The next addition toRiot Games’sLeague of Legendsis calledDominion. This new mode is essentially a capture-the-flag style gametype where each team has to take over and defend key points on the map. The new mode takes place on the new map called “Crystal Scar,” a “highly contested, war-torn mining village” detailed in the debut trailer here.
Dominionis designed for fast-paced action so matches will last around 20 minutes on average. The new update will also bring with it new items, improved ping system, new scoreboard, improved announcer system andDominiononly matchmaking.
The best part? All this new content will be free! TheDominiongame mode will be playable at gamescom and at PAX Prime later this month. As for the release date, Ryan Scott, Lead Champion Designer, told us thatDominionwill be out very shortly after they’re shown off at the conventions.
