Arent you guys forgetting that the talon patch was like 200mb?
Id say thats large enough to be atleast the map.
And have you guys realized that when you go to make a custom game
you can click on one extra area in the map that gives an option to do a dominion game
i mean it errors out but this atleast makes me think that something is in the data related to dominion
and surely talon alone was not 200mb

Ya, they said a lot of dominion resources were going to be loaded on the Talon patch, also I think it's somewhat encouraging that we just heard there would be no patch.

I think they were probably trying to get it out today and just were unable to do it. Hopefully sometime this week

They said "no patch tomorrow". Does not rule any other day upcoming.

Aureas: The map itself isn't in the client. That is the big thing, since if they included every last thing of Dominion in the client, people would probably offline hack the client to play Dominion early.

Yeah, They said it would be released right after Pax. But seeing how pax ended last week it could be this week or even next. Just don't get your hopes up.

p.s. I want icecream

Season One "Next scheduled downtime" is the Riven patch, yes. This could change but right now that's what it's looking like.

Dominion is something I can't really get into. We're working really hard to make sure it comes out right and when it comes out the servers don't blow up with the massive influx of players + shorter games. I don't have a ton of info on what exactly needs to happen to make that a reality without going and specifically looking into it. I couldn't give you guys a date even if I had one. Sorry I can't give you a better answer.

Now i can make my homework and exams this week while screaming DEMACIA in tears of sadness
