      No champ of the week this week

      September 26, 2011 /

      Dominion Quarry.

      With the release of Dominion and a backlog of videos for both Trundle and Veigar, I won’t be playing a Champ of the Week this week as I typically do on Summoner’s Rift.

      In the interest of transparency, allow me to explain the Veigar/Trundle delay. Two weeks ago my hard drive started acting screwy. It didn’t seem like a big deal, but when I started to cut together the Veigar video, several of my clips became corrupted and wouldn’t work. After trying to recapture those clips, I realized the partition of my hard drive that housed my Fraps recordings was corrupt and needed wiped.

      I now have a new hard drive up and running, a fresh Fraps install, but sadly, no clips. I’ve been using LoLReplay, which means going through quite a few games and capturing important moments without the benefit of a replay feature, which is time consuming.

      The good news is that I should have time to work on both Veigar and Trundle tomorrow. I’m also planning a new feature specifically focused on Dominion, though I’m not totally sure where that one will fit.

      Keep an eye on the YouTube channel for the newest videos as I have them. If you haven’t seen it, check out my Dominion commentary video for some tips and basic information on the latest game mode in League of Legends.

      Dominion draft may soon force captains into lobby

      September 26, 2011 /

      If you’ve queued up for a draft game in Dominion, you may have noticed that the game doesn’t dump team captains straight into the lobby. For instance, I queued up for a game this afternoon and went back into my match history to check some stats. The queue popped but I was still reading some stats so I clicked “Finish what I was doing.” When I was finally dropped into the lobby, I was the team captain, and with first ban I only had three seconds left to ban. In my confusion, I totally missed it.

      In 5v5 and 3v3 draft modes you don’t see this happen because the client forces the captain to join the game immediately (and maybe everyone else – I’ll have to test it later). I made a post about the issue in the Dominion forums, to which Morello responded with the following:

      Good catch – will raise visibility on this issue. Thanks!

      If you see similar issues, I would highly recommend posting them to the Dominion forums. They’re much less cluttered than General Discussion and will probably see a flurry of Rioter activity today.

      FG LoL Mondays are on – 9:30PM EST

      FG LoL Mondays

      We are once again ready for FG LoL Monday night. If you’d like to get some games in with your fellow readers here, jump into the Fearless Gamer chat room (it is case sensitive) in the PvP.net client around 9:15.

      Obviously Dominion is out – personally I’d like to spend some time on the new map if everyone is up for it. I think it would be fun to get some in-house games going if possible. Hope to see you all online tonight!

      Dominion now permanently live

      September 26, 2011 /

      In a fairly quiet release, Riot has set Dominion live on its servers. That’s right, it’s live. On a Monday, no less. Unexpected? Absolutely. Even the unexpected I was expecting would have been Tuesday morning, so today was certainly a pleasant surprise.

      If you’re looking for a way to spend your Monday, consider jumping into some games of Dominion. It’s a blast.

      Dominion release may be this week

      September 26, 2011 /

      Dominion Crystal Scar.

      I’m hesitant to write this post, mostly because I have a bad feeling I will be proven wrong, but I think we could actually see Dominion release this week. Dominion’s beta availability continued through this weekend, with limited hours available each day. From what I can tell, Dominion is a completed project. All that remains to be determined is whether Riot’s hardware can handle the surge in players and/or the different game modes.

      There are also two quotes from Tamat on a recent rant about Dominion availability.

      First:

      Beta has been successful so far, we’ll have a launch date announcement for you next week.

      Also:

      Expect the unexpected. All I’m going to say.

      It’s the second one that really has me hopeful but also concerned. I’m concerned because we’ve heard that so many times it holds absolutely no meaning anymore. I’m hopeful because if I take that sentiment to heart, Dominion will be out this week. This week is the only week that would be unexpected. The following week is October, and that’s far from unexpected.
