Hey,
So I play Dominion a lot and almost each game I'm one of the last people to top, this usually results in someone dying on our team if the fighting is unbalanced, do you guys know of any tips on how to reach top quickly? I tried the movement boost, but I feel like that makes me waste time.

P.S Random question, do you think another Dominion map would be nice o-o?

always take the speedshrine.
always take boots unless you're someone like poppy or teemo.
always run some form of movespeed in your runes/masteries.

If you follow these 3, you should be able to reach the top in good time. If you want to be the absolute first player top, run rammus or the like with mobility boots (not recommended, but that's how it is).

1. Play Rammus, start Mobility Boots and Ghost. Don't forget speed runes and 0/21/9 speed masteries.
2. Have a Zilean, Galio, Orianna, and Nunu on your team, and have them cast their speed-boosts on you.
3. ???
4. Profit

With Brutalizer start Riven (~20% CDR total), I reach top faster than most champs with boots 1 and some champs with boots 2. It's more important to get there about the same time as your teammates than early, anyway.

If someone on your team is dying before you get there and you weren't capping mid, that either means someone on your team immediately dived their team like a crazy person or someone on their team dived like a crazy person and your teammates fled (like crazy people) instead of bursting them down. If you were capping mid, then that's just probably what happened, rather than definitely.

While I was somewhat trolling with that earlier post, I've started thinking seriously about it.

I'm starting to wonder if a Rammus in that situation could actually cap windmill before the enemy team even got there, cause if so that's a HUGE early advantage to your team.

Someone needs to test this with a premade in blind-q to see if you can actually fully-cap windmill before the enemy team arrives.

Rushing to top does not mean you'll win top. Not to mention the rubber-banding system will kick in, so I'm not disappointed when the top is lost in the first round. 1 tanky and 1 range poker should able to drag thing out until the tortoise in your group reaches the top.

Just try not to be "that" person who charges in and gets exhausted/ignited/CCed/gangbanged or all of the above.
