Master Yi is the big story, but I'm curious about how the TF changes are playing out. The change to both his passive and Pick a Card seems like a pretty big nerf all at once. Is it playing out that way, or is his ultimate still strong enough to make up for those nerfs?

TF farms better. He's still a global presence with his ult, though his team's gold definitely suffers. Still, I like his new passive (selfishly). The W nerf is a weird nerf. You have more total time to select + throw, but the holding time really does kinda suck. Still, I haven't seen it make a difference on his ganking potential-- if anything, he's ultimately better at it with this update, just because it's easier for him to feed himself. I guess the end result is that, there's no difference, really, in the initiate-->lock-->throw if you're just doing it as soon as the right card comes up, but it can hinder lane zoning, which is what they wanted it to do. Of course, I'm playing high bronze/low silvers most of the time, so mileage may vary.

TF is still annoying as fuck to people who can't control him. I had a fkn Talon go mid and he was unable to control TF. So our team got fucked.

Was down to 1 when opposing team still had 30ish points left.

What. A. Comeback.

My last play won us the game. Low health Syndra and Quinn top. Quinn capping top, Syndra stayed to meet me in the lane. Flashed through her right before she did her stun, blew ult and ghost, destroyed Quinn before she realized I got through.

**Conrad** · 2013-08-06 12:17

so you're the guy who plays dominion

**bluefan** · 2013-08-06 12:59

I enjoy it from time to time, when I want a break from SR.

First Dominion I ever played, my team was down 1 point to 90-something on their Nexus, and we pulled it out and won. It was one of the most thrilling games of LoL I've ever had, and it's the reason I do Dominion as often as I do, looking for that thrill.

Who are some good champs/types of champs for dominion? I played my first game as Ezreal. It was pretty fun, especially once I got iceborn, but I had no idea wtf I was doing for the first half of the game.

**Viq** · 2013-08-07 09:05

KT B vs. CJ Blaze about to go into game five. Get hype

http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com....php?t=2152948 for a basic idea on champs but know it can vary depending on the skill level (like Vlad isn't great but I play a mean Vlad bot XD). Ezreal is one of the best ADC choices in Dominion. Bruisers are fantastic in this map.

Always have Revive. First goal is to get Windmill generally (top point). Revive immediately if you die unless you are guaranteed to get top without needing to do it (the enemy will likely have Revive as well unless it is a low elo game). In both cases, it is good to have the ganker champ gank bot depending on how pushed he is and where the enemy at top is. Pressuring bot is a great way to aid with putting more pressure on top making them come down. However, it takes a keen eye to know when it is proper to gank bot because you may end up losing top.

If bot is getting their face ripped it is best to switch him with someone else, particularly from AD --> AP or AP ---> AD since his opponent may have been building resistances toward that particular type.

Try to avoid capping their mid, it isn't the best way to pressure an enemy if they have top and are pushing bot hard. In rare circumstances is this a good idea.

Mid and endgame has a lot of possible jungle skirmishes. Having mist items (sweeper, lantern {lightbringer}) for champs with some kind of trap (Teemo, Nidalee, etc) is a nice way to avoid getting caught in the jungle especially if they are trying to bait you out pretending they are going to your mid or bot. If one team is close to winning they may try to pressure bot heavily to finish it so caution is very important.

Bringing up traps again, putting traps around areas the enemy would walk in (knowing they are there at the time of course) and some on the speed shrine/bushes at bot helps keep pressure off of your teammate. If bot loses there is a high chance you may end up losing as well. Bot has the most important role in the game that can turn a game.

And always build accordingly toward the other team. Mist items particularly for shrooms and stealth users (Talon, Akali, Kha'zix, etc) as it severely hinders them.

If there is anything more you or anyone else would like to know or want to play with us (though we're high elo so hope you don't get discouraged) you can add me "Torenia"

**Minnich** · 2013-08-07 09:49

Awesome, thanks a ton! I'm pretty damn low elo atm, so I'll probably just stick to sucking and adjusting to the game type for now. Definitely enjoying it though, despite being pretty bad,

**Meian** · 2013-08-07 10:03

I should mention that bot is pretty much top in SR but fever mode version. You have to decide when to push (if you can) based on how top is doing. If your top is winning you can push bot hard to pressure the enemy to come down to help bot as well, making top stay with your team longer as a result. If your team lost top you need to be careful with pressuring bot because the enemy may try to gank you. Some gankers can gank very hard compared to others (Kassadin, Leblanc, Khazix, etc). Choices for bot are dependent on how well you can push a wave and pressure an enemy, some of which are in that link I gave you in the last post. Bot is the most important lane again as I said as they can carry you to victory or be your demise. It is helpful to have teammates who watch the map to let you know someone may be going bot (ex: someone got the buff and they saw them heading down afterwards).

I always watch the KR broadcasts of NLB and OGN matches, but tonight I decided to watch the English broadcast. Montecristo and other guy are the best two English commentators across all regions. Chobra is a boss translator too. Mad jealous of that guy. Sucks that so much broadcasting talent is being used on the stream with 60k viewers instead of the LCS streams getting 100k+ regularly.

**Mrbeansman** · 2013-08-10 16:11

Is there a specific reason that the NA LCS isn't done with a live audience and such like EU?

**Deftscythe** · 2013-08-11 05:15

I think Riot just couldn't find the right space before LCS started. I saw an interview at MLG with one of the Riot eSports guys saying they were trying really hard to get an audience for next season.

Also, the english OGN broadcast is really good because, according to Monte, him and DoA decided that based on the fact that it's not promoted on Riot's stream and is on at a really bad time for most western fans, that the people that found OGN and stayed up to watch it would be the really hardcore, in-the-know fans, so they tailored the cast with that in mind. LCS commentators have to, to put it bluntly, dumb the game down a bit to make sure everyone can understand.

**Denchi** · 2013-08-11 09:23

Still rompin with Mordekaiser.....I haven't found a champ that's been able to own me. If I have a favorable lane, super easy for me to push/roam, or just straight up kill the other guy.

If it's an unfavorable lane, it's not hard for me at all to sit back and farm. Once I get an item or two I'm going to start winning in farm either way, so taking the hit early works out fine..... I should just go mid everytime...

Just buy 2-3 wards every back and it's gg. Morde's super weak to ganks, but if you can ward up mid you're pretty much 100% safe, as well as your team getting a great view of the jungler.

70-39 with Morde this season. (Silver 1 still :-/ )
