Ancient recall model, damn check.

At least one bot every match, CHEEEECK!

Improved map. Nope looks like crap, how old is this map? Alpha version?

In the special game mode, crystal scar was improved with the sand in order to give us a better time to have fun. Has it NOT occurred to ANY Rioters, that the original Crystal Scar is still using the oldest recall model that exists on League? That there was bots thst makes us avoid the game mode like the plauge?

Fix your damn game.

I love Dominion and it's unfortunate that you get stuck with so many bots. Although its decreased, I agree as it's about one or two every game. Reworking the game mode would get more people back into playing the game too, I don't play it as much as I used to, but I remember that I'd literally have the same people from my previous games in multiple of my next matches. Sometimes they were friendly and it was a lot of fun, but if it so happened that everybody was toxic because of having half the team consist of bots, the game really fell apart.

Telling a business not to focus on profit is asking them to consider failing. You might as well say, "hey, how would you like your business to fail? Try this then!"

I get your sentiment, because you love Dominion and it's outdated. It's a shame when a game you really like suffers. That sucks. But the reality is, most players don't like Dominion. I'm one of those players. I have played one game of dominion, didn't like it, and never looked at it again. That's probably how most players are, if I had to guess, based on Riot's lack of interest in that game mode.

It's difficult to balance an entirely different game mode for champions that are balanced around something else first. Riot would have to dedicate a lot of resources to that, and they likely wouldn't recuperate them. It's, at best, a pretty huge risk, and as a consumer, you can't blame Riot for not taking that risk.

In other words, your rage is misplaced, and your words won't convince a business to do what you want. What you could do instead, is to direct your efforts, in a more positive way, to guys like me. Instead of raging at Riot on the boards, post exciting game clips from Dominion and try to get people to go play it. I could be swayed that way, perhaps, but seeing posts like this makes me want to avoid Dominion. Toxicity isn't going to get you what you want, no matter who you talk to.
