I would love some update on the future for relics! Does anybody have any inside knowledge on when we might get an update?

Relic nodes are being released very often where the relic actually makes a huge difference in finishing the match but if you have a large enough roster, there arent enough relics for all your top champs. I have had to restart a quest a couple of times because i forgot whether the champ i selected had a relic on and was going down a relic node pathway.
Either discontinue completely (including nodes) or restart new releases but not as aggressively. Most people were opposed to relics replacing better rewards from side quests and events. They werent opposed to relics themselves.
Given it clearly hasn't been a priority in that time, couple with the fact they're operating with a reduced staff now, it's fair to assume they'll have even less attention now.
I've been saving these for the day they finally release new relics. I could do the community a favor and pop them all now though. Murphy's Law would stipulate that the moment I do that, they'll introduce new relics.
I don’t like strikers,..i think 15 hit combos (or whatever it is), are ridiculous and take away from the fundamentals of how the game was actually played.
I don’t use them for ANY game mode except for when they are a requirement such as act 8 and then i unbound them once i explored that.
I still have a 6 star 1-2 and 2-3 relic rank up gem sitting in my inventory i haven’t used and have no interest in using.
A unnecessary addition to an already complicated game imo.
May get some hate from the “relic lovers”,..but that’s okay, everyone’s entitled to their own opinion.
I will further wait and see
Y'all hate something you won't understand. We really need more relics and relic based rewards in the game.
However as thing developed, I do really appreciate that some relics are make a big impact to certain champs (although really we are looking at 5 and 6* relic really). Also one of my fav champ (alway put a smile to my face when I get to use) is Silk and she was design with relic required.
Which essentially lead to the next point, and maybe the tricky part for Kabam, how the game been designed since Relic was introduced, make most content and game play require the need for Relic, which mean it is impossible to remove them from the game.
However at the same time I can only imagine it is very hard to design Relic so they can be impactful but also not break with game, taking into consideration or 60+ champs of each class that interact with it.
While also making it financially positive.
I would suggestion maybe Relic that have general, but also apply very specific benefits to only 1 champ.
For example, a general Mutant relic give extra 10% of whatever ramp up charges that unique to that champ (this would be different between, Weapon X, Stryfe and Kitty), 10% is little so won't break the game in anyway, but have a specific note that give Apo 3 charges on Attack.
This is straight away make Apo extremely meta.
In doing so players would want to hunt for this Relic, i.e portential generate income.
Look i don’t like relics or the mechanics of them, and i have not found that it is diminishing my game play by not having them equipped.
I also have a r2 7 star Venom and he is very much worth that rank up with or without the relic …imo.
I don’t think it’s ignorant to dislike something within a game and to have a viewpoint on that.
I don’t like relics,..and i don’t think it’s made a great impact on the game or even made it that much better.
But again,..that is just my opinion
…and you are more than entitled to your own.
Not only does it do that, but it helps weave in a lot of champ rotations. It’s integral to champs like Silk and champs like Onslaught (and others with heavy attack abilities) greatly benefit from the striker stun. Domino can now place a bleed on herself for increased damage, OR can activate death field etc. So yes, there is a big impact that these have made. That’s not even covering how good the gambit relic is for crit, SW can make Kushala’s block regen even better and many more. Venom is good without the relic but the relic makes him much better so I don’t get your point here
You can keep loving relics and i can continue to ignore them.
That’s the beauty of it all,..it’s personal preference and choice.
It’s funny that you mentioned silk because i got her very early on and duped several times when she was first released in the featured 6 star crystal,..and i didn’t rank her up specially because of this,.. that’s how much i dislike relics.
But it’s okay i got photon duped as a 7 star,..i will survive lol.
