How is this league worse then Kalandra?

I actually like Kalandra, I like way how you can build own map. Shame that this model don't get to core game :(

I didn't mind building or running Kalandra either - it just wasn't worth the effort because the drops were so bad. It was all about GGG unwilling to make it worth the player's time, and I thought for sure that they would fix it (besides the one tiny adjustment) and each day for 3 weeks I waited for the patch..and nothing. Wow.

So...........does this mean that we can expect the same treatment for this league? Unfortunately if I was a betting man I would say yes.

I don't know, I had some dope items in Kalandra, felt rewarding enough. 300 attribute on single ring, or +4 amulets WAS a reward. Yes these were rare, but I prefered getting busted rings/amulets over 5 extra chaos orbs.

When you think about it - you could possibly make an increadibly strong twink char in standard. Busted jewels from Kalandra, OP weapons from Crucible, now if tattoos stays - we are getting more and more.

the core idea of kalandra wasnt bad but.

It had a few problems but in my opinion the biggest ones were.
the lake didnt make up for the lack of atlas skill point so you were mostly playing no passive point league's.

The ring rewards was mostly bad. should have had one of 2 things
1)smart loot there was already a rng on it since you can get a bad mod that got inversed bricking it. If it had smart loot i didn't notice.

2)more of them since most loot from the floor is bad.

Felt like most of the useable rings was intermedium tier items at best since the rolls had to make up for the fact your not using a influence base and you got inversed stats.

I wanted to take a look at the league after a while (as usual) until most things are "fixed" and the economy is more or less balanced.

However, as I looked at the mechanics, I found that I would skip this league, because it's not for me (too much waste time). But! I can see from steam that the start of the league (compared to other leagues) somehow does not knock down... 160k, and literally the number of active players fell within 3 days to 80-85k xD (50%). Bravo, it's a record league, although I don't know if it's worth fighting for such records.

I loved Kalandra League as someone who stays away from hyper-Trade play. The thing that left a bad taste in my mouth was the nerf festival around it.
