I really hate the domination system

[Lucifer Sam]

I find this ♥♥♥♥ very pointless and all it does it causes people to feel like huge egotistical ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥s when they get more than one domination in a server. Snipers and Medics are the worst though. One can easily get them by shooting them 4 times in a row from far away and the other one through simple crits and assists.
It's also sad to see "#2pro" players such as this one Puff and sting pyro do contests of "Dominate me and get a free hat" since i see this as a big "♥♥♥♥ you all, I'm better than you". Also, it gets you the Gibus and Pyrovision goggles, the worst items in the game to wear.
I haven't seen any threads talk about this so far and i'm wondering, why?

EDIT: I forgot to mention the amount of times I have my teammates focus on getting their revenges rather than help the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ team or complete the objectives...

I think if you get a random crit, it shouldnt count against domination. same with assists

But gibus is practically a domination magnet, implying you're better than them.

Not fun having snipers or spies try to get the gibus wearing soldier rather than the Medic with a demo and full uber ready to pop...

domantion is epic, give me that awesomekick, also when you get dominated most of the time you try to kill that guy lol

Dominations are a critical component of TF2, and such a game mechanic has also been seen in many other games predating it. I don't know if I could say it is completely pointless, but it's more of an additional feature. However, the players going around boasting how many dominations they have tend to be pretty lousy players in general. I personally enjoy the domination system, and I think a lot of other people do too, which could explain why there are not that many other threads discussing it.

Though having medic on team probably had something to do with it...

But why in TF2? It seems completely random to include since TFC never had it. Besides there are about 2000+ servers that can do that for you in a much funner way...

Not the gameplay, but the Player him/her/pyro self, have you read my post?

I agree, I feel the exact same way. Also makes the victim feel like a dumbass too.
But we can keep the domination system if Valve makes it so dominators die in one hit from the person they're dominating.

Nah, don't change anything. Honestly if you are offensed by the fact that you are getting dominated, just remember that it's a game.

I never forget that this is a game it just annoys the hell out of me getting dominated by the whole team and they are mocking the ♥♥♥♥ out of me for it, games are for having fun, I wasn't having fun AT ALL there...

The domination system is in place to encourage an adversarial environment. It often push's people to try things they normally would not. Seeing the person your being dominated bytends to trigger that extra effort required to take him out.

After all domination's are a good indicator of how much the person is contributing to the team without being stopped.
