2 might be used and the rest are just for brand protection. Makes sense to me!

I think it should be mentioned that Riot has not stated anything regarding Supremacy currently, only real fact we have present (and indeed in that article you linked) is the fact that they have reserved domain names for it. There is no mention of what it is yet. Some folks are suggesting that it could be some sort of big tournament as well.
I could be wrong of course, but whatever the case, I think people should avoid jumping to conclusions until Riot announces any info about it.
If so, Kog'maw and Xerath shall rein supreme!
Viktor secretly OP.

Dominion has lane bullshit?

There are minor laning elements present in the bottom lane.

Pushing can be good, but controlling the creep waves so that you can stack your sides creep count into a big pile can be really beneficial for the pushing effort.
Also, I've noticed that controlling the heal buff in the middle of the lane can turn into a very heated conflict, especially right from the start. I've seen many people waste flash just to get it at the moment it spawns.

Definitely grants an advantage, but most people waste it. As Yorick, I can usually take that time to build up my creep wave and I nuke 'em from a distance, negating the advantage that heal pack gave. People expose themselves stupidly for that buff.

Had the best game in a while for me last night.
I went 0/2/23 as Sona and we basically dominated even when they were winning mid early game. We had good map control, decent warding, dragon control, a nice baron grab, and a really good base push. They tried to quit, but 2 of them just refused.

There's always some unlucky SOB who has to play the PvE game bot.
It's a mode designed to emphasize champion interaction and reduce passive lanefarming, yet the predominant strategy is to assign someone to, surprise, passive lane farming.
Easily the biggest failing of Dominion.

You could change Garen's ult to that, would be cool IMO.

Now that's a good visual indicator.
Feels like wearing...NOTHING AT ALL!
No Teemo, no sale.

hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
Just have it like soul calibur. Parts of your armor flying off when you're hit with big spells.
That Kennen has a needlessly large rod.
Turn off safe search. Kennen, page 2.
I don't see anything bad really.. some weird pudgy tristana but that's it.

?
I do bot. It's a pretty strong 1v1 lane... Passive farming? It always feels hyper-aggressive.

Hm okay. My bottom lane was Mundo and Sivir, so I guess it was a bad idea for me to take top.

I freakin love this game. I wish it was 10 years ago when I was single and had no responsibilities outside of work. I'd be playing 5-6 hours a day instead of 10 hours a week. Playing as little as I do, I level very slowly and while I know I've been getting better, I have to shake off the rust every time I sit down to play. I rarely get to play more than 2-3 games back to back. It's very saddening.
But, besides all that, I enjoy the game immensely and I'll probably continue to have great fun and success in normals. I may never get a chance to try ranked because of the playtime issue though.

I like you garath. Dunno why, but I just do.
If you're not new to mobas, you could buy some EXP boosts and shoot yourself to max level. I think many people need the leveling though, I certainly did and I had played DotA before. Eventually you'll reach a point where you don't feel rusty every time you play. Give it time, leveling just means you can finally work on building your rune book. Draft mode is pretty much like ranked play as well.
I rarely play more than 2-3 ranked games back to back anyway. Too intense!

That's kind of a blessing though. This way you always have the urge to come back instead of getting burned out the game and not wanting to play. I know it's a different genre but that's what happened to me with Battlefield 3--I played it so much for about a month after release I never have had the urge to touch it again.
Lol. Thanks
I actually agree with you on needing the leveling. Every time I look at that boosts page and think it's a good idea, I derp in a game hard and shudder to think how hard a better player would exploit my mistakes. Plus I continue to build IP as I level and keep grabbing those runes. I imagine if I'm still playing as much as I am now when I hit 30 I'll probably just cave and buy the 7 rune page bundle. Level 22 now so another couple months haha.
This is my first MOBA though I was a pretty hardcore competitive FPS player for many years so I feel like I pick stuff up. Not to mention I watch lots of pro streams. It really does help. Ones like scarra, Ocelote or OddOne that kind of stream of consciousness while they play gives some good insight into how they react in certain situations.
True. That is the nice part of it. Though I rarely stick with a game period unless it's mp competitive. I just can't get enough of shooting people in the face.

Sivir counters Vayne.
Vayne's roll is strong against Boomerang Blade, her stun is hard to shield against, and she'll win in trades. Vayne even gets a speed boost of her own to help her chase Sivir. Then mid/late game Vayne will crush Sivir.
