I really, really like this mode. It's like a blend of Conquest and Arena, and I wish I was better at it. Unfortunately, I can't find any guides on it, and it doesn't seem to be very popular. Does anyone have any tips for playing Domination?

I've only played about 100 Dom matches , can't say I'm good at it .

However , people tend to grab left and right for starters instead of the damn mid . Mid is the most important guardian in my opinion ,if you don't have mid , you can't easily gank left or right and keep any of those safe .Convince your teammates to have 4 guys mid in case left or right isn't a target of the enemy at the start of the match , or 3 if the enemy wants left or right . Most of the people won't listen and losing mid at the beginning + having an enemy as or will make it VERY difficult for you to take it back .

Gods like or are very VERY useful to make enemies leave the guardian circle if the guardian is down , which will make your team have it easily . if no one gets any of these gods , I will .It usually pays off .

So , short version :
-Grab mid from the very beginning of the match .
-Get gods with high area damage (or make sure your teammates have one to make enemies leave the guardian).

If you want to handle tower stealing duty, Go for assassins with buff skills like loki, baka, Kali etc and build LS and Crit. You'll easily steal towers real fast. I'd go kali and lvl her 1 mostly. With Bloodforge and the 2 essential crits: Rage and Death, she can solo towers even without minion fodder especially with her speed and LS with her 1 combined.

That's how I'd do it. Kali owns the tower stealing business there.

okay so I don't play a lot of domi, but I'm always highest elo in that mode for some reason.

anyways currently there are 2 strategies

a 2-3-0
and a 2-0-3

this makes it so that while both teams get a "free" obelisk you can win a second one with a 2 vs 3 fight( no idea how to counter it except using it yourself or proper scouting which I have no idea on how to do yet) XD

to carry such a game play apollo, thor or thanatos due to the aerial ults.
they make splitpushing soo good with a bit of lifesteal of the obelisks.

an other thing to note is to "capture" a point you need to be in the smaller circle of the point

NOT in the range of turret shots!!!!
this makes fights very tense due to such a small area to fight on.
Do NOT LEAVE THE SMALL CIRCLE plea don't :c

Why people do that is because it's just not worth it: if one team goes 2-0-3 and the other team goes, say, 1-2-1, team 1 is going to win two towers, while team 2 only has one. Now you just need to defend those two, no need to go after mid, and you'll eventually win.

The one problem with Dom is that it's populated by imbeciles.

Personally, I prefer the 3-0-2 Comp. It's way obvious that the enemies' ARE going for mid( at least, most players prefer mid over the other lanes on Dom), so why not to get the others? It's a good tactic.

And yes, Talenhiem is right. Most Domination people are stupid. Good thing is, HiRez is looking to change Domination, and hopefully the matchmaking of it as well.

I don't have a good Domination comp. Usually, good Conquest comps also go well on domination. High Mobile Gods are a must in there.

have at least one god that can hold a lane solo vs 2 ppl minimum (so like etc).

And have good mobility, you need to rotate 24/7.

Get two towers and then just defend.

Have someone who can take down a tower/obelisk solo (, , , etc).

is OP as hell (works vs the tower)! especially on your god who can solo towers to begin with. You can also do a tower before minions get there if you got 3 , so you can basically go 3 ppl mid and everyone uses . Then you go left or right depending on what is needed.

Got under 100 games played, but it is pretty basic. Kind of like conquest, just that kills don't matter at all. All that matters is towers.
