@RGM Blamers: You need to understand why BMB or Doom Bots will not appear in RGM for a while...

If Riot does something right (they actually do a lot right, but put the DynamicQ hate away for the moment), then it's surprising us and catching our curiosity. I'm pretty sure you didn't miss this teaser and thought "Oh sh*t, that will be awesome" in any form.

The focus on Doom Bots and Black Market Brawlers were the extra new stuff they brought in, either special items or special champions. We all had fun with the Trickster's Glass and several other items. Same goes for the doom bots with 15 different champions last time.

So why are those not coming back when the Rotating Game Mode Queues were released? Because these two modes needs some kind of progress, means:

  • Black Market Brawlers: New items which are neither broken nor weak (balancing is a hard thing, you know), including at least two replacements for item 3802 and item 3742 (which were BMB exclusive items, but now found a place in the general item shop in League).

  • Doom Bots: Some new AI, primarily latest champions with AI (some of the recent, but lesser complex champions. Let's say: AurelionSol, Jhin, Illaoi, Braum, Velkoz and some others).

I mean...wouldn't it be some kind of boring to play with and against the same stuff?

Also I think there are more reasons why Riot didn't put these game modes in the queue, but also didn't give a statement about it (which seems better in my opinion. If they do, the internet will be the internet and this causes more discussions).

Oh. And about the other game modes:

  • Nemesis Draft: Currently with no reason since it was an average game mode with average popularity. Why it isn't in the queue? Who knows? Balancing? Problems with current Draft Pick client? Lunar Revel exclusive? I slightly miss it, but I can live without the mode.

  • One for All: Mirror Mode: Way too unpopular. It won't return in the RGMQ.

  • Snowdown Showdown: The greatest mystery and the thing I would complain most (if I would be the type of human who likes to complain about stuff). To list my favorite game modes: OfA > Snowdown Showdown == URF > All other Game Modes. This is a perfect dueling enviroment (especially for toplaners) where you can play League of Legends in a way you can show your skills, without help of other teammates. It's still there; the mode was part of the All-Stars 2016! But I guess they didn't bring it back since it involved no "friends" to play with (Whoops. We just landed back on the DynamicQ hate, sry).

I also want to hear your opinion about that since this is just theorycrafting I made here.

When it does come back Doom Bots needs this:

Illaoi TENTACLES EVERYWHERE. Being anywhere near her would turn you into a vessel (which makes tentacles spawn alot more and attack you on sight).

The main reason why I want BMB back is because of Trickster's Glass. I loved this item. This item was so fun that I would build it even on AD champions (Trickster's Glass is an AP item). It was very fun to disguise myself as a poor, harmless Lulu, only to then instantly leap on them, use Taste Their Fear, and kill them because I was actually a Kha'Zix and they were isolated.

Then again, I can wait patiently the time that is needed.

I can imagine doom bot aurelion new effect on passive:Inner and Outer ring,aurelion now has a permanent ring close to him(that is not disabled when cc'd) and the normal ringlets outside that can be used in conjunction with his W E:Speed increased Q:gains size even faster R:Fires a Q when cast(does not trigger Q cooldown)

Doom bot Vel koz Passive:nothing changed Q:Maximum geometry,fire 3 more bolts 1 firing forward the others firing sideways W:Slows targets E:Your E fires 4 smaller E's around it when it lands R:fire 5 beams in a cone,damage stacks if targets are in multiple lines

Doom bot Jhin W and R become global,R fires in a 360* angle instead of a cone,R slows for 99 percent E:AOE size greatly increased Passive bonus increased auto attack ranged increased to 600,all tribushes now have 5 E's placed in the center,Getting hit by multiple E's doesn't do reduced dmg

Doom bot Illaoi

Passive:Spawn 1-2 at a time and can't be destroyed Q cast time reduced W:does double dmg to vessels E:Instantly spawn a tentacle after hitting E,Tentacles activate faster R:spawn 2 tentacles for every enemy champion and spawn 3 tentacles for a vessel

Doom bot braum

passive:requires 3 stacks for a stun and slows after the stun is over Q:applies 2 stacks of concussion W:jump to an ally,if they have less resitances make there resistances match yours E:you make a wall on all sides R:Do it in 4 directions

I kinda want Nemesis draft for a weekend. Particularly after that poro king pick the most cancer aram picks sessions. It was one of the few game modes that didn't premier with an unlockable icon.. because Riot was afraid to entice people to play it..?

I assume if they bring back Doom Bots, they'll make Aurelion's passive one of those Bonus Doom traits the higher level doom bots can pick up.
