its just me or this league is mid af?

anyone on HC is gonna skip once they have their established Merc they are getting on for the most overtuned content since Sirus influenced rares IMO with the upside of their opening being predictable to the player so you can cheese.

On the reward front the problem is their gear is actually pretty good, clearly uses the well rolled system and you see decent items on them fairly often. However that's irrelevant on SC because supply is extreme so 7-8/10 items are fundamentally 1c and on HC you are risking your character for 20-40c boots etc and even there supply is so high its dropping in value fast.

Its a pretty scuffed risk/reward, infact a very scuffed one lmao I lost a good character because i wanted to try out a cruel mistress

Edit: Also they needed a balance pass, not just on the obvious issues from fighting them but when they actually work for you, some of them are diabolically bad.

People are fooling themselves, they are literally playing settler league with an official reset and some balance/change patches.

No we're playing a heavily nerfed settlers reset. Gold costs are even harder to sustain, recombinator costs are insane, and dust grinding for missions is agony. The only benefit is that you don't have to build the town.

The circle of sweat.

You kill twice as fast but move 80% slower.
You get 80% more gold and merchants charge twice as much
0 mana cost on skills you never use.
Unlimited inventory space while in your hideout.
and the newest addition, Pause while dead.


marketing suck since Archnemesis

There is no risk if you don't care whether you die or not. Mercenaries do drop divines sometimes, other times they have pretty expensive scarabs. Not checking them is kinda silly

My hope is in 4 months we get a better patch with no last minute nerfs of preview items.

This patch wont be hard to top.

Whats your problem gentlemen? Are you not slamming this league? ;P

[...]

They added 3 new bosses. Have to check them out myself soon, but hello endgame stale? what exactly do you expect from them? Only problem are the EU server, league content is fine, mercs have been nerfed and there are new uniques and bosses, so nothing to complain

I am yet to see at least one divine orb or any valuable loot on the merc screen. So far the best thing I saw were a pair of 50c gloves.

Well to be fair, I've only seen a few divine orbs, and I've seen 'a lot' of mercs.
But this seems to be about what you would expect. It's very common to see 5-10c, or other valuable gear. I can't speak to your personal anecdotes.
