Domination was bad enough before the changes. Since the removal of 'Incursion' leaving 4 game modes, so now it's available for voting more often. The only time that a Domination game doesn't get played is usually when it's not one of the options. Very rarely does it get outvoted on.

Getting a little repetitive to have to sit through 4-8 Domination matches which never seem to end in 'Close Call' games. Sorry, but not amount of 'Sounds like a skill issue' or 'not with that attitude' is going to change an 8-10 mech difference. It's gotten to the point where even winning with that much of a difference makes it even worse knowing that the other team still had players who voted for adding a loss to their record.

A few ways to fix this.
1 - Bring back Incursion. Yes, I said it. It was the best QP mode before jumping to FP and it's a shame that Conquest is the only mode left that requires players to pull their weight.
2 - With only 4 game modes now, just make all 4 available with the 4 maps. This will most likely lead to more Domination games initially, but then get old fast as players get tired of it sooner.
3 - Scrap the Mode, and re-build it from the ground up. If you want King of the Hill, then make it King of the Hill. Bring the Timer over from Assault/Conquest, and make it count down faster when more mechs actually play the scenario. You could even do a Tug of War count where both teams pile in the middle to cap the bar on their side, much like the flags on Conquest.
4 - Get rid of it altogether.
5 - Introduce new Game Modes. Anything to switch up and give some variance to repeatedly having to deal with Domination in it's current state before actually enjoying the game.
