    Please, stop giving player points in Dominion just to stand still in a captured zone

    Just as the title says. There's a lot of players that just stay in one zone because it's the easiest way to get points, they sometimes defend it, but many times they are overwhelmed by the opponents. And that makes the match a 3v4, 2v4 or even 1v4 if they come in a party.
    Leaving your teammates to fight outnumbered while having the option to join the fight and actually help should not be rewarded with points and renown.
    It's ok if a zone gets a multiplier on match points when someone is guarding it, but that player should receive extra points for killing opponents while defending that zone instead of receiving points just for stand in there.

    One person holding a zone helps you win the match, it's a capture and hold mode, boosting a zone or even contesting one is helping your team more than fighting elsewhere.

    That is what you do in dominionCapture point and boost it and protect it...If you like to run like mindless ape around the map and get killed go for it..

    They also need to make capturing the central point count towards the order

    Count towards the order? What do you mean?

    That's my only gripe with Dominion, depending on the mmr you it's a 3v3 while 1 person plays on their phone or emote spam. Sometimes it's the weakest member on "defending" duty and sometimes it's the strongest guy who can hold the point. Either way 2 people in the dominion game get less things to do. Would love it they added more players to dominion most of these maps can easily be a 6v6. If there was more action happening in 6v6 I would play it more but having these big game modes be only 4v4 is just boring.

    I enjoy how your putting him down for wanting to run around the map instead of spending 30% of his gameplay afk on a capture point

    When you have the "Capture X amount of zones in Dominion" order, B should count as a cap too.

    Purpose of the mode is to overscore the other team thanks to points you get with captured zone and the midlane.

    Not running arround and fight opponents only. If you want to just have to care about fighting go for deathmatch, duel or brawls.

    It also depend about the class you are playing. Zone keeper is the best job for heavies or Shaman for exemple (with great rotation to B).

    You cant blame someone trying to do what his hero is made to do. Like blaming a Kensei or Musha for staying on B clearing minions.

    I prefer to play with people trying to fulfill their role than people just running arround and spending time in useless fights.

    Everyone, learn to read first, comment later!

    I never said that the zone should not be potentiated by someone defending it, I just said that doing it should not give renown or player point just by standing still.
    The zone should generate more points TO THE TEAM while being defended, but just that.
    Want extra points? Defense kills.

    If someone want to defend, that's ok, but he should not be too player on score just for stand still in a zone.

    I've seen scores of over 800 point just for doing that.
