First off I knew about this before they just announced it.

Here is a paste bin chat talking about Dominion, again this was before they announced it:
- [ame]http://pastebin.com/ciCSb04n[/ame]

It has some nice info about it, it's from somebody who has already played it.
Here's some quick info that I remember from reading it.

- Two actual lanes.
- New items.
- AD is really strong, while AP suffers a bit.
- It also says a release date, not exact, but it's pretty close to when it will be actually released.
- No jungle.
- Champions start at level 3.
- Champions start with more than normal gold (about 1300).
- Five gold per second.
- Teams start with 400 points, when you run out of points you lose.
- Holding more than half of the objectives, you are winning. (more you cap, more point attrition to the other team)
- Masteries will be changed.
- Promote is back again.
- Inplace of fortify there is garrison, it buffs your turrets, and debuffs the opposing teams, also buffs minions.
- Almost no bushes.
- No NPC's.
- Global 15% Armor penetration and 5% Magic penetration.
- No Doran's, but there's a $1300 replacement for Doran's.

Also, I knew this was real before they announced. How? Riot Games trademarked it.

So for anybody still thinking it's fake, it's not.

That's just some info I knew before they announced it, sadly the forums were down so I couldn't post it until now.


I saw this paste bin 2 nights ago and was talking to some people about it on vent. Someone keeps re-posting this info on the LoL Forums but it keeps getting deleted for some unknown reason.
