Doombot of Doom is one of if not the best featured game mode imo

The Deckowner··6 votes·555 views

here is why.

##Low level of toxicity## I have not seen anyone flame teammates in this game mode. No one ever rage quit, no one intentionally feed, no one goes to all chat and spam "REPORT X PLS"

##Suitable for all kind of players## Competetive players can enjoy facing bots with strong abilities and challenge themselves. Casual players can also fool around and just have fun.

##Losing to bot >losing to human## Losing or gettibg rekt in a doombot game feels a billion times better than losing a ranked game or normal game, because you are defeated by enemy with stronger stats and abilities, and if you win you feel like a huge complishment.

##Enemy diversity## You will always face a variety of bots randomly, instead of enemy spamming OP champions like URF.

##Relatable to reguar SR games## The gameplay for the players part is very similar in Doombot and reguar game mode, so players who has no experience with dooombot can easily understand the game mode, and experiences in both game mode can be interchangeable.

I think it could easily be the first permanent featured game-mode. Most arguments against it like a dwindling player base eventually, population problems, and que times are almost non existent when you only need 5 players blind picked instead of ten. Also, our current playlist of bot games with almost 10 second que times is proof enough that it can exist without issues.

If you're going to make the claim that doom bots can't exist permanently, then you also have to be in agreement that regular bot games shouldn't exist either. The only logical claim you could make is that bot games are necessary for low level players, but even that is shaky at best.

Since I've been out of commission for about a week, not sure if it is a permanent game-mode or not, but am making the post regardless.

I Disagree.

My opinion is, obviously, biased, as i did not enjoy this mod pretty much at all.

  1. More than half of champions are simply useless in this mod
  2. Difficulty is fine addition untill you get idiots WHO HAVE TO PLAY ON LEVEL 100!!!111 (even though they can't beat level 10 bots)
  3. Toxicity is there. Just instead 10 players, you have 5.
  4. "Enemy diversity" is a very weak and lame joke. There are like 8 doom bots. And there are obvious OPs among doom bots like Ez/Lux/Malz/Brand/Udyr
  5. The "difficulty" as "skill" is pretty much non existant. Bots dont play better. they just win by relying on tons of HP/damage reductions and ability spamming.
  6. Final Boss.. Is.. simply damage sponge. And that would be fine if he weren't %hp damage resistant. So you cannot win against him unless you get some sick lategame most-OP champion.
  7. As much as I love Turret defense mode, clearing waves after waves. i have to admit, this was lame. Killed a doombot, 3 seconds later he reappears and pushes turret with new items. Cooooooooooooooool...not.
  8. Last one: This game mode in solo. IS. SIMPLY. AWFUL.

Ofc that's only negatives. Here are some good points:

  • You get icon if you win eventually
  • Once in a while you get team that uses brain, sets level to 1 and picks best champions they can
  • gold income is quite fast good
  • Riot forgot to ban Sion, so there's always a chance to actually beat this in easier mode -.... Hmm.. Oh there are some buffs for killing bots. Shame those are so lame and out of ass. Still, it's something.

I somewhat disagree, the fact that only ranged champions with good wave clear are viable kinda ruins it, if they would just remove all the ridiculous bonus stats they get melee champions could actually be viable.
