Bring back idols in some manner

I miss idols.

being able to hyper-focus on one mechanic and buff it to crazy levels made the game fun and exciting again. Now it's back to how it was and I'm just... bored.

Yes they were horrible to trade/farm/recomb but the end product was a glorious experience that kept me playing longer than any league ever has. atlas is like... 40% what idols were for mechanics at best, and 10% for some.

possibly:
1)
if you fill out an atlas wheel, an idol slot opens up inside that wheel allowing you to put a corresponding idol that effects that mechanic. i fill out a harby wheel, i can put a harby idol in the mastery slot.
2)
node at the top end of the tree. 'sacrifice half your atlas points, get 5x5 idol box.

just spitballing but i need that rush of 23+ king harbys back.

No. We do not need any more ridiculous juicing and scaling.
PoE players: Our game has a wide diversity of builds.

Also PoE players: The [league mechanic] doesn't need to be nerfed, you just need to play a [current meta] build!

MFers found strength in their Afflictions. They became reliant on them. I am not so foolish.
thanks for your input, not everyone feels the same as you, obviously.
The same can literally be said for you.

I hope you understand the long-term consequences that will come from allowing such crazy amounts of loot scaling in the game. The economy will be as bad as standard league if we allow such a thing to exist permanently.

the economy didn't break in phrecia and wouldn't break on a league by league basis. that's completely unfounded.
