New Battlefield: Mordekaiser, OH wait...

In all seriousness, I'm pretty excited for this game-mode. I know, I know, they might have announced it too early because of Dota2 panic or something, but it looks really promising.

I say we try it and then bash it if it isn't good.

I won $3 because I knew it would just be another Riot announcement of something cool that we'll see "soon".

Looks good. I wonder, if this is a success, if there will be more CP maps made. I don't know how difficult it is to balance for this mode, but seeing the changes they've made so far (starting with extra gold and at level 3 etc) it seems like it might be quite tough.

The map looks much smaller than summoner's rift. I guess that's whats going to help the 20 minute game time but still it looks like 10-12 seconds to the middle... The art looks really solid though and I'm excited to see vods/streams from gamescom and pax.

Dont balance the champs balance the maps. If there are several game modes then all the 80 champs can be good depending on the map. Its a better promise than a map which we havent seen any kind of footage from IE Magma Chamber. I suspect that riot will pull out the big guns (this map, spectator mode and season 2) once DOTA2 is out.

so all im hearing is

1- pick a caster
2- kill 2-3 minions for the tiny bit of gold you need
3- start at level 3 with haunting guise
4- .... yessssssssss

this looks fucking amazing. i seriously like the idea of this way more than traditional LoL

Looks like there will be one " carry " who needs farm and will stay bottom to farm/poush (needs to be sustainable) against the counterpart, and the rest will be fighting top for the contested towers. Lots of potential for roaming though.

I actually like this idea a lot more than magma chamber. Whether it'll be good or not, its hell of a lot more innovative than just adding/subtracting a few players per team. Also depending on how well done and how successful it is (i.e. popular), it has a potential to expand the moba genre.

I strongly disagree this will be much like Arathi Basin. Sure the foundational rules are there, but the character and teamwork dynamics are very different.

With Dominion's release we'll see if LoL's devs have the inspiration and execution to match Valve and icefrog of dota 2.

They said they would change items to balance the map. This maps sounds really really imba for champs that have hard cc, burst champs and tanky mofos like amummu and singed with the current items.

ok so is this game mode going to be something like domination from Unreal Tournament? because that was my first impression, but then people started to.compare it to some antari basin and i dont know wtf anymore. Can someone use reference to game mode from some oldschool game (or at least older than wow, in case someone from this site was interreested only in sc1 from the moment of wc3 release till discovering LOL)? Recently i cant watch any videos sadly so I cant watch the preview/gameplay
