Oh, Udyr makes great sense with his sustain and speed. I wish I had the chance to play Dom! Sucks to be in NZ I guess.

chequers:

My rip for best characters is those who do damage into late game with ad abilities. Irelia, Xin, Panth.

I think Xin is a terrible Character in Dominion.
He has no AD scaling at all and his only strong phase is the first eight levels when nobody has any items on twisted treeline. That phase doesn’t even exists in Dominion.

chequers · 2011-09-23T02:25:27.000Z

True. My revised tip is: Champs who win 1v1s easily and without losing much health. Mostly that means ad heroes with vampirism, but the few AP chars with spellvamp are also included.
Irelia, Akali, ???

I just wish they came up with something original, this is not. Its AB from Wow and not a very good one at that. Played about 8 games yesterday and done with it. New is not always good.

chequers · 2011-09-23T02:41:40.000Z

You’re playing a dota clone and complaining it’s not original enough? That’s like playing MW2 and saying ti’s too much like MW1

Nathan_Phoenix · 2011-09-23T05:38:56.000Z

But MechWarrior 1 and 2 were quite different! :P

Runes/masteries for Jax? Solomid.net guides recommend AD and dodge, Therlun says MS, Arpen, Etc. Who to follow, the Pros or the German?

I can’t brain.

Definitely dodge runes on Jax, but that’s just, uh, seals? I think?

If you find the laning phase and last hitting fun, I don’t know what to say. To me this removes the part of the game that’s boring and keeps the part that’s fun.

Unless you wanna buy Dodge Quints, but that’s a massive investment. Dodge Seals with Pure AD reds and Quints (and flat mr blues) is usually what is run on him. You don’t need ArmPen since your damage is hybrid.

I don’t think last hitting itself is fun, but fucking up someone else’s day so they can’t even get near enough to get XP from creeps is very fun. If you can say to the other player “I DARE you to come near the creeps” and absolutely punish them, then you’ve found the essence of the laning phase. I’m not even sure if creeps give XP in dominions, or if everyone essentially levels equally (except when dead maybe?)

I played two games of Dominion and both times we lost but I had the highest Total Quarterback Rating on either team. So what I like about Dominion is that it’s finally proof that I’ve been held back by noobs and baddies all this time. I win!

Teiman · 2011-09-23T07:52:39.000Z

After playing with Orianna, I has ben dreaming about she. Weird. Is not even specially fun, or OP, or anything. My first game with she was 8/0/16. I like how the ball is really like a mini-turret that you can use to negate space, generate damage in places that you can’t really visit. I have read a guide, and it say that don’t scale well, but I have not feel any lack of power. His passive is a multiplicator of damage wen you attack the same target in a serie, if you combine that with attack speed to be a monster. Also, his effect that create a vortex that attract everyone to the center, is another center to weak all the enemies in a team fight. I normally enjoy more supporting characters with utility (like Teemo) but Orianna has something… interesting. Like… you can solo any lane. And be superior to anything that is tryiing to farm the same lane. The builtin flaw, so the character is “balanced” and not a monster, is to make she very dependant to mana. But is really easy to buy a lot of mana and mana regen. Then, everything else may make sense, magic power, attack speed, survavility… The only flaw I see on the character is the distance that she need to launch the ball, and the slow speed of the animation. Thats a critical time where you can get hit. Characters like Janna can primme the tornado, and get away as soon is planted. Teemo would have place the fungus 3 minutes ago. But Orianna must launch the ball in mid combat, a lot, …

I must play more!

Sorry about the wall of text. Short version here:

Yea, I have dream about Orianna.
I really like the hero, but I see a flaw that people can exploit in pvp.
Is… interesting.

skyride · 2011-09-23T08:34:22.000Z

In your dream, was Orianna a guy?

I think, no joke, this may be one of the most useful lol tutorial vids I’ve seen:
