It's a pvp mode, that makes is serious business. If you wanna screw around go play bots.

I only play for fun. But unlike you, my idea of fun includes winning. And I suspect most people who play any game mode vs other players would like to win if they can.

If you want to screw around, go play a bot game. Don't screw up the game for 9 other people and then think that you're entitled to whine and moan about how people think you're anti-fun for them on a forum and expect to get a great reception. You won't.

Soooo..... this mode's purpose has totally flown right past you guys.
Wow. Are you the guys that insta-lock Kha'zix and afk if we lose windmill?

*sigh*
I can repeat the same arguments and points that we've been throwing around for months. But clearly this isn't getting a message across.

Imagine if Riot decided to disable Ranked in every queue for just one week. Say that this happened on Spring Break and you really wanted to play League of Legends during your break. But since there is no ranked mode, you have to queue in normal.

How would you feel if someone on your team decided to go jungle Morgana and trolled the entire game? Chances are you would probably get pissed at that person and rage. Then that jungle Morgana goes "Dude, it's just normal queue, stop being a tryhard." In your head, you are not a tryhard, you are a player that just wants to play a good game but that one troll is ruining the experience for everyone.

For one entire week, you had to deal with a troll like this in every game. Each and every time the person's response for trolling is "it's just normal queue, stop being a tryhard." Wouldn't you get frustrated after awhile?

This is what Dominion players feel. Yes, the game is about having fun. Sometimes a little trolling every now and then is funny. But when it happens constantly, we get pissed. We don't have the luxury of ranked. We won't get ranked until the population grows. The population won't grow until people start to take Dominion seriously.

I am not asking you to suddenly take Dominion seriously. What I am asking you to do is understand how others feel and understand that it frustrates others when they feel that you are ruining their game. I don't mind losing, what I do mind is the attitude you have entering in a game.

As for your two conditions for winning...well, I can name a few players off the top of my head who could take a team of "inferior" champions vs. a random team filled with OP champs.

No, but you're probably the only person here whose idea of "fun" is losing pointlessly.

I'm like you. Except that i might still do weird builds/ champions, but i'll still try to win with them.

I fricken love FDru.

Personally, my idea of fun is to have a good match. Sure, winning is always great, but winning by steamrolling isn't always. Furthermore, winning because of an afker or bug or whatever isn't fun. Same for losing because of problems or being steamrolled.
I play to win, but my fun doesn't stop to a simple win. If the other team had a dc at start, I prefer to ask my team to give back their bot and mid if its still early once the last person comes back. I prefer a fair (or closest to fair) as possible. This is a 10 player game, not a single player experience. I like it when both teams had a good time, it leaves a feel good feeling.

I don't mind losing if it was a good game/close game. I don't care which champ is picked by whom. I do care about ragers, leavers and generally unfriendly/rude folks. I tend to mute them quite quickly if they are toxic.

I play for fun and troll, but I do it within reason that still gives me a good chance of winning.
