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. | ||

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. | ||

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

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. | ||

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 ! | ||

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? | ||
