Dominion [Crystal Scar] Rework Concept
The Crystal Scar is in need of a massive rework, like SR, HA, and TT had - which is pretty much every single other map. The Crystal Scar does not really exist, so to speak. There was a whole back story in the Journal of Justice, etc, however it has not current meaning other than existing as a theme. The gamemode concept is great, but Riot has ignored this side of LoL for so long. Dominion is outdated, and it deserves some recognition.
Theme I propose a theme that the dominion map would be centered around: Spirit Guard Udyr's Monk Temple (Ionia).
Ionian Monk Temple The Ionian theme would place a more Asian-themed map onto the roster and highlight Ionia's peace, harmony, balance themes with the constant fight for the capture points. The map creators could incorporate temple tiles, cherry blossoms, etc.
Ao Shin The current two crystals in the middle really have no purpose, and act like fillers. By placing a boss monster in the center, it would allow a team to turn the tide and get the advantage. The most promising candidate is Ao Shin, as he was connected to Spirit Guard Udyr and thus Ionia as well. As for when he would appear in the game, that is uncertain, however I feel it could really tie in the feel of a constant struggle for the capture points, breaking the harmony, etc.
Gameplay The 5 points would remain, however they would be more powerful than before. Perhaps if all 5 points are captured by one team, they would gain points as well as take points from the other team. An idea would be for when Ao Shin is defeated, the killing blow's team would instantly gain all 5 points, which gives some leeway for the losing team to comeback.
Lore The lore could be two teams fighting for the harmony/peace of Ionia, where if the pro-peace side wins, the map brightens up, whereas if the pro-chaos side wins, Ao Shin wrecks the place and flies off.
Bloodmoon Perhaps during the Festival of Fire - in da lore, the map would have bloodmoon decorations all over as a nice touch.
TL:DR: Dominion map concept with Ao Shin boss monster and Ionia/temple theme.
PS: Finally found the right part of the Boards.
