So the purpose of Dominion is to take control of sections of the battlefield and hold them down. However, many players seem content to just run around like insane aimless waterfowl. I get it, the other team sucks and feels they need to gang up in order to take a location but dude, there's four of us and three locations, two people hold one down at least. I hate that I'm the only guy worrying about holding a spot so that we can reap the boost benefit as I watch my teammates run around crazily and being slaughtered. Stand and hold. STAND AND HOLD.
Why are people so concerned about killing and not about winning the game?

Im sure the 'kill 300 soldiers' order isnt helping people from mindless swiping at the waves of incoming cannon fodder but this is the first time many people are playing this game and sadly, many people jump in head first without any care to learn anything about the gamemode or characters.Originally Posted by PASTE-POT-PETE Go to original post
"Pshh.. Im like good at games and stuff. Who needs instructions. Movesets? Im just going to spam 2 attacks. This is going to be easy. OMG! I WAS KINDA ALMOST WINNING THAT 1v1 inside the enemy's spawn while they held all 3 points and then they had to gang up on me just to win! The game is dumb! I demand everyone but me be nerfed!"
^what I imagine goes on inside half my teams head.

The problem I have run into with guarding a point is when i try to do that my team will loose the other two points. Im not saying everytime but most times that does seem to be the case unless I'm running with some friends, then of course we've played this type "control" game many time before and we already know who our rushers are, who our tanks our, ect...my advice is run with some friends lol

Well, one problem is that the scoring system in this game is WONKED. Seriously you can get + 15 through like + 45 for killing an enemy player but you get + 3 for assist no matter how much damage you did. I mean, you get + 2 for killing a frigin AI minion but doing 80% of a player's hp is worth 3? Next, you only get like + 5 for capturing a point AKA THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE GAMEMODE. You're telling me capping a point is only worth 2 and 1/2 minion kills? The scoring system is so wonked that half the time my scoresheet looks like 12 takedowns, 10 obj captures, 2 deaths, = 180 points. top kek. Of course nobody is going to afk on A objective gaining 0 renown and just waiting for the enemy to show up. That's boring as hell! I mean, if you gained a ton of renown from guarding a point, (As you should since not only are you defending it from the enemy you're increasing its value 2x,) more people would do it, but instead you just look like a scrub who has like 1 obj cap and 2 kills since half the time you guard the point the enemy just abandons it and then you lose anyway because the other team just wrecks your team 4v3 and takes B and the other point.

I guard objectives just fine, get a healthy amount of takedowns and still typically score the top amount of points on the team. If you are spawning C and you sit down on C while you watch your teammates struggle to take A... then yes. Its boring and you will be rushed by a handful of guys in about 30 seconds.Originally Posted by Bantarific Go to original post
You spawn A. Take A, rush the long way to C to give it time to clear out, Take C... and now a majority of the time when a enemy dies he is going to rush to the closest path to C which is normally a chokepoint. Dont just sit and wait for him to meet up with you, rush out and ambush him. Take him down and retreat back to the overlook and call out where the enemy is moving for your team. When an enemy dies, keep an eye on your back to catch him in the chokepoint again. If I see a person about to get ganked close by, ditch the objective to go help him out and we both retreat back the the objective to retake it or heal up.
Different characters gain more renown in different ways. Play towards the strength of your hero and work as a team. If you are a Heavy attempting to roam/gank/frag the whole game then you are more than likely going to have alot of people just outrun you. If you are in assassin and you are sitting on an objective while watching your teammates to struggle... your eventually going to get double teamed, pinned, and wiped.
