Some feedback on rituals in the endgame mapping

I really liked doing rituals in poe 1 and I like the mechanic in poe 2. But it needs some love in the reward department. The last ritual I did I had 6k favor, but in the 5 maps prior I could barely make 1500 favor because crypt makes less enemies spawn in rituals. But all I get from my rituals are some blue items, a couple rares and barely any currency.

Sure I can buy 5 transmutations and 5 alterations every ritual run, but those drops a lot from maping in general. Omens are cool and all, but I don't get how alterations and transmutations cost double the amount of the base type omens? I got an omen for 300 favor, meanwhile a transmutation orb costs like 400-500. I think it should maybe yield more alchemy orbs for a lower price or maybe up the purchasable exalteds you can get from ritual. Maybe a bit more rare items on the ritual table compared to all the blues, or maybe give some of the blue items available a chance to have higher tier modifiers so you can gamble a bit making a good piece if you want to. At least I tihnk it needs some better rewards.

My last point about rituals in poe 2, is the audience with the king drop rate. I was hopeful that the 60% increase would also help with audiences as well, but I guess it was wishful thinking on my part. I have played for almost 150hrs (Little compared to some others, I know) and done ritual as many times as it was possible for me, and I have never seen an audience with the king. What is even more weird to me is that the atlas passive that gives 50% higher chance to get an audience is locked behind killing the king twice. I wish there were some ritual splinters or something that I could collect to make "an audience with the king" like all the other league mechanics in the game. I might understand why it's difficult to get since ingenuity belt is very powerful. But maybe in the future you could lower the drop rate of the belt and increase audience drops OR give us some way (splinters etc) to make our own audience the more we farm rituals.

I really like poe 2, but I don't like that my favorite thing to do in maps is unrewarding, where it kind of feels like I'm wasting my time on a mechanic when I could have gone breach and gotten rewarded for less. I feel like rituals and delirium needs a bit more love to stack up with breach. Again I like the game, but I just want to kill the king and have better rewards from other endgame mechanics that are not breach.
