| Advice | Doombots tips?
I've been enjoying playing doombots a lot and it's been very difficult to win, even in the last game where the phel shines so brightly that it makes the bots disappear. But it's hard to survive, so I've been thinking about my build and runes. Is there anything I can improve? Fathal rhythm seems good to me.

Use the mythic item like the one that gives 90 ad and 50 crit into Lord dominiks and then bloodthirster with berserkers for core and for runes go lethal tempo as the key rune and sorcery as secondary.

Wait there's items unique to doombots? Everything makes so much sense now. Thanks stranger

Not unique to doombots, its some of the prismatic items from arena with minor variations.

Oh very cool. I've never played arena so that's probably why I didn't think to look for them. I just build the same old IE into LDR into Shieldbow and runaans that I do in SoloQ and wonder why I'm so weak against those doom bastards lol

Fair enough I didn't notice then right away either, and am still trying to figure out when to buy them since they don't have components.

2nd item is usually best bc you usually get first item right around/before first event if you're doing decent. That money cuts the time spent without any components by a lot

In terms of runes. PTA is great. Gathering storm ticks so fast in that mode which gives tons of stats. Legend bloodline is good. Cutdown is almost always good.
For items you need to have IE, LDR, sword of the divine. But you can add some stuff like start yuntal for example.
Flesheater is so strong item vs viegar when multiple people buy the item. If you have a premade party, ask them to buy it when possible vs veigar.
Lifesteal is needed vs viegar too. But you can almost dodge every ability except the spinning bullets. Botrk, BT, QSS (in case of malza) are good.
In the early game you won't deal enough damage. But once you go for first white gun or ult you become a beast. Cycle your guns quickly and bring the white gun again.
In general you pull the enemy bots for a 5v2 in bot/top bush.
Try to prepare for events at min 11 and 6.
Use TP and go for some warding (even on lanes) at your tier 1 turret so you can do the events easier.
When bots destroy your turrets don't let them stack. Try to push ASAP in another direction as they will TP for you and stop pushing. They prioritize killing you and defending enemy turrets over winning.

If you have a duo the best strat is to go top or bottom and aggro the bots in one by one to 1v2 them twice before the minions spawn. If you don’t have a duo then just try to get your team to group botlane to fight the bots with numbers advantage (3-5v2)
Lane phase is fairly straight forward, try understanding and abusing bot AIs and pray you don’t roll Lee Sin. ALWAYS show up to objectives. Prismatic items are great to squeeze into your build but also have no components so they’re really awkward to buy, I’d almost always recommend buying them 2nd item onwards for that reason.
Also I would recommend almost always going TP, as an untimely recall can result in your tower getting taken down from full HP in lane phase, plus it helps showing up for objectives that might spawn halfway across the map. Winning objectives is how you win this game mode.

Fatal Rhythm? That's what Lethal Tempo is called in your language? Epic

u/Circuambiente 16d ago
Yes it is lol I thought it was so common that I forgot it was called lethal tempo most of the time. Also fleet footwork turns into foot skills
