New League Predictions

Mine after watching the teaser video dropped today.

Okay so all those showcased nodes are just names and powers of unique weapons. So next league is going to have a mini sub tree that lets us use unique powers from gear without equipping them. So, we're going to be able to wear mageblood and "equip" a HH power (I hope not that broken)? 4 unique powers or maybe only 3 because 1 clearly looks like melee and 1 like caster based on the icon... maybe 1 weapon, 1 body armor, and 1 jewelry power.

You talking about that strange "teaser" that for some reason showcased the Scavenger class of Phrecia?
Bring me some coffee and I'll bring you a smile.
Scavenger becomes core or they'll rework the Scion into a new ascendancy. The "so much to learn" hints at relearning how the scion works probably.

That mini tree is a Scavenger ascendancy from Phrecia league. Either they add Phrecia ascendancies to the core or they just add Scavenger alone. In both cases its a "lazy work" on balance, but still kinda good, because many of us love Phrecia ascendancies.
Considering hourglass teaser we might have to travel through the time to "learn" new ascendancies.

~30% nerfs to damage and defenses across the board. Gauntlet mods added permanently to the game. New rare monsters that take extra long to fight and drop 20 flasks at once when you defeat them aka the return of archnemisis, the second best and second most popular league ever, runner up only to the legendary expedition balance patch. Base loot further reduced to make up for the amazing loot explosions that you will get when you find that one rare out of 100000 and then call your mf culler and kill it in a party, which you will surely do, no problem.

See ya on league start
My prediction is that ruthless will become the core game and 8/8 will be the norm from now on in poe1. That or they delete ruthless completely.

If only lol
Time to slap og AN into the core game.
Flames and madness. I'm so glad I didn't miss the fun.
Scavenger League. You sacrifice uniques and get ~3 of their effects up either permanently or conditionally.

When you sacrifice the uniques they randomly roll to give their effects so you must sacrifice 3 Magebloods on average to get a 4-slot one. This will make farming more worthwhile so that players play the league longer. :)

Since breach tree still exists I'm going to go out on a limb and say that breach will be the best mapping money printer in the game.
