The nightmare is back. Since their last appearance in 2016, Doom Bots are finally returning to League of Legends with Patch 25.17 on Wednesday, August 27, 2025. This time, Riot Games has made the mode even bigger, harder, and packed with new mechanics that will push you and your team to the limit.

For 15 minutes, you and your allies must survive against cursed, overpowered AI champions. If you hold out long enough, the real fight begins with Doom Boss Veigar, who will stop at nothing to destroy your nexus. Picking the right champions makes all the difference—which is why we’ve built this Doom Bots tier list to help you decide who to lock in.

S+ Tier – The Best of the Best

Champions that dominate Doom Bots thanks to durability, damage, and consistency.

S Tier – Strong and Reliable Picks

Powerful choices that perform well in almost every Doom Bots run.

A Tier – Solid but Situational

Good champions that can work with the right team, but not as consistent as S or S+.

The current Doom Bots meta favors bruisers, juggernauts, and scaling carries. Champions with sustain, AoE, and teamfight presence perform far better than fragile assassins or enchanters. If you want the smoothest runs, start with S+ tier picks like Volibear, Mordekaiser, Jinx, Viego, or Darius. They’re the strongest tools against Veigar and his cursed army.
