To Gank or not to Gank? That is the question,,, | Forums

Gank, for sure

Because
a) time is points, and they are taking too long, which could cost you the win
b) he might lose, then you are a man down, even if only briefly
c) even worse, he could lose and the enemy turn on you, get Revenge and cut your head off
d) every second delayed increases the chance that one of the enemys team mates will show up, turning the tide
e) my definition of honour is not to stand by and idly watch as a comrade gets killed

Compared to reasons why not
a) Revenge

The whole thing about whether or not he will be upset that you helped in a 4 vs 4 team mode shouldn't even come into it imho. Not a consideration.

I hate people who stand and watch when I could obviously use a hand. Dominion is no place for courtesy and etiquette and bowing.

In Dominion you shouldn't hesitate. Time is of the essence,kill and finish as many opponents as you can and only fight on objectives, you need your opponents dead and your allies alive. Therefore, gank.

I can add to the gank vote, I main peacekeeper, if I am in that situation and it doesn't look like it is ending soon, especially if i have stealth active so there is less warning, I am forward dashing a knife into the opponent's back and not thinking twice about it, occasionally it goes wrong but in that situation, more often than not it gets the kill and the zone.

securing kills for the honor of your team (and KDA)

The fact that your even confused about what you should do just shows how messed up parts of this community are with trying to impose their own ruleset over the preexisting game rules. Anyone whines at you about honor in a team match-you tell that weenie to go play duel mode. I notice a teammate just standing there watching while I'm fighting? I'll smack that teammate right in the face with a zone attack(while still fighting my opponent) and tell him if he wants to watch a show he's got to buy a ticket first. They're team modes and they're supposed to be played as a team, with your team. The only considerations I ever make is if the teammate in question is hunting kills/executions for orders, in which case I'll just GB the guy he's fighting. Does this mean I don't "measure up" in some people's definition of honor? I say piss on their honor. If they didn't want teammates to help eachother then they wouldn't have made 4v4 modes.(or give renown points for things like "Savior" etc)

OK here's the situation.... I'm playing Dominion and our team immediately loses C as I take A with a team mate. I leave A heading for B and B is already in their control. They have 2 heroes there and a third coming from C. We have 2 heroes at B also and I'm coming from A leaving my team mate to cover A. The other teams heroes at B already taking control as my 2 team mates at B already dead or close to it. All of a sudden the A base we have goes white indicating their 4th team mate went straight for A. I decide to not even hassle with B (lost cause by now) and head back to A to make sure we hold it.

I arrive at A to see my team mate and one of the opposing team circling each other. Both have 1 bar of health left and no stamina. Here's my dilemma...I know it's been a good fight between the two and I really don't want to jump in...However, I'm looking at the score as they are in the 300's climbing to 400 while we are under 100. After what seemed like forever watching the two exchange blocks and parries I jump in and gank their team and take A. Was I wrong in doing this? We had to get the base but I know I stole the satisfaction from my team mate of winning or losing a close fight.

Let me know your opinions people. There is no right or wrong answer here. (I think) I did feel bad for doing it. We did win the match though.

DOMINION MODE= strategy+1v1 speed duel or handicap match+mind games+ team work= do everything in your power to win, and have fun...this mine answer.....BTW Ubis pls, put 2 capitains(for team) in dominion 1go to center and 1 to near zone as protector, it's a simulation of battle

Not confused but conflicted. But no longer, since this paragraph describes how I played when I started playing and before I started reading the forums. I guess there is a right answer after all. TO GANK. And so I shall.
