I'd lean towards agreeing, even though I'm sure this is precisely the phenomenon that serious minded preset 5 ranked players would call casualization; getting an early lead and keeping it without much contest 90% of the time is already what happens in Summoner's Rift, and I don't see why it should be in Dominion.

I'd like to chime in on this. We appreciate all the work that's gone into Dominion, and it would be nice to have the more skilled players rewarded(I'm not one of them by the way), but as others have stated, watch out for that slippery slope.

We don't want the game to be over after the opening windmill fight. One team turtling for 20 minutes with a huge gold advantage can't be fun for anybody.

Agreed. SR is already totally biased towards the first twenty minutes and the mistakes people make. Dominion is about fast paced back and forth, not a bulldozer.

another thing you might consider, a unique dominion buff for each champion. Some champs might be faster and more fun with an infinite blue buff, but others (Karth for example) are just insane with it able to spam their skills with no thought involved. Some champions might require the healing nerf to be fair, but some (Mundo) are made completely useless by it. Each champ should have a unique buff/debuff that makes them fun and fast but balanced for dominion.

Comeback mechanics are PARAMOUNT. Do NOT remove them.

If players are able to tell at half-time that the game is over, then there will be surrenders. Surrendering will ruin what we have now: a fighting spirit to come back to the top and win against all odds.

I have never seen a Surrender even attempted in Dominion. I don't ever want to see one, either.

NEW TOWER MECHANICS!

Each team Nexus have the same amount of defence power, and this energy is divided between the team captured towers. This translates to:

* The fewer towers you have the more powerful the towers are.
* The more towers you have the less powerful the towers are

The re-spawn timer is to much of an advantage late game, this would give the power back to the stronger team. It does this by eliminating the problematic "zerging" effect of short death timers, yet provides the opposing team, with less towers, a chance to capture again.

anyone think players should be rewarded for defending? Just seems like defending is important but the attackers get all the gold. Just my two cents.

I'm talking like +5 gold in addition to the +5 player skill points you get for hanging out at the tower
