...and have quite possibly ruined them.

Dom matches used to be brutal, very often ending with cloned-out wins, each MCC would be on its last few HP and kill counts ran high as both teams constantly push against each other.

Now, the winning team ends with at least 100 clones and the losers not much less. Each team starts with 150 clones and each team kills less than half the other's reserves.

One team captures and camps the objective spamming scanners to spot every enemy advance.
The other team never really mounts an offensive. They spam their own scanners and see a wall of red between them and the objective so they opt to ineffectively pick away kills at the edges. No one really gets close to any actual combat.

At the end the leaderboard reflects this tale. WP hauls are low, very few break 1000 and Ks and Ds run in mostly single digits.

Domination matches have been my favorite for a long time. The action was intense and focused. Now, sadly, they are nearly a snooze fest.

Yeah, I agree. Ever since the team balancing update, i've played doms that are almost as competitive as PC matches. Matches where I don't who wins until end match screen comes on. (did we clone them out or did they reck out mcc?)

The doms i've played ever since 1.9 have been one sided. Ewar in his game is broken. It needs to be removed and redesigned.

Um, Dominations were almost always one sided, unless both teams were all pro or all noobs.

The first team to get to the objective with a heavy and a logi with uplinks and Nanos usually win the match because they start setting up a base and it's really hard to get past a well-established defence.

Having scanners changed to team based has so little value on the outcome of Dominations, when it comes to those types of teams, it's laughable at best.
