playing for 2 days now, always solo, winrate 80% +
cant see the problem atm.

bots are better then most of the players atm

but after release there should be a queque for groups and a different for soloplayers.

If you're solo you really shouldn't be playing dominion. There's dual and brawl. If you really want to play Dominion solo, do it with bots.

As of now a team that communicates is going to be unstoppable.

Not necessarily. They also need to be good. Most players have eyes and can see when the gank squads are a roaming. A simple text message to alert allies of the situation and pretty soon everyone on your team is sticking together. Just because you're playing solo doesn't mean you're unable to communicate with the team or follow orders when a situation goes south. It all really depends on if your team knows what they're doing.

I know my post doesn't really fit in here but I don't know where else to put it. I think there should be some kind of penalty for hitting your teammates. It has happened to me pretty often by now that even if it's just 2 of my team attacking the same enemy I block my enemys attack but then get hit in the back by my team member what gives my opponent a chance to hit me too. It's really enerving and with a slight penalty (3 sec revive delay or something ) one would raise the awareness of this. I know that it can happen when your fighting and really trying to finish the enemy but when it's to often...

I agree with you. This has happen to me way too many times. Often times I'd be facing an opponent and a teammate wou;d come rushing in to help but staggers me in the process. Very annoying.

Isnt that what Dominion AI is about? Sure you're cued with others on your team, but the AI is AI. Now going against an all AI team, they should have better tactics than just rushing B and spamming.

Not that you're concern isn't valid, I just think they already have a system to help with it.

Here's what happens in most cases I encountered. We face 2 or 3 man squads if not 4 and they just start butchering everyone. Team gets salty and start rage quitting and your left with bots and then how are you supposed to counter 3 players who are communicating. They do not have to be good either just have to have thumbs and spam attacks. I'm not saying you stand zero chance but the game is definitely not fun after that.

This is not a solution to the problem. That's just a way to avoid a huge flaw in the game. Not every player is going to be able to form a group in order to enjoy a game. Every player should get an equal chance at having fun the game they invested in.

As I already stated, just start sending friend requests to good players. It's not a flaw in the game that you don't know anybody that plays it. Branch out and make some friends, then you won't be playing solo. It's like some of you have never played a competitive multiplayer game before...

Fair enough. You send out friend requests and at the time of that you want to play nobody is on or maybe they don't feel like playing dominion. Let's say you get a friend and go into a lobby where you face a team of 4 then what? I see your point and I have made friends playing this game but sometimes they are just not available. You're telling me at that point there should be no other option but to give up on playing dominionall together? Wouldn't it make sense to have a solo queue option so everybody has an equal chance at having fun in the game they bought?

That's not been the majority of my experience but I can definitely understand how the game can stop being fun because of that. By all means a Solo matchmaking que would be great to alleviate such issues.

What more reason do you need to not be a "solo" player?
