The item added another level of strategy to the game because it made dedicated capture a viable role. By having that ninja capping champ, you force the other team to either pull someone back to defend or give up a free point. Just because you're not there hitting the other team's champs doesn't mean you're not helping your team.

My best friend and I played dominion together a lot. She would play Eve as a ninja capper. She would very often take 1st because of all the backdooring. Many times she would neutralize or sometimes cap a point a split second before an enemy champ could stop her. Now she gets to the point where she gets to a sliver away from neutralizing a point before getting interrupted. So for a dedicated cap, it does make a difference. Now she's struggling in this role so it's become a lot less fun for her.

People underestimate the usefulness of neutralizations. They chip away at the enemy nexus health and help take away the opposing team's advantage (or increase your team's), even if only for a few seconds, every bit helps.

Backdooring a cap point in dominion is just as valid as teleporting to backdoor a turret on Summoner's Rift. Just because that backdooring champ isn't actively involved in a teamfight, doesn't mean he/she is trolling. If I want to do nothing but teamfight to victory, I'll play classic. Riot removed some depth in strategy by removing this item and made Dominion more cookie-cutter.
