This player base is dense and doesnt understand how dominion works... Discuss!

[itsZea]

Anyone eles as blown away by the fact the people play dominion and have abosolutly no idea how the point system works?

I teach a least 2 people per game that you can boost a point and that doing so gives x2 points per second...

Mean while everyone is fighting over the front not gaining a single point...

Anyone eles have this problem or is it just my elo?

[LordCarmesim]

I don'r even know what you're talking about What is "boost a point"?

[itsZea]

Standing on a point gives 2 points per second instead of 1. It tells you how to "boost" the point in the tool tip on the right side of your screen.

In dominon you can obtain a max of 5 points per second. Boost A + C and control B

In most situations you gain more points by boosting then capturing or fighting.

Didn't know. I onlu stand on a point ro regain life.

Now you know! Spread the word

What are these points? I thought Dominion was go to the enemy spawn and emote spam to get one to chase you for the next 5 minutes...

I think its situational. If you have 2 points then sure camp one. But if your team only has one capturing the second is more important that camping the first and leaving the front line a man down. They would be 100 points ahead for the two capture bonuses right?

[itsZea]

Contesting a point stops point gain, so boostng your safe point is always good as long as you can deny points at theirs. If Both teams have firm control of A and C then B is important. However fighting at the front is useless when points can be denied/capped eleswhere. The 100 Points swings for the most part can be forgotten about because they are temporary points, the points gained by boosting cannot be lost just denied.

The only way to secure the win is to boost your points past the threshold that the enemy team can swing back for a rally.

I ♥♥♥♥ you not, I played a game recently where my team, 3 people did nothing but camp home point giving the enemy battlefield and their home point. Probably the most boring match I played so far but I did manage to kill two people before getting overwhelmed.

If i see somebody doing this, I instantly leave the match. Please, stop this. And help your team, this does not work against a competent team. They will double team the rest of your team while you "boost" a point, and they will have the advantage by having 2 points, which gives more score overall than a damn person boosting a point.

And another player that'll make me leave a team. You'll just sit back, hoard score and not really contribute to the match. While the rest of the team is frantically trying to capture the other points while trying not to get ambushed.

Killing each minion also gives you 1 point, so clearing out B often yields you more points than boosting A or C. Some heroes (Kensei, for example) shouldn't move away from B unless overwhelmed by enemies or either A or C is nearby, so he can be back on B in no time to clear the next wave.
Edit: killing enemy heroes in the middle is also important, cause you're protecting your own troops and not letting other team score points.

Not just that, but for the enemy to clear B, just as long as it takes you, will be the same for them, you can use this to easily overwhlem the rest of the enemy team, as they are short a man. and then proceed to dominate the points.

@DevilDaRebel
Im not saying camp a point and never leave, just know that a lot fo the time it yields more points. Owning A and B yields 2 points per second. Owning and boosting JUST C gains you 2 points per second simple math Leaving C to cap A or B at this point would be stupid. Capping a point gives you 100 point to your score but losing the point also takes them. Points per second never get taken away and are more important for reaching the 1k needed to win.

@Mus Canus
I and not discrediting the importance of caping Front, jut pointing out the fact that people seem to ignore the fact that points can be boosted. It takes 1 person to boost leaving three to deny points eleswhere or free farm the front.

The extra point works both ways though, they could be boosting one of theres and have 3p/s

Thats why i think boosting is only right if you already have 2 points. If you have one then they have 2 boot oppertunities and will more than likely be on more than just the base 2p/s :)
