Rotating game mode queue now live!

Riot·10/28/2016, 11:14:38 PM·4 votes·32,856 views

Team up to overcome the cursed Doom Bots of Doom and their evil overlord before everything you love and cherish is DOOMED!

Survive the mayhem… but beware what lies ahead.

The Doom Bots wreak their diabolical havoc with not one, but two playable modes. Battle the bots in standard mode, or test your limits with a near-infinite gauntlet of increasingly difficult levels.

You choose the difficulty setting, so there’s no telling* how long you’ll postpone your inevitable demise, but any players who defeat a Doom Bots level will earn the Little Devil Teemo Icon for all eternity.**

*Seriously, we don’t have any idea how far you’ll get.

**Any players who leave a game of Doom Bots forfeit their icon. Icon will appear in your account up to one week after defeating the Doom Bots.

We may be slowing down the RGM queue rotation cadence for the next few patches as we’re working on some new things. You’ll also see a few more repeat modes as we get closer to the end of the year, but we'll be teaching the ol’ queue some new tricks in the future.

Doom Bots will be playable from October 28 through October 31. GLHF!

Am I the only one that loves Ascension and wish it were always active?

Ascension is this happy place I can scratch a specific itch in if I want to just knuckle down on some good ol' constant teamfighting but without towerdiving (unlike DND), with dynamic fights and kiting potential (unlike ARAM), without extremely warped gameplay (unlike Siege, Hexakill, OFA/AFO, PORO, URF), where I can pick-ban (unlike ARAM again) from a large viable champ pool (unlike literally every other RGM). I know gameplay is warped by the ascended, but since the changes to ascended acquisition I almost never see anyone go ascended until late stage momentum triggered from an ace.

I, for one, welcome our back to back Xerath overlords.

Plz, replace one of Ascensions with URF, don't give us a reason to riot.

Omega CLC 10/29/2016, 6:39:43 AM5 votes

Do you still get the icon for doing the Teemoing or is it only the gauntlet? Because last week i beat the Teemoing a few times, but every time i tried the gauntlet everyone voted level 100 and we got wrecked..

Cosnirak10/29/2016, 8:29:03 AM5 votes

I would love to hear some reasoning behind the choice to not change poro king at all and to have two weeks in a row of ascension.

Me: Doombots is up again. Alright more lifesteal Sion with friends. Sees Poro King ALRIGHT!. Time to spam Aurelions Sol. They will fear the god dragon. Sees Ascension AWESOME! Im ready for the brawler domination. Sees Ascension again …wut?

Don’t get me wrong riot. I really love this line-up (Ascension is my favorite gamemode, followed by Poro King). I’m just confused with why Ascension is 2x in a row. Are you guys testing out some new stuff for it or what?

Lolololololol in before double ascension hate.

Can we get some info on what hidden stats the Doom Bots get?

For instance, you could build 200 MR against a group of magic bots, and they wouldn't need Void Staff to kill you in an instant. That tells me there's hidden shenanigans and that they have hidden MPen.

Soireal10/29/2016, 1:48:13 AM3 votes

so just wondering, who has actually won doom bots? i did today.

ProfessorTactics10/29/2016, 6:12:51 AM2 votes

Pls bring back the old ascension it should be a game where u try to seal the ascended

TheLastShadow4510/29/2016, 9:19:52 PM2 votes

Why Ascension two times in a row? I don't see the point of doing that. Can you replace it with something like AFO or nemesis draft?

TBH RIOTS SHOULD MAKE 3 WEEKS OF URF!! THAT ALL WE NEED! [slayer-jinx-catface]

Isn't A.R. U.R.F. supposed to be in rotation this weekend? Has Riot ever done a poll of what game modes are preferred? Maybe this would be a good time to start. Personally, game modes such as Poro King, Ascension, and Hexakill aren't very fun, but everyone favors maps differently, so I figured a poll would work well. OR and just here me out on this : A permanent URF mode.

Wandering Katana10/30/2016, 12:46:31 AM1 votes

ive won a game of doom bots but i havent gotten the icon and i played it when it was on last week

How Do You Meta10/29/2016, 1:55:32 AM1 votes

Do we get an icon for beating level 100 on the gauntlet mode?

SQ Troll11/19/2016, 8:15:47 PM1 votes

While I appreciate the effort put in to make these game modes more available, I cant help but feel like certain game modes are being pushed way harder than others. I've played Ascension/Poro King so many times its ridiculous. I don't ONLY want urf, but I would like to play a little more One For All or Urf or Hexakill, but i think hexakill should be on the rift, just my opinion. TL;DR - Be more fair on the rotations, make an actual schedule, not just throwing the same thing out. Suggestion- I know Riot won't like this, because the players would, but here goes - Make all of them available under custom matches, you'd be surprised how many trolls left ranked games, and how many others would appreciate having something fun to do.
