Dominion

Dominion (or League of Legends: Dominion) is an upcoming game mode in League of Legends. Players will be able to play Dominion in a nearly complete state at GamesCom (August 17-21) in Europe and at PAX Prime (August 26-28) in North America. Shortly after this it will be released to the general public.

New Spells and Items
There are new or returning spells and items in this game mode. For instance, the removed summoner spell will be in this game mode along with a new spell Garrison. Garrison is replacing in this game mode because there are no turrets, instead Garrison either strengthens a captured point or weakens a captured point to make it harder or easier to capture or hold the point. will be replacing

Since the item and other items will not be available in this game mode, Riot has implemented some new items. Perhaps the most notable change is that the item Odyn's Veil which will be replacing the popular. At least 7 new items can be seen in the Behind The Scenes video.

Point System
Because capture and hold is not meant to be kill based, Riot introduced a point system. The more points earned, the more IP and Exp Points are earned by completing quests (similar to the ones from Battle Training) like Capture a Point, Defend a Point or even Pick up a Buff. Though kills are still there, they are not as significant as in Summoner's Rift or the Twisted Treeline.

Gameplay
The goal is to capture and defend up to 5 points, which are laid out in a circular lane. The lane and the control points are revealed to both teams at all times, regardless of who controls the points. This allows for a fast-paced match of 15-20 minutes involving many small skirmishes. To allow summoners to jump in the action from the start of the match, champions start at level 3 with 1375 gold and respawn time is drastically reduced. All champions are given a buff at the start of the game giving increased stats and everything else that Dominion offers that is not in Summoners Rift. In Dominion there is a drastically increased gold gain over time.
