Re: League of Legends XXV: Who is your Summoner, and what does he do?
If there is one thing I think you should look at it through, it is assist and not kill potential, as it is a relatively small percentage of the kill, but again, for assist, that is near 25% extra. If you know that you like gold, and will be fighting and winning often, but won't be the one to get the kill, then this might be of some use looking into.
Like you said, though, you will probably be trading with something from one of the other trees, and there is nothing easy to just give up for it.

Re: League of Legends XXV: Who is your Summoner, and what does he do?
Coordination is quite important on dominion. Tanky DPS and Assassins tend to be quite good on Dominion. The basic strategy is to focus on the Windmill and the two points closest to your spawn. Generally you only need one character good at defending both with the rest of the team focusing on top. Pay attention to the mini-map and don't overextend chasing / capping points.
Going for the quests is generally not worth putting that much effort into; they're a nice perk if you can get them but not worth losing control for. I don't know if ghost / exhaust got changed in the last patch, but those are pretty much the go-for summoner spells on Dominion, due to the prevalence of assassins on the map and the need for mobility.

Re: League of Legends XXV: Who is your Summoner, and what does he do?
on old patch in a 30~40 min game I can get around 15~17k or more gold when I play carry or DPS champs.
I get around 9~11k gold as 0CS support or tank. factoring in that I usually get around 15 or more as assists in those games, it means I get an extra 360 or more gold per game, which factors into plenty of wards and potions, or free boots.
I can't find a use for extra starting gold. as of right now, if you place in 2 points there you get an extra 40 gold, wich allows for an extra pot, or allows you to start fairy charm and cloth armor. (wich really just need an extra 5 gold, which means just 1 mastery point or waiting 3~5 seconds after minion spawn before moving.) I would see it as being better if it offered 30/60 more starting gold instead, which would atleast get me a fairy charm + boots, much more useful imo. Or almost an extra ward.
Basically the mastery allow you to start fairy charm, cloth armor and a pot. which for 2 points, not worth it imo."Winning with friendship means winning at life!"

Re: League of Legends XXV: Who is your Summoner, and what does he do?
No-one. It's pretty much awful. Dominion added some nice extra itemistion for attack speed/onhit characters, like Kitae's Bloodrazor, but it also added Ionic Spark. Which is downright rubbish.
The deal with the extra gold is that it lets you start with an extra potion, which on a lot of characters can be huuuuge. That's 200 bonus health. Holy moley.
It's useful for Doran's starts to get huge old timey lane dominance.BANG → !

Re: League of Legends XXV: Who is your Summoner, and what does he do?
I'm thinking going Ignite and either Surge or Promote on Fizz. Any thoughts?

Re: League of Legends XXV: Who is your Summoner, and what does he do?
Just don't go surge and go double top with a surge Trynd, wait until level 6, and then gank a less than full health Nasus with almost no mana (not enough for ult,) and heavily denied farm, and accidentally picking cleanse, and expect to win.
... I'm still not sure how I won that trade as Nasus.

Re: League of Legends XXV: Who is your Summoner, and what does he do?
Would be a good idea I think, haven't tried it myself yet so not sure.
I'm still using flash, but finding that I rarely use it cause I can chase fine enough with E.
Surge could give your burst a sudden spike, and Promote could push your lane pretty well.
Huh, guess all I can say is either one could do well really.

Re: League of Legends XXV: Who is your Summoner, and what does he do?
That was an overall amazing game, too. It was actually one of the rare few I play with Djinn where I actually contributed well to the game.
But yeah, I think Nasus is quickly rising to my top 5... Except I still have no clue who else is there besides Gangplank. Although Udyr might be getting there.

Re: League of Legends XXV: Who is your Summoner, and what does he do?
The only consistent way I found to single-handedly carry Dominion is to play a really strong bottom laner. Force the other team to constantly send someone to help out bottom and your top forces should win the 4v3 fight.
Alternatively, mine the jungle with someone like Shaco and just pick off stragglers.
P.S. Which is why I ban Shaco... 6 bans in Dominion! Kiss those assassins good bye!Last edited by Joran; 2011-11-16 at 02:41 PM.

Re: League of Legends XXV: Who is your Summoner, and what does he do?
Dominion Advice from the resident Dominion-Only Player!
- Take Ghost. Everyone takes Ghost unless they plan on being the backcapper (the one who caps your close top point and joins the fight mid after). But really, unless you have a /very/ good reason (read: your champion set-up won't work without two other Summoner's), take Ghost.
- Experiment with Revive. If you're a player who typically goes mid for the first fight, try taking revive the next time. It means you can die early, and rejoin the fight going twice as fast and with lots of extra health. It's not a playstyle that works for everyone, but some people love it.
- Try backcapping. If your team is being locked down at your two closest points, try running across the map and capping their top or bottom. Generally, capping their top is easier to do, but it's very situational. Be careful to avoid the light patches in the center and in the jungle around the point so as to give yourself more time to at least neutralize the point.
If I think of more, I'll add it later, but this is what I have for now.

Re: League of Legends XXV: Who is your Summoner, and what does he do?
Yeah, that was definitely the game where I jungled Shyvana and went like 7/3/7. I might have deprived you of a few of those kills. Not that it mattered, since you just flash ulted into in ace two teamfights in a row before they surrendered.
Anyways, I still don't get why Daverin is surprised. Wither beats Tryndamere, so how wouldn't Wither plus Tower beat Tryndamere?Last edited by ex cathedra; 2011-11-16 at 03:40 PM.

A snare, an AoE ability that reduces MR, possibly the most broken OP spell in the game with black shield, and the ability to be VERY dangerous in teamfights with her ultimate if ignored.
Yeah, she just needs to lane with a character that can sustain themselves and she is damn good.Last edited by LordShotGun; 2011-11-16 at 04:20 PM.

Jungle Wukong. If one were to make that a thing, how would one go about it? I'm assuming buff duration is virtually a must, and bladed armor looks like it too... anything else?

Re: League of Legends XXV: Who is your Summoner, and what does he do?
I think the new masteries did make it easier to jungle... hmm...
I'd focus your AS steroid with at least one point in your autoattack reset (the armor reduction will probably be unnoticeable against most camps, though it could allow you to take fewer flat arpen runes and still deal true damage to some high-armor enemies).
As for decoy, it seems to have potential in counterjungling: when you're stealing a camp and see the enemy coming, throw up your decoy and either get the heck out of there or get the jump on 'em.
There are definitely better junglers out there (especially for ganking), but if your laners have a lot of good CC, it could work well.

Re: League of Legends XXV: Who is your Summoner, and what does he do?
I need to play Nasus more. Went full Defensive masteries (because, hey, why not?) and Teleport and Cleanse and pushed down towers at will. And each time you press Q near a minion wave...numbers go up. I gave up first blood to a gank from their Shaco, but late-game they had to use at least 3 if not 4 or 5 champions to stop me. Jax and Gangplank tried to take me on when I was trying to push their bottom inhibitor turret...it wasn't pretty for them.
So I definitely lacked an escape, but it didn't matter because they simply couldn't make progress on our towers, whereas I could do whatever 'cause I was Nasus. And he doesn't take anything from anyone. Nasus goes where he pleases. (And has the best voice acting to boot.)Last edited by Ivellius; 2011-11-16 at 05:34 PM.

So, hopefully someone has a screencap of it, but... 6 minute Dominion win, with like, a 1-2 minute 5 cap that was never broken.
Yep.

Re: League of Legends XXV: Who is your Summoner, and what does he do?
I wrote an assessment of every champion on the map pre-Xerath with Dominion in mind. While it's a bit out-of-date, it could still prove to be of interest to you (more so the individual assessments of their strengths and weaknesses than the list itself).
And yeah, basically, a strong pusher goes push bottom while the rest fight for the top 3 points (with focus on Windmill). Then you gank bot given the opportunity but have to avoid losing top points.
Generally, you want some solid attacker champions, some solid holder champions and then some utility. Speed is generally more valuable on Dominion than on SR so fast champs falling under those roles tend to be particularly valuable (Udyr, Zilean, Sona, etc.). And everyone getting money means every champ should build tanky or glass cannon; generally tanky builds are stronger especially since they enable you to hold points better.
Only champ I ever build glass cannon is Ezreal and that's 'cause he's so good at never being caught (against e.g. Kassadin I still build tanky on him). Oh, and obviously you want some champs to deal physical, and some to deal magical damage since pure physical or pure magical allows enemies to stack one type of resistance which is stupidly efficient at shutting teams down.
Of course, most players aren't truly strong enough for team composition considerations to determine most games and generally it comes down to individual player skill on both sides, just like SR. The differences tend to be big enough that players aren't screwed based on champion selection. The biggest difference to SR is that "getting fed" isn't nearly as dramatic since the gold differentials tend to cap out at ~2000 gold. While relevant, the fact that everyone keeps getting geared means games are never lost until they're over and the map does make for some amazing last second comebacks with just 1 point of Nexus health left (note, you can only finish from 100 points by point control; before then, things like champion kills also decrease enemy Nexus health but to win the game, you need to control more points than the enemy).Campaign Journal: Uncovering the Lost World - A Player's Diary in Low-Magic D&D (Latest Update: 8.3.2014)
