Playing Dominion makes me worry about new champion releases and balance between the two maps. You can tell Riven was designed for Dominion with how the items fit her better and the emphasis on mobility/less on sustain. I know they think they can just balance things with items, but I don't see it. I think that Riven is pretty good in standard Summoners Rift play as well, just she is rather weak in the early game. I think she has a niche somewhere inbetween brawlers/assasins. She has some really good AoE burst with 3xQ and W. Don't get me wrong, Riven is no Akali, but she is pretty strong I think. Ideally W could have a better stun (I think it is actually shorter than the animation...) but meh.
They changed that in the hotfix. Animation is .25 seconds or so, stun is base .5 seconds. It's more of an interrupt/peel/disruption than a CC.

14 win streak on ranked, then we lost 1 game... enough for today, hit 1500, it's good ~~

Shit works on SR because you have large fights where carries can be protected and are infrequent enough to have summoners and ults up. Dominion is never more than 3v3 (even that is unusual) and a fight every 60-90 seconds per person, so you never have summoners and ults up to fight, which is a huge problem for carries.

Played a couple of games of Dominion, don't really like it tbh. It seriously lacks finesse. Also very chaotic playing it in solo queue. Some heroes are completely shit, like way beyond simply not viable. Maybe it'll become better once people get to know the map and there can be some more strategy involved.

Is Dominion only on NA and EUW? Did it ever come on EUNE? If so, I may have missed it.
|
5 games 5 wins sup, pretty frantic looks good if you just wanna come on and have a quick game but that's bout it.
|
Only played 3 games, but it looked fun for a quick game. Maybe there will once be some tactic involved
|
Nocturne super ridiculous on the map
|
Played 5 games, it seemed like a good way to get a fast win of the day but I hope they find a way to make non-bruisers useful. Most of the champs I enjoy playing felt worthless there.
Really happy for Team RS, by the way. The more sponsorships that flow into the game, the better.

I think dominion would be bettter if you could buy some toolboxes or something that allow you to build turrets or minefields or fences. Best idea I know thx

Played a game this morning, knew at the champ select that we were going to lose for three reasons.
1. I was playing Ranged AD (I am bad at Ranged AD)
2. The opponents team was Lee Sin, Singed, Akali, Garen and Karthus.
3. One of my teammates instalocked in Ryze and said "I'm AP carry"
._.

Don't forget Akali.

What's wrong with #3?
and that's team bot-lane looks ass.

You build mana on Ryze, since that's how his Q and W burstiness scales, and it allows you to spam, which is how Ryze plays. AP Ryze works... but it's gimping yourself. I'd have been depressed too.

I think the point is "AP Carry" is shorthand for "I'm going to do craptons of magic damage". Even though Ryze is building mana, he's still called an "AP Carry".

Felt a bit too fast paced, with team mates and enemies running everywhere. Never felt like there was any coordination/planning. You just spawn, decide to go top or bot, and kill/cap whatever you see.
Its going to be impossible to balance.
