guppy:

You lose, mostly.

I’m surprised you couldn’t do more as Nasus, but it just goes to show that a character who’s very survivable but can’t force people to focus him is pointless.

I think Mcknight is right. Ashe simply hard countered me. I could catch up to her for one hit thanks to wither, but then she’s simply kept me slowed and I was screwed.

Mcknight, I don’t get why Brand hard counters though. His skillshot stun? The cooldown is too high, you can chase one of them down easily enough. It’s just Ashe who will cause me to not play Nasus from now on.

Ashe/Brand/Janna are the most prominent kiters in the game right now.

Brand has a 2 second stun on a damn short CD, nevermind the Rylais he’ll get eventually. He’ll kite you to kingdom come :)

Nathan_Phoenix · 2011-09-26T22:13:16.000Z

I tend to build philo early on Nasus and late game turn it into a shurelya’s late game, which helps a lot with getting into the thick of things if you have to initiate. The HP and cooldown don’t hurt either.

oh my god I just had the best idea. The dominion version of ARAM is: all random top point only! We need a qt3 5v5 of this immediately.

Few games of Dom tonight - what a lot of fun. Really enjoying the stress-free feel of experimenting with characters I wouldn’t normally inflict on people in a full game.

Jax is fun and strong, Heim - I enjoyed but I am not convinced. Rammus, very strong and useful for obvious reasons.

Not convinced by a lot of the squishy characters or anyone who takes a bit of time to build. Also characters like Alistar, who don’t have a good chunk of damage with their powers. Interesting stuff.

Carry soraka is pretty viable in dominion.

Yeah I didn’t realize there was another page so I didn’t realize Ashe was in that game when I wrote that. Any kiter will fuck Nasus over if he doesn’t have someone holding her down, but Ashe especially, because she can perma slow with Q.

SlyFrog:

I have a theory that you could create a syntax parsing function that scans people’s chat for excessive use of things like “lol,” and “bro,” and if you just banned those people without warning using some sort of blended scoring threshold, you would drastically improve the game.

Or really, frankly, almost any online game.

Come on bro, srsly? lollololol!

Every single game of dominion I’ve played so far the same thing happened: my team starts losing badly then we set a 2 defend/3 roam strat and we end up winning. Always.
Been playing lots of champs I actually stopped playing in Summoner’s Rift, overall I think it’s a great way to have some quick fun.

Soraka paired with leblanc can really keep up a nasty duration of silence on someone. I kept getting rocked by this combo on Cass in dominion yesterday. Soraka would land the silence and leb would W to me and then Q/R/E. It was a sad day to play a caster.

Im enjoying Katarina on Dominion.

Except when Udyr bear punches me out of my ult.

Yeah I’ve found she does quite well on it.

Anti-Bunny · 2011-09-27T13:49:19.000Z

My pro Dominion strat:
Pick Singed
Rush Hextech Sweeper
Kill Akali repeatedly

Jason_Becker · 2011-09-27T14:17:58.000Z

So how does the spawn timer in Dominion work? Seems like it varies as the game goes. Is it based on how good/bad the team is doing or how many are dead?

Harkonis · 2011-09-27T16:19:36.000Z

I think it’s just like SR, only shorter

forgeforsaken · 2011-09-27T16:24:58.000Z

I do believe the losing team has shorter respawns. Think they mentioned that in one of the casts.

Nathan_Phoenix · 2011-09-27T16:49:51.000Z

I’ve noticed that players that die at different times will respawn together, as though respawns are gated at intervals for the team. I’ve seen players die like ten seconds apart and respawn at the same time.

Are they the same level?

Nathan_Phoenix · 2011-09-27T16:54:53.000Z

I can’t say I verified it every time, but I noticed on multiple occasions that players that died at different times would have the same counter to respawn. It could have been coincidence. I’ll try to verify later when I have time to play.
