Dominion has finally hit League of Legends, Riot Games' hit multiplayer online battle arena title. Dominion is a new capture-and-hold game mode which Riot claims is "an evolution of the MOBA genre".

"With Dominion, we wanted to answer our players' desire for innovation with a fast-paced, complementary experience to classic League of Legends," said Marc Merrill, president of Riot Games and executive producer of League of Legends. "Now that it's available to all League of Legends players, it’s going to be amazing to watch them develop strategies and dominate on the Crystal Scar!"

The mode adds the following new features:

• Capture-and-hold gameplay: Summoners battle it out for control of five unique strategic targets, capturing points from the opposing team and defending them against enemy intrusion.
• An all-new map: The action in League of Legends: Dominion takes place in the Crystal Scar, a highly contested, war-torn mining village featuring stunning new art crafted specifically for the new map.
• Fast-paced action: League of Legends: Dominion is an accelerated version of classic League of Legends gameplay – matches last around 20 minutes, so gamers can enjoy a rapid-fire alternative to the more strategic, measured pace of Summoner’s Rift.
• Non-stop combat: From beginning to end, players will enjoy unrelenting skirmishes as they vie for control over the map – in League of Legends: Dominion, Summoners can expect an onslaught of one-on-one and small team fights.
• Down-to-the-wire victories: Matches of League of Legends: Dominion are competitive until the very end – late-game comebacks are possible and the outcome is always in question.

Just like classic League of Legends, the Dominion game mode is completely free-to-play for newbies and veterans alike, so there's really no reason not to try it out. Players will be able to use all their existing masteries, runes, champions and skins on Dominion.
