Bring Back Doom Bots? (But not for the reason you might think...)

So, I've thought quite a bit about this. I'm a Plat V player and really enjoyed the Doom Bots mode. Playing the hardest Doom Bots was sometimes very difficult, but the PvE experience felt very rewarding when you have a less than ideal team comp, but still pull out a win.

What I'd like to inquire about is if it would be possible to bring the mode back permanently. I felt that the difficulty curve of the Doom Bots (1, 2, then 5) was perfect for new players. New players generally grasp the VS AI mechanics fairly quickly with their chosen champs, but once they get a feel for a champion, the AI becomes too easy to beat in lane (as they always run away at a certain %HP). The Doom Bots, however, are always a threat even when low. You can't just crush them, as many of them had global ultimates that put you on edge. Team composition and strategy were needed at times when you got some particularly nasty Doom Bot combos on the other team.

While I play normals and ARAM quite a bit, it would be a nice change of pace to actually play a difficult AI mode and enjoy it with other people instead of the tiresome ease with which you can currently play against the bots. :)

I was not around for doom bots.. I'm in gold and even as a support main literally every role as any champ is an easy win in intermediate bots. Would like to see some OP bots to play against.
