10v10 is not a game mode from what I used to hear.

From what I herd a while back it was suppose to be MOTD not a game mode.

Sad if that's true; I think domination could be a fun game mode with just a little tweaking. I stopped playing it because the respawn timers create a meta that I just don't like. No game mode should reward the team being behind at the 75% mark and give them the better chance to win. Giving the losing team some kind of chance is nice, but you get punished too hard for being the better team. In a good game, the difference in skill level is nowhere near a 1 second respawn against a 60 second respawn for a few tickets.

I'd like to see the actual formula on how respawns work, but it feels like most games are decided around 100-150 tickets left when the losing team gets a few insta-respawns in a row and wipes the winning team since there's no time to back between fights/they're one or two players down from the first fight, leaving them with a free three-cap as they wait a minute to respawn. Now the team that was down 50 is going to be tied with all three towers just needing to defend to win.

Yeah I actually hadn't noticed that difference until one game where I had to wait 50 seconds to respawn at under 10 minutes. Of course at the time I thought that was cool because we were 200 tickets ahead. But that is a bit overwhelming, and could certainly use some tweaking.

Anyway, just pwned my friend with a team of FEAR rattatas. Revenge accomplished. >:D

That's sad .I like Domination a lot , it's pretty underrated and it's so much cooler than Conquest or Assault in my opinion .I don't see why one has to remove a game mode in order to add another one ...

well, if you split the population of a game too much, you start having lots of trouble with people finding matches. large population means large turn over for a match type, meaning you're almost guarunteed to get in. Having 6 solid modes to play games in is already a good amount (I'm not counting pre-made and MOTD) It would be cool if they switched what game modes there were every two weeks, or once a week had a specials rules day where one extra stupid rule is added for fun (like no physical, no mage, no tank, etc.) though.
