What is Doom Bots?

Doom Bots is a PVE rotating game mode that is finally getting it’s re-release after many years, although this time the team at Riot has made several new additions. You and your teammates will have 15 minutes to survive against a team of aggressive and powerful bots.

If you’re lucky enough to survive all 15 minutes, you will be teleported back down to your nexus for a final boss fight against the Doom Boss, Veigar. Survive all 3 waves of Veigar’s AOE attacks and curses, and you’ll secure the victory!

Below is a preliminary tier list based on PBE gameplay, with more champions to be added in the coming weeks. Click any champion to view their best build.

Mini Challenges

Throughout the game, you’ll encounter mini challenges that players must complete within a 2 minute timeframe. If you successfully complete a challenge, you get rewarded with a sizable amount of gold. However, if you don’t complete the challenge by the time the 2 minute timer runs out, the bots will become much stronger and more difficult to deal with for the remainder of the game.

Final Boss Encounter – Doom Boss Veigar

Once you survive all 15 minutes, you will be teleported back with your team to your nexus, thus beginning the final boss fight against Veigar. Veigar has 3 different waves you’ll need to get through before claiming victory. Each wave includes mini-challenges that you must complete in order to continue to damage down Veigar’s health.

The general strategy is to dodge as much of Veigar’s AOE attacks as possible, while sustaining consistent damage against him. If you die, you will have to wait to respawn before jumping back into the fight. Be careful though, if no one on the team is around to attack Veigar, he will start attacking your nexus and potentially lead your team to a loss.
