Dominion as a featured game mode makes sense.

I'm pretty sure I got a survey about something like this MANY months back. Iirc it asked me to rate my interest in a rotating queue on a scale from 1-5.

I like this concept. It may or may not be widely popular/successful, but it seems like a worthwhile endeavor.

For things like Dominion, Ascencion, or URF--things that are viable in small quantities but don't really have lasting value--a rotating queue seems really appropriate.

That's not to say they won't find another winning concept like ARAM, though.

Because to play her properly you need to manage cooldowns and Kite properly.

That's like 2 things that low skill players just flat out can't do, let alone simultaneously.

Kiting properly is a skill you need to have as an ADC in general, and her cooldowns aren't that bad since you should be practically rushing for 40% CDR regardless.

This reminds me of when I started playing and thought Kayle was a support because she had a heal and a shield.

There are better supports and she's better at other roles (?). and also noob logic in thinking that she'd be a support because of the heal, which has barely any impact.

I like mage supports too, did all my placements with Zyra (got Silver 4 btw - yay, thought I'd be put in bronze). And I'm actually really tempted to re-try Kayle support now. I haven't played her in ages outside of ARAM (even there, it's been a while now); she was my go-to champ when I started as she was the only one I owned (ty Rito) and got tired of her.

he seems like a nightmare to toplane against as a melee tank or bruiser. His E Passive is interesting as it introduces a sort of DOTA element. His Active E is NUTSO. They show him going from Base to dragon pit with it. It's pretty slow, but still!
