Relics = Masteries 2.0?

Comments

They are absolutely not a masteries update. Kabam developers likely wasted the time they should have spent on Masteries 2.0 adding relics to the game, but that doesn’t make them anything to do with masteries.
Masteries have become the biggest waste of time in the game for me. Where’s Masteries 2.0??? Dorky Dave interview from 4 years ago said a Masteries update was coming. Where they at???

In the 2021 dev diary they said they were hoping to get relics out later in the year of 2021, and the year after that we would see masteries 2.0. It took until 2022 for relics to appear, so I imagine masteries 2.0 might come out sometime later this year.

I pretty sure the letters don't add up

Relics have potential, but right now, they mostly suck, are monetized too hard, and added a lot of mostly useless moving parts. Hopefully soon, relics won't only be class based, but become tag-based, generic, or apply to your whole team and easier to acquire on the cheap. There's not enough good relic options for them to fill the role masteries were supposed to. Masteries today don't have enough good options to fill their role.
If they scrapped the dumb masteries, tweaked the class masteries to be as useful as MD, made the useful foundational ones part of every champ's kit, and called it 1.5, it would be a start.

Relics are not similar to masteries even a little.

Masteries do have an impact. 0.6% incinerate damage is nothing compared to most masteries

Relics don't have an impact, YET.

Fully ranked 5*/6* Relics that: match YOUR favorite champ and significantly enhance their SPECIFIC abilities, will have an impact.

Masteries are only different, in that they improve stats across the board (IF your champ happens to benefit: deep wounds, mystic dispersion).
They are still stat boosters.
Relics are stat boosters, too. It is just hard to see, because Kabam is starting small.

I think Masteries 2.0 will be "coming soon" until the game dies.
I think Relics are the new, improved, highly monetizable "mastery" system.

Anyone else concerned that Jax or Miike haven't said anything?

I don't want Masteries 2.0 to be Relics.

Interesting concept.
