Labyrinth and Abyss Variant?

While people are losing their minds over this years Hunters Market, I wanted to talk about something else.

As someone who's full explored Necropolis, I really really enjoy the content and I know it isn't for everyone, but I genuinely think Necro was one of the best pieces of content in the game. I have no reason to go back in and while I understand having Maestro be permanently locked behind it gives Paragons and Valiants to chase it, Labyrinth and Abyss don't have a reason to go back really (outside og Ultron), so I propose something. We haven''t had the variants come back in a while and why not try a mash up of the two?

Give players a restriction (not some bs like the OG carina's challenges) like Path 2 of LOL can only be entered with female champs, but also give them some kind of buff to go along side it (female champs gain an extra 40% attack per unique effect inflicted upon the opponent and on the attacker). Add some kind of trap nodes to the path (for path 2 defenders take 100% less damage unless 3 or more unique effects are on each champion, excluding defender abilities). Other paths could be around high hit champs, champs that usually have long build ups getting a faster one (like max persistent charges on fight win or each fight win counting as winning 10).

In terms of rewards for this content, we were just introduced to the new 7 star awakening gem crystal shards, so maybe some of that on exploration? Beyond that, for Labyrinth I would introduce OG ultron as a 6 and 7 star as a chase, 1-3 T4a on exploration, Path chests with gold, iso (those new greater iso selectors) and 7 star shards. I don't know about Abyss getting the same reprisal just yet but I think Labyrinth would be an interesting start.

    This sounds like a Carina's challenge type thing.

    Maybe I'm bad at balancing between the Carina's restrictions and Variant ones, the main reason I bring up restrictions is so that it isn't just a Kate/Aegon thing and actually encourages people try out other long form content champs like Northstar or Guilly 2099.
