PapaSmurf:

Why is Poppy so cheap in the store?

They recently reduced her cost (along with Garen).

It’s a scientific term idrisz.

I’m gonna rename it to “The Lotus”.

MrCoffee:

Atleast build him the proper way, DFG/Deathcap/Void staff to be the perfect glass cannon.

I stopped using Veigar until the remake, he cant harass anything until he is like level 9 and any good Mid knows your Q alone does very little damage and you need it to farm so he will constantly harass you at low level and make your life impossible behind that little mid turret.

The correct Veigar build is to pick Annie instead

“Vagina” is a perfectly cromulent word.

Although, to be pedantic, a huge percentage of the time when people say it, they really mean vulva.

Okay, so after playing Dominion a lot these few days I conclude that there are definitely a handful of champs who are massively overpowered for this game type and a whole bunch more that are as useless as Eve is in regular mode.

I wonder how they plan to balance that.

Pogo · 2011-09-29T13:17:03.000Z

Sorry, I’m still of the opinion that the bulk of winning the game has to do with strategy and your skill with your champion.

Like Twisted Treeline, they don’t. Play SR for “balance”.

Hanacker · 2011-09-29T13:38:30.000Z

With the special items, it sounded like they were going to put more effort into balancing dominion than tt, but that could be wishful thinking.

Calistas · 2011-09-29T13:50:47.000Z

The only thing that bugs me about Dom is the huge number of AP types that don’t build a bloody Hextech Sweeper when facing Akali or Eve or Talon or all of them at once. FFS people!

I do like that the balance is different. It is fun seeing some lesser-used heroes get some play time on Dom.

Now, I need to try Rumble on that map. His speed boost and general usefulness could be handy - although I fear he lacks the burst to truly dominate like I can do with Jax.

That’s the only thing I like about Dominion. I haven’t played Heimer in months before dominion.

I wasn’t that impressed with the sweeper. At least against Eve or Twitch, by the time you have vision on them, it’s too late. It might work better against Akali, Talon, or Shaco.

guppy · 2011-09-29T15:01:08.000Z

I’m interested to hear who people think is overpowered in Dominion. The one I usually hear complaints about is Rammus, and I’m not sold on that yet.

I’ve been fucked up by AD Sion, that was tough to fight against.

Pogo · 2011-09-29T15:08:20.000Z

Well, the problem is that you have people who can buy a fucking Blasting Rod + boots at only level 3 and get a very high AP ratio on a Rank 2 ability (which is why Akali is a murderer with her damage at the beginning of the game).

But people still have no leverage their kills into an advantage for the endgame.

Harkonis · 2011-09-29T15:12:00.000Z

I don’t mind Rammus much. His taunt and move speed do make him very good at Dom, but I don’t find him feeling OP to me.

Jax, Irelia, Akali feel awfully good and potentially OP though.

Gangplank and Pantheon are extremely good for the fact that they can ult to stop your cap from far away.

AaronSofaer · 2011-09-29T15:21:16.000Z

If you know you’re going to build a Ghostblade eventually, is it worth it to make an Avarice Blade, or just make the Brutalizer and leave it till you upgrade?
