Why does a new MOBA have more maps than league? League has been the top MOBA for awhile now and yet other MOBA's, while not outmatching them gameplay wise(at least in my experience) they sure as hell are beating league in quality.

DOTA I didn't really give a chance I just flat out didn't like it from the start. SMITE was nice I just don't like the gameplay of it. Both have more maps more modes etc. than league.

Honestly, give us the magma chamber or bring new maps for halloween/christmas etc. don't just recolor the rift. For a game that's on it's 5th halfway to 6th season you would think we'd have more..

The maps have different objectives. Having random maps that are played out different for the same mode is obviously not what Riot's intention for the game is. It'd be like showing up to a race in your indycar but they're like "We're going offroad today". That's not conducive to competitive gaming.

The way riot handles things online and bans people so easily yet does alomost nothing to the pros who talk smack nonstop, blizzard has alredy blown them away with this.. i dled it today and its much better in al categories that ive seen so far... true story

thats pretty much the selling point for heroes, because it lacks all other strategy. the strategy is to follow the map objective - collect coins or whatever depending on map and then the map wins the game for you instead of you working to take towers and stuff.

cuz there smaller maps and they had more time to make these maps plus these maps have themes to them there not just reskins on the same map the rift is huge with a large roster and 3 unique maps with unique game modes

It also has a replay feature, the ability to play as who you want (how many years did that take riot?), and so far, fewer 4v5s.

LoL's still my favorite, I just wish they'd finally add some of the features people have been wanting for years now.

I'd almost be scared of it.

Crystal Scar(Dominion) is like the ugly stepchild that no one wants to talk about. Hallowing Abyss(ARAM) gets looked at once in a while, although not usually for the best. Twisted Treeline(3v3) just got destroyed.

They put probably 95-99% of their map focus on SR. Their only Esport map(I didn't use competitive because dominion did have fan hosted tournaments).

Dominion would be fine if they just fixed it's simple problems then see if the bigger ones needed looked at.

Blind Draft. We've seen it a lot in featured modes. This is exactly what Dominion should have. If turning on ranked requires only a flip of a switch, why has this not been done? It was asked to Riot on the old forums with a response from a rioter that it'd be looked into. No response given. With a better way to queue up it could attract more players.
Point system. Remove it. It shows nothing on how to play the mode. Give us a new score board. (KDA, items, tower captures/assists).

These two alone would make it more new-player friendly.

DOTA has less maps than league.
