10v10 King of the Hill

I need this in my life and I needed it yesterday.
The idea would be to design a game mode that would evolve a meta-game of larger battles, much larger than what Domination currently provides.
In 10v10 KOTH , 1v1s would be nonexistent. This alone would immediately begin to shift the power balance of the classes to a more desirable place.
In 10v10 KOTH, cookie-cutter Domination builds wouldn't be so obviously superior. Spell loadouts of each class would be largely varied. This would add a huge amount of diversity to the battlefield. Diversity!
In 10v10 KOTH, there's actually a really big hill! Okay, maybe there isn't
but there's tons of environmental elements that drastically impact the flow of battle. Line of sight, high ground, back-door tunnels, etc. provide a more interesting means of utilizing the environment than just running in circles around a pillar or standing on a ledge. Positioning is much more important to victory and much more challenging and complex than simply putting an OP player on the backcap.
In 10v10 KOTH, comebacks would happen frequently! The scoring would be designed to create momentum swings for each team. A true tug-of-war. Fight for the Hill, win the Hill, now the defend the Hill! You better believe that the hardest thing to do will be to defend it!
In 10v10 KOTH, you can only solo-queue! (Just kidding, you can queue with your buddies but you might end up on different teams!) Moshpit madness my friends. You want team play? Queue up for Domination, its still the more prestigious Arena type for those teams seeking glory and respect.
Share your ideas and thoughts on how we can further refine this idea. Keep in mind that the goal here is to create something unique from the 5v5 Domination meta-game.

I would like to see it as an alternative to Domination more than a substitute. I like the idea that Domination would remain the standard for high end team play.

Depends really. The only reason Domination remains the standard is because it is the only consistent PVP mode available.
If they were to add yet another mode, who knows, maybe it will rival the current one as the standard (as long as it doesn't go over 10 players on each team).
