What is Doom Bots in LoL?

Ever heard of Doom Bots in LoL? Here is what you should know about one of the hardest game modes in the game.

Doom Bots of Doom – The Nightmare game mode in LoL

Unlike other game modes, Doom Bots was the first-ever featured game mode to use bots. These, however, were not traditional bots: each one received empowered abilities, making the game a lot more challenging and incredibly tough to win.

Three levels of Difficulties

In the game mode, Doom Bots of Doom were available in 3 different difficulty levels, and you had to win games in order to unlock the next level. The matches would get increasingly harder, as the bots would receive additional effects that made them even stronger:

1° level – enemy champions had Doom mutations to their abilities.
2° level – enemy champions receive Doom Mutations whenever they die. Fortunately at this level, Doom Mutations didn’t stack, with the exception of the Doom Bot’s personal mutation
3° level –  they get all the doom mutations and they could cheat in almost every regard, aside from having full vision of the map.
