my opinion on the new Doombot game mode

I realize that without innovation, the game gets stale, and people leave, and noone wants that.
I can't imagine this new game mode only took 1 person a few hours to make, and was indeed a large undertaking.
And yet other than some good milestone rewards for "forcing" summoners to go through the motions... there is nothing about this which helps one's main roster or effect other game modes and it isn't fun/interactive (at least in its current state, I'm not saying there isn't some potential if this were to be spun off as a totally different game, but other than using champions with the same name/skins, there is no correlation to the main game for the players. It's actually a clean implementation other than the inability to reset masteries / nature of back buttons.
I know in the past people have complained about why do XYZ when the game is broken / still people on that, and the answer has always been that its different people / different jobs... but this had to be a large undertaking using resources from nearly every team related to the game. The same resources could have been used on nearly everything else that could have been improved, ranging from champion tuning, bug fixing, economy tuning. For less effort we could have had more champions tuned or put the rewards into a new back issue / same back issue with high difficulty / modern rewards, get story mode out faster, or other concepts.
And at the end of the month... this going to go away? Other than any milestone rewards earned.. it will all be for not (which is true with most monthly content... but none I'm sure took as much effort as this).
In my opinion this was a well implemented bad idea, and coming just a week after Marvel-Poker... which I'd say was a slightly less well implemented bad idea... doesn't sit well, although that at least... I could see being changed to a replacement for arena (to get similar rewards as arena today, maybe modernized to have a chance to get the 7 star champ). This mode... the only way I'd consider it... would be if going through a round with a champion raised their sig-level by (n)... and have it feel like its contributing to the bigger picture.
