Twin Shadows and Dominion

SKOBODO·10/30/2015, 8:55:49 PM·28 votes·1,833 views

So, the AP item Twin Shadows is getting removed. That's fine, but... It's the only anti-stealth option APs have for Dominion. Riot should keep this in mind and perhaps keep Twin Shadows as a Dominion exclusive item, or perhaps introduce some new anti-stealth option for APs. One option would be to give the revive trinket an anti-stealth active, similar to the Sweeper trinket but without actually granting vision. That way you could use it to clear some Teemo mushrooms and Shaco boxes and you could deal with Shaco and Kha'Zix (amongst others) better, while still not ruining bush-whacks. Another option would be to introduce some new anti-stealth item suitable for APs.

So, Riot removed this item without adding any new way to deal with stealth. They also didn't add any B.F Sword items (not even Essence Reaver) and they nerfed Pillager, which was already weaker than Infinity Edge. I'm not quite sure what Riot is thinking when it comes to Dominion.

So, could anyone with a PBE account confirm or deny whether Twin Shadows is still on Dominion? Any other item changes for Dominion? Did they remember to retune the items that got changed (like Black Cleaver, Liandry's, etc). Is Wooglet's still the same? Did they accidentally add any new items that shouldn't be there, like the new jungle items or the ward items?

They care!

...sort of.

We got a few item fixes last season.

And yet another option, we can make Oracles cost 100g, and it only reveals traps (to protect akali)

I cannot find that Twin Shadows is being removed on any of the PBE notes. Could you link this for me? All I can find so far is that Frost Queen is ALSO getting Twin Shadow Active ability.

I still think APs need an item that grants them triple-hit against traps for instant shroom clear if they bother to do it themselves. Likewise double-hit for ADs who decide to carry lightbringer, so 1 hit for melee and 2 for ranged. Allies mooching the vision to clear don't get the bonus hit

Is the TT/Dom/HA version of Twin Shadows being removed? I heard the SR version is, but I can't find anything covering how SR preseason changes are impacting alternate maps. I figured Riot would just leave the map-specific item variants alone like during the mage itemization update.

The old TS active is moving to FQC. Can you build that on Dominion? I know you can build support items in ARAM, so they're not completely SR-exclusive, but I don't really play Dominion.
