AP casters are fairly week but I think theres a bit of exception, kass has lots of mobilty, I did a lot of games as Leblanc today. I think as we see roles and actual strats develop there will be places for an AP nuker with the power of LB, the spammability of a Cass. based on the 6-7 games I got in today I think playing a nuker you need to move between the speed boost points constantly and shoot around to cap/defend points and keep stormshield buff as much as possible

Im kinda disappointed by dominion...its seems imbalanced and tailored for *casuals*..you can play a team with all carry and win the game easily not much skill involved, at least it will get some realty bad people away from ranked with the elo reset LOL!

I wouldn't say its tailored for casuals its just casual friendly when you compare it to summoners rift since you don't get punished as hard if you make a minor mistake. Dominion still has complexity and depth its just not fully explored yet and I would cry my eyes out if it was since its only a couple of hours of open beta. All carry can work but you can still get item countered. And playing a carry with an all-in build will punish you if you ever decide to walk alone.

Honestly its just different from summoners rift and when you say stuff like "tailored for casuals" your making a direct comparison with summoners rift but if you look at other similar modes like AB in WoW, conquest in BF or domination it UT you'll see that the quest system is actually pretty clever as well as the mid buff and circular design as well as the fog being removed in the circle and towers - all these things ad depth outside of the standard capture and hold gameplay. You actually can't roam alone if the other team has a defending nuker at their points and holding points for as long as you can in 1v2 (or more) situations will help your team in their offensive pushes.

I would actually dare to say that dominion requires more teamplay and tactics then summoners rift and if not its at the very least way more reactive.

I was playing Domino last night while I was drinking some hard cider, and I figured out the mode is about mobility, sustain, and not needing too much mana. Nunu is a good choice with his eat minion hp regen, passive free spell, and imba slow. I lost with Urgot, but he can charge up 1/4 of a tear on the pad in the first minutes of the game. Tried Shaco, and found anybody with a built in flash is pretty good. Played a game with 3 smites on our team and won that because promoted minions are op. All in all its a fun mode, but I prefer to play summoner's rift.

It's definitely fun, we took a basically assured loss (it was like 13-100) and came back and won 6-0. There is assuredly strategy to it, as long as you're smart. Back capping, drawing people away from towers, split pushing, getting turrets "low" then running away and coming back to cap in <1 second when it's clear... it can be pretty nice.

It's clear that there are certain characters that are better than others here. Oddly, though, it's not the same as SR. Obviously carries aren't as good, but some bruisers that aren't as good in SR (Blitz, Trynd, Rammus) are just stupidly good in DM.

I don't think we'll be seeing many DM tournaments, but I also don't think it's outside the realm of possibility.

Honestly? Not really, since there's a lot of split-pushing style stuff going on. Carries work well in a group, but if I'm Jax/Akali/Riven capping a tower and a single AP or AD carry comes along to try and defend, I can kind of just shit all over them solo. The best counter to big roaming groups on that map is just to abandon the tower they're attacking and take the rest. Eventually 1 or 2 of them will split off, which is much easier to manage by yourself or with one teammate.

It's going to take a while before people develop actual strategies, that's all. we're going to see a different caste of dominant champions, but I don't think we'll see any inherent balance issues. yes, your favourite AP carry probably isn't the best choice (but mine is LOL), but there are a lot of other options, and champs with fringe kits like eve/veigar are going to see little resurgences on the map. it's fun!

i'm pretty sure with a stable team i could analyze the map and determine some close-to-optimal strategies

You could do that on SR too when it was released.

The full map isn't revealed on SR and you don't get a shitton on money by not doing anything. Dominion is fun but it should absolutely not be seen as anything close to an online competitive game, because there is little to no skill involved in it if you know the basics of video games. And even being terrible you can be useful, which makes no sense to me.

Good thing is playing normal or ranked while Dominion is active makes you play much more interesting games !

The lack of wards piss me off.

Wouldn't it be part of a strat to place wards within the fog where we actually CANNOT see so we can react to backdooring more easily?

I feel like dominion is basically just going to be my replacement for coop vs ai matches. i really doubt someone would care if you afk for a few minutes and it will give you your win of the day bonus faster. it also will help you test out new shit without having to worry about consequences.

2nd game of dominion, a warwick cries his eyes out because I was *gasp* defending a node as heimer instead of roaming around getting killed. Apparently I should not hug my turrets so he could kill me >_>
