Fucking scrub game after scrub game today, Dominion is fucking stupid.

I don’t give a fuck about Jax and Akali when bullshit like Riven hopping over skillshots is in the game. Nobody seems to pick up on banning Yorick and Heimer either, they just can’t handle Akali so stupid mother fuckers ban her instead.

Hi Pogo.

You know why everyone bans Amumu?

Because when I win in ranked I teabag your fountain with /taunt. That’s why.

I haven’t seen that one before. Are you suggesting people ban Riven instead of Jax or Akali though?

Hanacker · 2011-10-19T15:37:46.000Z

People play Dominion with bans now? I always thought it was too short to bother.

Am I suggesting people ban someone other than Akali when there are three items, one of them consumable, that will let you rape Akali in the fucking face, or there are more than a dozen ability-based champions that will own Jax?

Why yes, yes I am. I’m suggesting people think about how to counter someone instead of banning them while letting ridiculously unbalanced tanky-DPS champs rule the field.

Lazy_Shiftless_Basta · 2011-10-19T16:03:28.000Z

I just thought the Riven hate was interesting since a good Riven is almost physically incapable of beating or outdamaging a mediocre Jax or Akali, even if she has the counteritems for them. Also I really haven’t seen her jump over any skillshots before, that’s a new one to me.

That was my issue with playing with bans, it takes forever for some people to make their picks, and then someone just leaves and you have to do it all over again.

only good dominion game is draft games, else every single dominion game will just be the same 6 characters.

chequers · 2011-10-19T16:27:09.000Z

Yeah, if unranked draft pick had significantly shorter timers I would be a lot happier.

Enjoying the heck out of playing Ali in dominion. You can solo almost every character with very little and can fit in either lane.

Mini guide: Start with a sheen and 3 pots. Alternately boots + sheen components + pots. If you’re going top, max Q then W. If you’re bottom W then Q. Time your abilities so you hit enemies with the sheen proc each time it’s up. Try to fight near minions so your E cooldown (which is good for sheen procs and trample only really) is shorter. Pop your R early in teamfights, make sure you take tower aggro for the team.

Build ionian boots & sheen first, then a negatron/chainmail. Then a giant’s belt. Then build as many resists as you need. Once you’re doing OK (generally after one legendary resist item plus the other of negatron/chainmail) build a rylai’s with the belt. The game will be over by now.

When you are about to win, pop R and run into their fountain.

I just play non-draft solo queue Dominion and sometimes quite a few games go by without seeing any Jax, Akali, or Rammus on either team. Riven is actually really really rare, you’d think if she had an exploit people would be piling on to try it.

guppy · 2011-10-19T21:08:18.000Z

New Blitzcrank skin has an amazing name

maxle · 2011-10-19T21:08:32.000Z

I’ll be shocked if Graves isn’t nerfed fairly soon. Every single one I’ve seen has done insane damage, and this is on day one. Y’know, when people don’t actually know what they’re doing with him. A couple weeks from now? Yikes.

Lazy_Shiftless_Basta · 2011-10-19T21:46:34.000Z

I don’t know, I haven’t seen him run away with a game yet and he seems to have fallen into a decent but not totally awesome Akali-level place on Dominion. He also doesn’t have any hard CC or super mobility, so that’s nice.

I am questioning the Gunblade nerf though. I just… don’t really want it so much anymore. It has worse AD stats than when it was new and actually sucked, but the AP side is good and pretty much un-nerfed. Except if you want the AP side, Will of the Ancients is cheaper for more.

idrisz · 2011-10-19T21:57:37.000Z

my goto characters for dominion is ezreal and soraka(new), she is fucking op and annoying as fuck in dominion.

chequers · 2011-10-19T21:58:58.000Z

Soraka is good but dies easily to ad carrys with a dash longer than her silence. Have you tried Sona instead?

soraka is like one of the tankiest motherfucker in dominion, she basically outtank anyone in bot lane…

right now she literally walks out of entrance with like either 60 armor/ 50MR, not mention she get 125 armor boost if she heals herself.

I tried her last night right before the server went down, I killed Annie in bot within 2 waves of minion, she only manage to hold me off from her bottom cap point with help from irelia.

Yes, Soraka is OP as fuck in dominion.

Lazy_Shiftless_Basta · 2011-10-19T22:11:48.000Z

I have seen plenty of Soraka in dominion, but I have never seen Soraka be OP in dominion.
