Riot Games has officially gone live with League of Legends: Dominion, the brand new, capture-and-hold style game mode.

On the official website, Riot had this to say:

"Nearly a year in the making, League of Legends: Dominion represents the largest and most ambitious update to League of Legends since its launch in October of 2009. In Dominion, summoners do battle on a brand new map, the Crystal Scar, and vie for control over five Capture Points, a style of play never before attempted in the League of Legends universe.

 

League of Legends: Dominion is the latest example of our ongoing commitment to bringing you the best of the MOBA genre in new and innovative ways. You've been requesting new battlefields upon which to test your skills, and today you'll do battle not only on a brand new Field of Justice, but in an entirely new and groundbreaking game mode!

We've had a lot of fun playing Dominion and we think that diehard League of Legends fans will love it, but we also think that it has something to offer new players as well. The capture and hold gameplay is so familiar for fans of first-person shooters, that we think a whole new crowd of players may find something to love in League of Legends.
