[Suggestion] different challenge leagues to encourage more hardcore play

Currently:

• Challenge modifiers (such as Torment and Bloodlines) apply to just one league each, both temporary. Resulting problem: Permanent Hardcore is very boring ghost town.
• Temporary hardcore league dumps into Standard. Resulting problem: players whose main interest is temporary softcore league have low incentive to try out temporary hardcore league.

Suggestion:

• For each set of two challenge modifiers, one applies to both temporary leagues, while the other applies to both hardcore leagues. Temporary hardcore league gets both. Result: interesting rotation of challenge modifiers onto pre-existing characters in permanent hardcore.
• As temporary hardcore league is now strictly more difficult than temporary softcore league, it now dumps dead characters into temporary softcore instead of Standard. Result: more temporary league players start in temporary hardcore league and play there at least until their first death.

I'd rather have them implement perma-death for hardcore, to be honest. Not much of a fan of this "dump into standard" thing. Doesn't feel hardcore to me.

That said, I clearly see your point and I think it's a good one. Question is though: would it lead to more hardcore players, or less? Considering how fun most of the standard challenge leagues have been, if dead hardcore players were dumped there, I think there is a good chance they would simply continue playing instead of re-rolling. I would for sure, anyway. But I'm not your typical hardcore player either, so. :)

I definitely believe it would have a lot more players *trying out* hardcore. Only a fraction would stay; most would still play temp league softcore. But step one is still getting them to at least try the green eggs and ham.
