The Doom Bots of Doom mode
The Doom Bots of Doom, also known as Nightmare mode, is a Featured Game Mode for League of Legends. The first featured mode to utilize bots, this is Co-op vs. AI with a twist: each bots has mutated, granting them empowered abilities. On higher difficulties, Doom Bots will mutate further over the course of the game - picking up the abilities of other champions, alongside their own.
Announcement
| “ | Get ready - it’s almost time for the next Featured Game Mode!
You thought Brazil’s Veigar Bot was challenging? Think again! We’ve souped up the bots to DOOM levels, giving them mind-melting abilities that’ll blow you away. Thought Amumu was already emo enough? What if Amumu’s Doom Bot is so sad he makes all his nearby allies units CRY WITH DESPAIR, too? What if Ziggs’s Mega Inferno Bomb broke off into six MINI INFERNO BOMBS after landing, or if Lux’s Final Spark burst out in ALL directions around her? Each of the Doom Bots have had their abilities tinkered with, and things most definitely get crazy when they get aggressive. Fight the Doom Bots and you’ll unlock harder difficulties. Bots with 2 Bombs respawn with Bonus Doom effects such as Anivia’s passive or Swain’s ultimate, while 5 Bomb Doom Bots carry TWO Bonus Doom effects and provide the most extreme challenge in this brain-bursting Featured Game Mode! The Doom Bots of Doom will be cavorting around the Fields of Justice from July 17 to July 27, and you’ll unlock a Doomtastic summoner icon if you challenge them at least once! |

Difficulties
- Doom Bots of Doom is available in 3 difficulties, and you must play the previous difficulty in order to unlock the next.
: Enemies champions have Doom mutations to their abilities.
: Enemies champions receive Doom Mutations whenever they die. Doom Mutations do not appear to stack, with the exception of the Doom Bot's personal mutation.- : Good luck. ^_^
While Doom Bots cheat in almost every regard, the Fog of War still obstructs their vision.
Bot Roster
- Despair has started making everything near him sad too. So very sad. All allied units within range of Doom Amumu cry in sympathy with him. His Curse of the Sad Mummy now also reaches further. (~1200 range)
- Annie can set alight nearby enemy towers and burn everything. She also brought her bear Tibbers. Have you seen him? He's only bigger than 10-stack Cho'Gath and his AOE attacks shunt people away from him.
- Doom Blitzcrank has powered up all his systems, giving him extra Rocket Grabs (fires 3 in a cone), a gigantic Mana Barrier and Static Field, and a Power Fist that knocks multiple enemies into the air. But it's definitely not him, so don’t worry.
- Cho’Gath grows in power as he grows in size. As he gains stacks of Feast (which can stack up to 10 times), his Rupture and Feral Scream grow larger. Like, multiple Ruptures in a 1000-length line kind of larger.
- Ezreal’s abilities have been fragmented into multiple energy waves. His ultimate in particular goes off 2 additional times, in 8 additional directions.
- Fiddlesticks can Drain multiple enemies at once and each of his abilities has becoming more Terrifying. Additionally, Fiddlestick Spirits are waiting to Crowstorm from anywhere you do not have vision.
- Galio now fires a halo of Resolute Smites in a circle and Righteous Gust forms multiple gusts, and he will periodically create taunt zones next to nearby enemy champions (that taunt enemies still inside when they detonate).
- Karthus periodically Defies Death while still alive (making him untargetable but still very mobile), and his abilities have fragmented (bigger, multiple copies and lower cooldown).
- Each of Lux's abilities explodes into a star of Light Bindings, except for Final Spark, which just hits in 12 directions at once.
- Malzahar's abilities have fragmented, and he’s brought extra voidlings with him from the void.(bigger, multiple copies and lower cooldown and about thrice the amount of voidlings).
- Morgana's Dark Binding has fragmented and also added to her Tormented Soil (a dark binding orbits her patches of Tormented Soil).
- Veigar calls down a ring of Dark Matter around himself periodically and his abilities fragment on minions (meaning he farms AP insanely quickly).
- Wukong's Nimbus Strike creates additional clones which knock enemies into the air when disappearing. His Cyclone also summons Decoys that spin alongside him.
- Ziggs' Mega Inferno Bomb will fragment on detonation, and his Bouncing Bombs have started rolling around, chasing enemy champions.(His basic abilities produce bombs that slowly chase nearby champions and detonate after a while, and his mine field has a much shorter cooldown)
- Zyra's Rampant Growth periodically spawns clusters of seeds near enemy champions, which bloom after a moderate delay. Additionally, her abilities summon additional plants.(Seeds appear somewhat behind enemy laners. She can put such seeds with more than 1500 range. She will also try to launch her skillshots while enemies are about to step on her seeds)
