Joystiq has just released an article saying that League of Legends's latest update "Dominion" is out of beta and ready for prime-time.
I recently decided to relent and check out the LoL phenomenon and I have to say that there is definitely something to it. I am not much on microtransactions myself (something internal has not yet aligned itself for me to pay for small tidbits of things I want instead of purchasing the game outright) but the game is forgiving to folks like me not ready to adapt into the new models.
I have gotten into 5 or 6 games myself and the learning curve is not too steep - the real challenge you learn is staying ahead of the curve for levels and finding team mates who are willing/able to play with a common goal. Community is the real challenge in a game like this and I found one game where one of the two other team mates on my squad was content to type incessantly about what n00bs everyone else was rather than play the game and try to advance the cause...
Dominion brings in a new game mode that changes the standard capture the flag model into a capture and hold type of setup. I am interested to check it out this week and will report back!

I seem to remember Tycho talking about this game in some PA news post. He seemed to like it...but I'm interested to see what you think after you've had a chance to really dig into it.
