I've said it once and I'll say it again - Dominion is an excellent tool to gauge champion balance.
Seriously, the community has continually spotted OP champs months before they've been "figured out".
I remember when people said Jayce was just "ok", Kayle was literally unusable, Urgot was troll tier, Lux was bottom tier AP mid, etc. etc. They were all facerolling in Dom before they were picked up by high elo/tournament players.
Granted, no one plays Kayle anymore but she's still just as strong but Kya'Zix was being singled out as way OP in Dom not long after his release when someone good plays him and now here he is putting some work in.
It's so easy to get a feel for a champ's potential in Dom because it's so much easier to get a fed endgame there. You get to try out way more builds and don't get a negative image of them from a few failed hour long games. Granted, you don't get a great idea of their laning but learn their other qualities much faster.

There's some exceptions but, yeah, Dominion is a great way to learn how champions fare in end-game scenarios. It's also just a great way to learn how to team fight period.

wow that troll.
Duo queue just means you are going in with one other person that you invited.
Solo queue is braving randoms on your own. I don't think it sends you into a totally different queue though? idunno though never thought much about it
Usually the game matches premade teams (2+ players) with other premade teams with the same amount of people, so it's fair.
But when people talk about solo/duo queue they mean ranked.
I think it's probably different queues.
Legend has it premade 4's get matched against premade 4's, and some people used to advocate not playing as premade 5 since the premade 5 you get matched against will be way more awesome and coordinated than you.
Solo people can get matched with varying amounts of duo/3/4 groups in normals, and with duo people in ranked (since you can't fill a 5-person team with only duos).
It's just regular double elimination format
Wha... I...

It's no legend. The matchmaker will try to match you with like teams first.
It's called double elim, you have to lose twice to be eliminated. Fnatic already lost before the finals, WE didnt.

You should have circled the ones you feel comfortable with instead.
That's true but it's more fun crossing stuff out.
Talon's pretty easy TBH? As long as I don't do something dumb like first pick him before I see the enemy's mid for sure I usually do okay with him. Course I haven't had the chance to play him at all this season because I much prefer Zed for being mana-less. Also, prejudice against AD mids.
I don't play Hecarim too well or much but I like to think I can jungle with him if I have to.
