I played 13 matches today on dominion and every single ****in match the entire team was ganking together and traveling in packs like the ****'less cowards they know themselfs to be. Every match was with different people yet the same play style with at least 2 heroes spamming unblockables. So my question is what the hell happened to this game??? Is this what the devs want for honor to be, a ganking festival with unblockable spamming requiring no skill whatsoever. I have over 600 hours in this game but i finally called it quits. I was gonna wait till the end of S5 to see how this game turns out after the reworks but no it is clear that after the rework their will be even more heroes with unblockable attacks. The direction this game has taken has removed it completely from a skill based game. This game could have been something amazing that lasts for years to come but no, you ****ed it up (more and more with each season).
I would play duel or brawl but I'm on pc. It takes 20 - 30 minutes just to find a match on duel. Not to mention I can't even get in a brawl match. The only mode i am left with is dominion, which was tolerable in the past, but as it stands right now i find no joy playing it.Originally Posted by BarbeQMichael Go to original post
I would love to have another mode like battle royal or free for all but with the current pc player base, the game would be long dead before they even release a new mode to play.
Duel on PC (Europe) takes max. 3 minutes for me to find a match. Maybe your region is very sparsely populated?
And concerning Dominion, it always was like this from release onwards. Ganking Squads were around forever. But that tactic does not play out if nobody confronts them. When they are running as a full squad, just take the other 2 points? And when they come for you, run away. That way they will split or lose the game. Did that plenty of times.
Nice to read that it's not just me.Originally Posted by WarGods1 Go to original post
I can only enjoy "For Honor" in bot mode, which of course gets boring with time.
Or if I'm lucky to find a good duel.
But Dominion often does not play.
And yes, you can hit 100 players, they all play their character the same. spam the same buttons.
Do not let them bother you. You will often hear that it is up to you that you can not play for honor and you will get many tutorials under your nose.
Ganks? You not playing an openworld MMO. It's a Dominion, mode that exist in Battlfield,Overwatch. and many other games. If you are less in teamfight so it's your fault. It's rules and they the same for both sides.
I am amazed by the number of сazuals. Stop flaming and posting this **** again and again - you just don't now how to play this mode.

Exactly, although your post was meant ironically. But you got the point! If 4 people can team up, so can you. If one player decides to run into a 4 man gank squad, it is his fault. Not the Matchmakers, not the Devs, not anyones fault but the person doing it...Originally Posted by MatsumaruGER Go to original post
When I see an enemy gank is when I divise a plan. I lour them to a ledge, I parry ALL their attacks- so eventually you will get revenge. Initialize it and ledge all of them.
When MY team is ganking I don't join them, I see it as a distraction for the enemy team. So I rush to all open objectives to take them.
Ganking is part of the 4v4 gameplay; the issue isn't the ganking itself, it's that it is heavily encouraged through poor map design and poor game mode design in general.
Adding Friendly Fire and TK punishments/bans are effectively discouraging ganking; however, it's better to encourage the behavior you want, than discourage the behavior you don't want.
As in, Friendly Fire and TK bans are bandaid solutions; they'll still ultimately solve little around ganking in general. By trying to discourage ganking through punishing ganks, you effectively encourage things you don't want.
Instead, they should revisit how Dominion is played, and making it so that if a team decides to gang up and gank around the map, they'd actually be on the losing side if they're not careful; without penalizing them with bans or anything, and without letting teammates kill each other. This would of course involve reworking the concept of how Dominion is played, adding more objectives, adding more goals to achieve, and of course making the maps bigger and the investments into zone capture/defense greater. Effectively encouraging an actual objective mode instead of just capturing A and C and then deathballing around the map for easy renown.
I will post whatever the hell I want. With that said did i offend your cowardice playstyle? if you ****in enjoy the game mode as it is then go play i don't need your damn comment telling me how to play the game.Originally Posted by s_Redkey Go to original post
