Use achievements to increase Dominion's player base?

Riot's struggling a bit to get players to try Dominion again, especially now that the map's more balanced with the map specific champion nerfs. A lot of people usually argue introducing ranked would help, but RiotNome pointed out a while ago that only a small fraction of LoL's player base actually plays ranked.

So here's an idea to get more regulars to try the map more: Introduce achievements. You could have:

  • Play a match of Dominion
  • Win 10 straight matches of Dominion
  • Get X points on Dominion

etc etc. Obviously, there could be other achievements for other maps. I think this would be a pretty great way to pull people into the mode, and get them to pay attention to strategy (especially for achievements related to win streaks)

Honestly, I'm not really sure how this would work. If you introduced achievements, I think it would change the overall way that League is played. It isn't an achievements sort of game. I definitely think that Dominion is a great idea. It's kind of fun, but not a lot of people play it. You're right- it does deserve more players. I just don't know if achievements is the best way to do it though.
