League of Legends unveils Graves the Outlaw
League of Legends is a free online arena battle game that continues to grow its herd of hero characters. The game that is from the company Riot Games, recently disclosed an entirely new mode of game to play in Dominion.

Dominion is a new game form that was announced by Riot Games in September 2011. With this new game type, there is faster action and strategic game play played on an all-new map - the Crystal Scar. It features a new Capture-and-Hold play style. Players choose Champions, similar to the "standard" Summoners in the previous Rift games, except the Inhibitors and Turrets have been removed. As an alternative, the map has five Capture Points. If you capture any one of these points, it will turn it into a Turret for your group or team, and also it will allow it to start producing the minions that the Nexus spawned in Summoner's Rift and Twisted Treeline. The new game type is designed to be much shorter than the usual 45 minutes game. This is about 20 minutes in duration.
Riot Games regularly keep updating the game with new hero characters and recently they updated it with new playable hero characters. The most recent hero in the game is Graves the Outlaw.

According to the game's back story, Graves shares a litigious past with the card-tossing gangster hero - Twisted Fate. Apparently both of these characters were previously card sharks and grifters who found their match in each other. They, then went on to become partners for some time until Twisted Fate made a deal behind Graves back to surrender him to the authorities in exchange for greater power. Graves was taken in custody and only lately escaped. He now wants to take his revenge with Twisted Fate, who was his only friend in the world.
