Can We Get The Old Doom Bots Back?

Doom bots was the second special game mode i played (Ascension being the first) i have a lot of good memories at being bad at the game against seemingly invincible bots. But one of the many things that i liked about it is event though i was bad i still felt i had a glimmer of hope at winning. Each enemy had their own little buff to them, like amumu having his tears always on the minions and stuff like that. Now, as an experienced, decent league of legends player (usually floating somewhere in the gold 5 to gold 3 range) i feel like i have no shot at winning.

  • You have to take smite in order to stand a chance against the constant flow of jungle creeps and the giant end game mega teemo
  • The map doesnt look as interesting as the first doom bots map- the old one gave it a mysterious vibe which made it a fun experience *it doesnt feel like you can actually win the game; turrets dont take any damage, your main goal is just to SURVIVE not WIN *theres no tiers, theres just the doom bots. if i remember there were 3 progressively harder tiers of Doom Bots when it was first released and that made it feel like a fun progressing system. *the game is too focused around devil teemo and its stupid skin. in my opinion thats pretty lame, like the original doom bots got unleashed into the system and we had to defeat them (i think that was the story we were given) now its just teemo being a dick. like blowing darts across map. that isnt really fun to see just annoying. i remember a galio shooting out a Q ability and then having like viktor lasers and ice born gauntlet procs on top of it! that was fun and wild to see! it was interesting but this new stuff with teemo being the focus is just annoying

TL;DR: The new doom bots isn't fun because its play to not lose, not play to win. It misses the old gloomy feel and lacks the creative game play that was so fun about the mode in season 4 (or pre-season 5).

Time and time and time again they have said the old Doombots was built on the old Summoners Rift, and therefore, cannot be reinstated.

Actually... it's quite winnable.

Yeah. I liked the old mode where the objective was to win.

I don't particularly care for the current iteration where it's just to survive.
