Can We Get URF To Replace The Dominion Queue?

Riot wanted dominion to be a new game mode that everyone would play, that didn't work, so why not replace it with URF? Because everyone loves URF.

would you rather have chocolate cake once every month, or one every day?

sure it'd be good at the beginning cause chocolate cake everyday, but it'd get boring eventually and you would stop eating it so much

Dominion was reasonably balanced despite the lack of regular Riot support. URF historically hasn't managed to go two weeks without people pointing out the balance issues. How would it manage to last even a year?

There's also target audience to consider. A significant factor in Dominion's lack of popularity was the mismatch between competitive gameplay with the casual queue. URF appeals to casual play, but so does ARAM. ARAM's also less stagnant, if only due to the randomness minimizing any champs that appear in game after game after game. URF might be fun for a while, but fans of SR's gameplay would eventually go back to SR while casual players would, at best, be split between URF and ARAM.

Dominion was reasonably balanced

Please just stop right there.

I quit playing Dominion after I had 7 losses in a row of a trio premade of Shaco, Zilean, and Tryndamere.

I have never experienced something more agonizingly frustrating. And just a few months later, Dominion got deleted. So I definitely wasn't missing out on anything.

It was never even remotely balanced; don't even try to argue that fact.

They outplayed you, so the mode must be hideously unbalanced? How is it different from losing repeatedly in any other game mode?

Those champs could certainly be annoying, but that's not really specific to Dominion.
