Yeah dom sucks I don't get why it exists its just a campfest. Skirmish at least lets you try to circumvent the atomp and go after less heavily guarded objectives.
you ever get to that point where you know you should sleep, but ya just...dont? yeah...me too.

And camping. Don't forget the camping.

And where I come from, they don't call it camping, they call it overwatch.
Of course it is, but it does not make for fun gameplay when an entire team has established their defenses and as such your teams only hope becomes coordination that, at least in pubs ain't gonna happen. Not saying its not legit, and yes irl its called overwatch but in a game I call it camping. I'm just saying that seeing as most of the objectives are next to rooftops that are unreachable without dropships the go to tactic becomes control the rooftop and shoot down at anyone trying to hack. Not. Fun.

Not. Fun. It is called defending the point. What is the point of capturing something if you can't defend it? Even if we got rid of dom. People still camp in skirm, people still camp in aqc, and even in ambush, people still camp. Domination is not the only gamemode where people camp.
No but it IS the only game mode (I'm leaving out acq because that one is just bad for so many other reasons) in which camping will win the entire game, if people camp in skirm the entire team isn't camping one point, so just attack a weaker point. There are options, and as for ambush at least it's harder to camp because of the lack of vehicles allowing people to set up unassailable bases.

There are options, and as for ambush at least it's harder to camp because of the lack of vehicles allowing people to set up unassailable bases. The statement in ambush is untrue, one guy with myos that has link and *poof* the camping begins. And as for the statement where Domination is the only gamemode where camping wil win the entire game, this is also untrue. Defending that position wins the game and working as a team wins the game. Not camping.
So...you mean that an infantry suit with a simmaler ammount of myos could take care of the spawns? Well there ya go my ambush statement holds true.
As for your second statement once the entire team is concentrated on an unassailable point and have taken up positions around a single letter it requires an entire team synchronised(a difficult task) to shift them. In skirmish their forces have to be broken up to cover all the objectives, the team has to start making choices other than 'what massdriver should I fire down at the other team' so yeah the camping in dom very quickly rises past 'point defence' levels.

It's just not fun anymore. If you're lucky, you might get one good game. But in a quick session, fat chance.
Maybe it's bad luck, but I can't seem to catch a break in even these losing games. More deaths to grenades or indirect fire, shooting plasma cannons into groups of 3 on the point and getting 0 kills then headshot sniped, tank rail cannon sniping from redline nails me while killing a pro suit toe to toe.
Just been one of those days I guess... ******!
Wouldn't that be 18 games? I hope you aren't just adding those up... Here's some set theory for you. A match being a member of the set 'loss' does not exclude it from being a member of the set 'unbalanced team games', or 'protostomper games', or 'redline games'. They can be several at the same time.
