why do people say never go bottom? when you throw 4 at top and keep failing, it makes no sense to keep wasting 4 out of 5 of your teams resources on it. sometimes all it takes is a small appearance bottom to get them to loosen their guard on top. people have short attention spans. the enemy team is going to be drawn to where the "action" is.

so annoying when people follow rules they made up in their head 100% of the time with no consideration for the situation.

Sending more bot can be a great idea in some situations. I have won games by entirely ignoring the 4 top 1 bot meta. The strength and weakness of the strategy depends on the coordination of the teams and their champions. For the games that I won, we were able to communicate and coordinate more effectively than the other team, and we took advantage of the fact that the opposing comps were much weaker when not with one another. The real real reason that 4 top works is that it is a simple strategy for players to coordinate with one another(making it good for randoms, but not necessarily the best in all scenarios).

i fight with this team that 2 rush to enemy bot it was interesting

ganking bot is essential to winning. You need to stir up chaos in the enemies tactics

We win top, then everyone recalls..... I'm left alone with 4 respawns coming at me way before the recallers get back to my tower.... I kill 2.. and ping at the dummy who decided to go bot and push the enemy's bottom tower (only to cap for 5 seconds and lose it right away, since it's so close to the enemy base)

Rinse... Repeat.

End game: 20-0 with 2 towers the whole game. 3 towers for 5 seconds... everyone saves bot.. 3 towers for 5 seconds.. everyone saves top.. 3 towers for 5 seconds.. everyone saves bot.... I have to beg people to keep going top .. but they only think of pushing bot. so why bother with top at the beginning if they just let it get capped over and over again. It boggles my mind to be called a noob for not being able to defend against a constant stream of enemies coming to top the entire game, while the bottom seekers get killed everytime they push. WTF?

I have to run from bottom to top the whole game to help them recap our initial 3 towers, because they're useless without me. It kills me to be teamed up with people like that.

Matchmaking should be ALL NOOBS together. may the best noob lead them to a win, where the best noob gets promoted to "half ass" and gets a chance to play with WINNERS next round.. and stay with WINNERS until he starts being a dummy. Dummies - 4,5,6th place. Winners - 1, 2, 3rd place. SImple as hell to implement a matchmaking query that's based on personal score. THEN people will have a reason to actually LEARN how to play, instead of thinking "that slave guy will help us win"

This is not a game anymore, guys. It's a freekin babysitting job. Match me with likeminded players pls god ffs.

A player who scores 1st and 2nd place every game, win or lose, should not be teamed up with NOOBS ever again.

85% of Dominions Players don't know how to play. And I'm stuck with them Stuck with dummies who don't know how to count enemies and counteract according to where it's needed.


You should see it when the team actually consists of people who actually know how to play.... it's like NIGHT AND DAY. They cap and defend, as needed. They only help when it's needed. They don't push unless it's safe to do so. They don't mindlessly go bottom when it's not needed. AND they know when to recall. I've been in games where I didn't recall at all because I knew that enemies were on their way. In fact.... they're on their way the whole game. I know I'll die eventually, and that's when I go shopping.. I'll DIE TRYING to keep what we worked so hard to get at the very beginning. TOP.

RIGHT GUYS? TOP is the game winner, isn't it? NOT in my games. NOT IN MY NOOB INFESTED GAMES.

I totally agree with you sometimes people go in groups of three or four instead of protecting windmill and leave me alone trying to protect. That never works because 2-3 enemies come and barrage me then capture our capture points and finally "DEFEAT"!

One is definitely enough to grab and hold bottom for the most part. However, there's a separate thread discussing viability of backcapping... which I think is essential in order to pull threat away from certain areas to give your team enough time to regroup and push together.
