Have things cooled off yet, ManWolf?

Hey dudes,

Maps team has been completely wrapped up in the SR update for a while now, but we haven't forgotten about you. As soon as things cool off a bit, I'll be devoting time to alt maps again. Looking forward to it!

Because some kind of update on what's going on would be pretty keen.

The Rito James™ spokesmouths really should stop making statements like that, because the community doesn't forget.

( looking at you for your boneheaded ARAM statements, LAT3NCY... )

How about our own board so we can actually discuss this further?

we have many threads on the Maps board discussing it. Putting all the dominion threads in a dominion board would just make it so people already interested in dominion will see it. At least, the way I look at it is that by having so much discussion here about it, people here for other reasons will see how badly we want something for dominion and possibly join the support.

We don't need a new board to discuss it, we need Riot involvement to discuss it.

What about a tag/filter system? By default, you see the whole board, so outside viewers could see a Dominion discussion and become interested. On the other hand, people looking specifically for Dominion info (like all of our old guides etc.) can apply a filter for the Dominion tag, and view all Dominion content together at once.

At the very least we could have the Blind and Draft queue's replaced with a single Blind Draft queue to stomp down the more toxic champion picks since Riot doesn't seem terribly interested in investing effort toward balancing Dominion at this point.

Yeah, I hate to play Blind Pick, but I cant wait 59:59+ for a round of draft-mode. I guess if Riot is genuinely concerned about queue times/splitting the playerbase (and not just using it as an excuse to continue their stance of "DO NOTHING AT ALL"), then Blind Draft is probably the best compromise.

What really baffles me is why Riot didn't do this ten months ago when Blind Draft was introduced along with URF. Several topics popped up pointing out that a single queue that lets us ban out the toxic avengers while still keeping the laid-back style of Blind would help the mode tremendously.

We got a 'we'll look into it' reply, followed by silence.

If Dominion can't support two queues to begin with, why the hell do we have two queues? Are we just trying to trap new players in an endless holding pattern and drive them away from the map?

See you on the Rift!

Probably.

By the power of item 3345, I bid you arise!

Man, I sure do love getting ignored to death. It's just the best.

Does anyone else who plays mostly the alternate maps feel like they're getting a giant middle finger every time they see:

See you on the Rift!

Because I know I do.

Seriously, though.

Could we have Blind and Draft replaced with a single Blind Draft queue? Riot has already said that Dominion's population isn't big enough for two queues, so why do we have two queues?
