In a long list of still unfulfilled promised features dating years back, removing features like Dominion seems like a bad direction to take the game in.

If Riot's claims of active population numbers are true...ish then that 0.5% they claim make up regular Dominion players is close to half a million players. Seems a bit rash to completely remove a game mode that "ONLY" half a million people are playing.

Fun fact: Bots actually used to stick to customs, out of sight of most players. They didn't start showing up in Co-Op and then PvP queues until Riot reduced the XP/IP rewards for custom games.

I mean, I don't give a shit either way, but they could do it. I don't see why it would be difficult.
