Ascension to me was a very good game mode. I can see it replacing dominion as it made a player Ascend to be bigger and stronger and feel more like a boss fight. It isn't as crazy fun as URF is, but it has more balance towards fun and competitive.
Ascension was my favorite game mode! as taboo as it is to say it, i liked it a lot more than i liked URF. it actually felt like a mode some thought was put into, not just, "here spam your spells have fun" I would love if it were added as a permanent mode, but I am definitely against removing dominion. it's true there aren't as many people who play it, but there ARE still players who enjoy it. I play it occasionally myself, and would play it more if the queues weren't so long..
I'm still trying to figure out why dominion is taking up server space.
Any particular reason you prefer Ascension over Dominion? Dom has much more strategic depth than Ascension does, though, admittedly, the Xerath buff is more satisfying than the Storm Relic buff.
Maybe revamp / combine Dominion with Ascension. Have cap towers, relic collection and the giant Xerath in the middle. Go crazy: have a super version of the storm relics near the giant Xerath, but have attempting to collect it will aggro the guy. Just tossing some ideas out.
Ascension was more boring than dominion for god's sake
