League of Artists

A great drawing of the newest champ to enter the League, Ziggs. This is a truly awesome rendition done by kizeru.

Wisdom of the Summoned

There are many great posts in the forums at the League of Legends website. I like to spend time discussing league and theory crafting with friends. Along my journey I have come across some great posts from fellow summoners on a variety of subjects. I have decided to provide links to these in hopes of encouraging others to both seek out advice, as well as provide the insight that they have on a subject.
My favorite post I have come across is by zsjostrom35. It discusses League in the same way Bill Simmons does basketball in his book, The Book of Basketball. The post does a great job in relating Simmons' principles about team make up in basketball to League. Great observations on the the differences between individual and team success,  individual carrying, as well as team chemistry are discussed.
Take a couple minutes to read this incredibly insightful post and expand the ways you think about LOL.

Dominion!

Dominion has now been out for awhile and I think that it is great. It is a nice departure from Summoner's Rift and Twisted Treeline. The game is much faster paced and the fighting is abundant. Not feeling as if you cost your team the game because you made one mistake is a great thing. Dominion allows you to try new champions in a less punishing environment and also provides you the opportunity to utilize your favorite champs in new ways.

I will be doing a new version of Uncle Sam Wants You posts for Dominion champions and also be posting about the developing meta, as well as other trends I see developing. We are witnessing the birth of a game, the infancy of its meta and I cannot wait to discover some of the more interesting strategies that are ou there.

Have fun with Dominion and be willing to try things you normally wouldn't. Give champions you don't think would be good a shot, you never know what will work, and what types of crazy fun it can be when something works that is unexpected. Be bold and adventurous with your domination!
