i used to love dominion and skirmish . but , its just since , they nerfed revenge you cannot survive when you are outnumbered,The revenge was there to give you extra armor to withstand many opponent.But now you can't take the extra hit when in revenge you die in 3 second .Some say dont find yourself outnumbered ... but it is easier to say than reality.
So instead of *****ing and moaning i keep duel and brawl and i have a lot of fun with it.I play everyday.

Pretty interesting to see some of the reasons why you all prefer certain modes and avoid others - it would be good food for thought for the team to think about as we progress forward.
It's also unfortunate to see that some of you feel that you want to avoid dominions because of centurion. We want you to be able to play what you want - and seeing that there are these unintended barriers to your enjoyment is something I want to bring up to the team to discuss as well.

Dominion vs AI. Wish the AI bots would be a little better, and the games last slightly longer, but meh. Also wish player bots would be dealt with - or even acknowledged.
PvP dominion is painful as there are so many centurions or cheesy tactics being employed. That class really needs to be nerfed as soon as Ubisoft is done making money off the unlocks. It's entirely ridiculous.
I hate duel - I like strategic options, in duel there are none.

I like everything but Elimination, mostly for reasons already stated.
Duel-awesome. Although, ... I kinda' wish there was an option to play with gear stats.
Brawl-awesome. Adds a bit of opponent variety, and if I'm suckin,' I still have a teammate.
Skirmish-I don't really play it but for orders, but I don't dislike it. Unlike Elimination, it's very... genuine, real. It's a gankfest, pure and simple, and doesn't claim to be anything but. And, it's good for working on one's ganking skills. That may sound silly to some of you, but getting killed by a careless teammate's friendly fire during a crucial moment in Dominion is not silly. And it does happen. Skirmish is a real "take it or leave it" type of game mode. In general, people love it or hate it. I'm fairly indifferent, however.
Elimination-I really don't like it, and absolutely never play it but for orders. Even then, sometimes I won't. As someone said before, if your team sucks, you're virtually guaranteed to lose. You won your matchup? Congrats. As a reward, you now get to face three opponents simultaneously. Also, should you have failed to execute your original opponent and find yourself unable to control your three new ones, you'll get to face three opponents, high on winning and group mentality, as well as a fourth with a grudge.
Now sometimes I get into a lobby wherein everyone's playing extra honorably and refraining from interfering in 1v1s. This is nice, and it makes me feel like the community's not entirely made up of ****heads who inexplicably strive to make folks rage quit and sell their game. However, ...
Despite the warm and fuzzy that this evokes, it can take FOREVER. So, even when Elimination's cool, it sucks. IMO
Dominion-Ah, the crown jewel. The most complex and, IMO, best game mode in For Honor. It's like all the others combined. This is default for me. It's only if I'm not feelin' Dominion that I play Duel or Brawl. (Though sometimes I like to start with Brawl as a warm-up.)
Gank squads suck, that's all there is to it. The only advice I have for Dominion players facing gank squads is to really pay attention to numbers and icons. Sometimes gank squads get so wrapped up in killing that they fail to notice the score. And, ... Know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em. (Sorry.) There's no shame in abandoning a point when you've got three enemies charging toward you and no hope of reinforcement.
Centurions-there's another forum post or 50 about how Centurions suck. However, I've not read any valid reasons therefor. I'm not trying to be cheeky, but seriously, what is your complaint about Centurions? I mean I know that facing an entire Dominion team of Centurions sucks, but so does facing an entire Dominion team of Shinobi! I'm somewhat ashame to admit, but I once played on a Dominion team of Shinobi. And, if there's a special hell for gamers, that match put me WAY closer to it. It was awful. The entire opposing team left, willing to eat the matchmaking penalty, but for one poor Shugoki. I seriously felt guilty, and I will never do that again. (Except maybe to grief some ***holes.)
This is off-topic and maybe a bit "salty," but at this point, I'm so past the character limit and that of readers' patience that I just don't care.
There have been a lot changes made to this game since its release, many at the behest of the player community. And, many of them have been for the best. All of them have required players to make adjustments to their styles. I figured out the guard break mechanic, y'all complained, it was changed, I readjusted. I figured out guard switch speed for my characters, y'all complained, now I'm trying to adjust to that. Maybe y'all are right, and these fixes need to be made. I just wanna' make sure that we're trying to figure the game out and exhausting all of out options before we demand gameplay changes from Devs. If ****'s genuinely ****ed up, then by all means, get it fixed. If you're just havin' a hard time with something, though, don't start ranting and raving on the forums, demanding changes that would significantly affect gameplay for EVERYONE. Do Duel Practice, watch a YouTube tutorial, READ THE **** MOVESET!
I'm sorry for... all of this. Feel free to hate.
Good fight!

all the modes fall short. Dominion is a very sad excuse of a big mode. We really would need something actually big and engaging. Like a 40 minutes siege with walls to break through. Right now we have just variations of 1v1 2v2 4v4 that feel almost exactly the same, and the 10minutes Dominion is nothing to brag about.
