A Few Quick Questions

quote Chimaira

1) What is Dominion?

It's a new game mode in LoL.
Basically, the map has five zones that each team must capture. The team with the most zones in their control will inflict damage to the opponent team's base.
The best comparison I can make is Control Point on TF2.

2) What champs have drastically been buffed or nerfed?

I honestly can't answer this one.
Jax got *bleep*ed over like three different times, but I think he's reached an equilibrium now.
You can always go back and read the patch notes.

3) Why do I have over 10,000 IP? I don't recall having that much when I stopped playing.

If you bought Dodge Runes, you probably got a refund when Riot took them out.

4) What champion should I spend some of my IP on? Note: I mostly enjoy melee champs and dislike ranged champs.

Riven, Yorick, Blitzcrank, Fiora, Fizz, and Nocturne all come to mind.

5) What summoner spells are the most useful?

Flash is by far regarded as the most useful spell.
You can use it to escape, and you can use it to position yourself.
If you prefer melee classes, you might prefer Ghost.

Ignite is also very useful. It deals True damage and reduces healing effects by half.
It's a killer to Mundo and Warwick.

Thanks for your replies Razehell and MegaBassMan. There doesn't seem to be too many changes made.

1) Dominion is another style (duh)

I knew that it was a new map but I was too lazy to read up on it, I just wanted short and sweet answers.

Seems as though the IP is for my dodge runes, I assumed as much when I looked through my runes but I couldn't work out which ones were missing.

I'll just have a look through the new champs and then buy the one I like the look of the most. Lol.

I don't know how long you've been gone

Vayne was the last champion that was released before I stopped playing.

Shen got buffed, and so did Olaf and shaco.

Sweet, 3 champions that I used to play. I'm surprised that Shen and Shaco got buffed, they were still quite strong before.

I don't use leashes anyway. I solo queue a lot and some people just don't help you so I don't rely on them.

I used to do blue first without smite. I'm hoping this is still possible, I'll try it in a bot game.

Shen was...horrible, for a long time. He's been uber buffed and then nerfed once or twice, and is now really good.

2) What champs have drastically been buffed or nerfed?
Too many to name, though since you like melee it'd be good to mention Jax was completely revamped.
5) What summoner spells are the most useful?
In order: Flash > Heal/Ignite/Exhaust > Cleanse. Everything else is either not worth taking or specific to a champion/role (aka Clair for Supports).

Alright well i didnt feel like making a new forum with a question so i will just ask it in here. i wanna purchase a champion right now i play with heimburg or whatever his name is i enjoy the spells and want a similar yet better champion... if that makes sense haha

i really like his missles mostly. i just wish he had a better ultimate. i dont use turrets to much though
