Relics (not what you think)

Lots of relics have specific abilities that only apply to certain champions

Will these ever be updated to reflect new hero pool?

As an example black widow relic could have silver sable or Okoye added

I understand they aren't developing new ones but if you're going to introduce them in the first place surely there's got to be some commitment to keeping the existing ones updated as as the pool of champions grows

There going to be back this year also why update when they werent doing anything for relics for a year anyway as there focus was deathless chase

What makes you think they don't work with new champs? The black widow relic absolutely smashes when paired with black cat, a newer champ.

Bendy

I think they mean the added effects when using that champ with the relic

Mrmr13

Of course she does, but this is precisely my point

Black cat is listed as a champion that gets extra benefits from the relic, new champs should get added to this so it's not restricted to just champs in the game prior to the relic being introduced

Bendy

But why would they do that when they were on pause that would mean they would have to change the text to include her and test to see how it works which removes time from a team

Buttehrs

As explained once already, anything related to relics was paused in order to create the deathless champs. Now that they are done, they are going back to relic stuff. Be patient.

BRB has added benefits with Thor relic

NVM, I though deep dive said this is not true

Bendy

He has synergy with it the first relics doesnt have champ specific bonuses

You sure? I don't think they'll talk anything about relics until June. No mention about it on next Livestream notice, Hopefully we get some new relics soon.

Also some of the relic - champion specific interactions are useless. Like rogue with gambit, who tf uses rogue in real content? And Gambit with NC, NC lost the benefits after hisnbuff but the relic hasn't been updated for a year.

Yeah I read that the first time you posted...

I just haven't ever seen a discussion point on this specific point. I'm not expecting a change in the next month or even 3 but it's worth a discussion if it means it's on the radar for any improvements developments, even if that is in 6 months to a year

Buttehrs

There's been a ton of discussions but they all get relegated to page 3 or 4 because of bugs and ai complaints etc. Plus, kabam said there won't be any relic news until earl 2025 which is right about now.

Buttehrs

Well just because it's not mentioned in a quick social media post doesn't mean they won't discuss it at all. They did say early 2025 for relic news. We're still in early 2025. As far as relics being updated, that falls into the realm of they were working on deathless stuff for a year and didn't touch relics....at all.

Bendy

Yes it was confirmed a while ago i think jan on forums relics will be back sometime 2025 but revamped meaning new things might be new resources to use etc
