Dominion Basics?!

[quote=ShenMasterFlash]Holy god i get my ass kicked every single time in dominion. I have NO clue what I should be doing. It feels just like chaos, no strategy involved at all cuz everyone is new. I completely disregard minions, and just run to zones to try to capture. I just want to know some basic dominion strategy to use throughout the game. After capture, sohuld I STAY at the tower I captured, or should I continue to roam? Also, is it better to stick together as a team or all go run about alone? Lastly, I just want ONE champion that you KNOW succeeds in dominion, and how you build them. So I cna just keep practicing with one that we know works. Thanks![/quote]

[quote=omagma]1 name: LEE SIN!!!! he works wonders! He is a amazing duelist and can hold a point thank to his shield + ult. My items are the following: Basic boots and a prospectors blade, merc treads, sheen, Entropy, trinity force. After that, i usually just build more damage (i love myself some damage) but its probably smarter to buy a more defensive items. spend a point in each of his ability's, after level op Q first then E and W last. (point in ult when you can) His early game damage is crazy.[/quote]

[quote=L1LShadow]Concerning your questions, it really all depends on situation just like Summoner's Rift. Only defend if you have to defend it since you see enemies around capture points. You should stick in a group so that you can't get ganked and capturing points is easier. Also makes it easier to gank and defend. Only capture points alone if you can and no one will get you since capturing is important. If they are defending the points then that is when you push since minions capture towers aswell. Usually, tanky dps champions do well in dominion, but many other champions do well too, Xin Zhao is a specific champion, plus hes free this week.[/quote]

[quote=Bryun]Your team shouldn't be together, always split, you just need 3 capture points to win so protect and defend those with your life, take a mobility character such as [[Rammus]], [[Akali]], [[Nidalee]], those with global ultimates such as [[Gangplank]], [[Twisted Fate]], [[Pantheon]], or those who can defend like a boss [[Shaco]], [[Teemo]], [[Heimerdinger]]. If you capture a turret, and you are alone with no one near you, you should protect that turret because someone is just going to come right after you leave to take it. But if there's at least 1 other person with you you can either stay or leave it to them to protect. Hope this helps.[/quote]

[quote=TheJohn]#1: Capture a point and go to the enemy's. Of course you'll find someone on the way, just fight. #2: Try to backdoor. While the enemies are attacking, try to capture a point to make some retreat and defend. #3: Get a fast champion, or someone with a long-ranged skill to stop enemies.[/quote]

[quote=L1LShadow]Well if you capture 3 points you should defend it "together" since they can just leave one at bot or top to defend while 4 ganks the split team. You start capturing more points when you kill them. But if you don't have 3 points thats when you want to ninja the points next to them.[/quote]

[quote=letsgoROSH]Nobody is really terrible on Dominion, but some are miles better than others. [[rammus]] for example. He has incredible mobility with [[powerball]], and an excellent taunt. I have seen people build him more tanky dps on Dominion, going items like [[sunfire cape]], [[warmog's armor]], [[atma's impaler]], and then like [[the black cleaver]], and it works surprisingly well. Sticking together as a team is probably the best decision, but it really depends on the game situation. If you are winning, and it's a close call, and both teams could lose at any moment, you should probably travel in 2's and have one defender. If you are stomping them, just roam. I like to backdoor, mostly because it throws the enemy's team composition into a loop. They all get angry at each other for not protecting it. Some champions that I have seen excel in Dominion are: [[irelia]] [[tryndamere]] [[shaco]] [[rammus]] [[gangplank]] [[pantheon]] [[lee sin]]/[[kennen]] [[katarina]] [[nidalee]] [[heimerdinger]] [[annie]] Those are some of my favorites, and have seen them dominate in this mode.[/quote]

[quote=TheJohn]I think letsgoROSH playe either with or against me, cause Irelia is in the top of his list and I've only played as Irelia in Dominion ^^ The thing is get a champion that has either good speed or AoE damage or long range.[/quote]

[quote=Narcrush]I have been fairly successful in the Dominion betas and I have noticed on big thing. Holding three points in more important than trying to 4 cap, 5 cap, or trying to complete the quest. The only time I have lost is when someone half the team leaves our turrets and rushed the quest, while three of the enemies run around and cap the bases that aren't protected. Also, Riven is beastly in Dominion, undefeated so far with her, and Lee Sin is a great pick as well.[/quote]

[quote=ThunderVlogs]Champ: WuKong spells: heal + flash buy first: Ionian Boots of Lucidity Ability: crushing bow, decoy and nimbus strike (all 3 starting) items: ionian boots of lucidity, trinity force, bloodthirster, youmuu's ghostblade, Banshee's Veil and infinety edge/bloodthirster (wich u like the best) strategy: press Q and use E to jump to the escaping enemy to finish them. use W to escape, if that doesn't work you have heal and flash ;) ultimate relic + WuKong = BEAST _____________ result: even if you lose much more kills than deaths.[/quote]
