Dominion\u2019s fast-paced gameplay loop and variety from League\u2019s regular ranked matches quickly made it one of the premier casual modes, with many players treating it as a lobby where they could cool off after tough competitive battles\u2060\u2014until Riot Games suddenly slammed the doors on the playlist (and its iconic Crystal Scar battlefield) midway through the 2016 League season. At the time, Riot suggested not enough players were joining Crystal Scar lobbies, but nearly a decade later, outcry to bring it back remains. So, will League ever see Dominion and the Crystal Scar return? What is Dominion in League? Dominion was essentially League\u2019s Capture the Flag mode. Two teams of five players contested capture points on the Crystal Scar map. Whichever team controlled the points the longest would win. This game mode was one of the few in League where players did not \"last-hit\" the Nexus to achieve victory. Instead, the Nexus health bar ticked down the longer you controlled CTF-style points. Each additional neutral point you claimed ownership of increased the damage over time and spawned minions. Points (damage to the Nexus) were won in the following way: Neutralize point \u2060\u2014 40 Capture point \u2060\u2014 40 Martyr (dying at turret) \u2060\u2014 40 Kill on point \u2060\u2014 30 Assisting in capture\/neutralize \u2060\u2014 25 Assist on point \u2060\u2014 10 Channel interrupt \u2060\u2014 Five Defending a turret (every 10 seconds) \u2060\u2014 Five Picking up the Storm Shield \u2060\u2014 Three Minion kill \u2060\u2014 Two Picking up health pack \u2060\u2014 Two Assisting an ally (buffs, heal, etc.) \u2060\u2014 One Dominion\u2019s biggest selling point was it was a faster game mode: each Nexus started on 500 health, meaning matches were decided quite quickly. Is Dominion mode coming back to League? It\u2019s very unlikely Dominion will ever return to League\u2014and that\u2019s from Riot developers directly. While we\u2019ll never say never, don\u2019t expect the Crystal Scar map mode to ever get a modern-day update. This has been Riot\u2019s stance on the Capture the Flag mode since as far back as late 2020 when the devs declared: \u201cCrystal Scar is very unlikely to come back.\u201d The biggest issue, Dot Esports understands, is technical. Dominion\u2019s Crystal Scar map was originally designed on old League code which simply no longer exists. To bring back the Dominion game mode, the Riot devs would have to rebuild it from scratch, which they decided was not worth the time compared to shipping upgrades for the Summoner\u2019s Rift and Howling Abyss maps. They can\u2019t even bring back the original map either because it doesn\u2019t work with League\u2019s DirectX version, which has been the code base for three years. The only way Dominion could ever live on is if it was spliced onto a new battlefield, but that\u2019s just as unlikely as a full Crystal Scar re-release.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/garen-stands-in-front-of-the-dominion-nexus-structure-in-league-of-legends-while-nocturne-lurks-e1708964069998.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1009755"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2076"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1009755"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1009755\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1009785,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1009755\/revisions\/1009785"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1009762"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1009755"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1009755"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1009755"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1009755"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1009755"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1009755"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1009755"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
