Just another Statcast Relics post

First of all, I get the need of more relics in the game, due to the recent EQ changes mostly. But the problem is that, the new Statcasts are highly problematic.

1- They are so many, it s really difficult to dupe and sig level up them.

2- They are sloppy made, quantity over quality, with just two attributes and two oversimplified benefits when awakened. We wanted something more simple to read/use, yes, but not THAT much.

3- The use of the same character for 4 relics ea is not a pretty sight, and really shows the sloppiness these we re made in a hurry without much thought.

4- The benefits are not at all well thought and by having them the same over and over is boring at the least.

And there s the biggest problem that is the result by adding all of the above: Even if someone had the slightest interest in relics, (battlecasts), now it s gone. We were kinda chasing the previous relic form for their unique utility and best match with certain champions etc, now all of this is gone, and don t really care what the crystal will give us. And this surely don t make players wanting to also spend money for them. At all.

My 2 cents.

Also, a question: Battlecasts don't have 7* versions yet. Why? Is this going to happen, like, ever?

To be kind, StatsCast should have been the first before BattleCast. It feels like they skipped a step years ago. so now they finally put the step into action which is fair… okay. I would prefer if they give at least two or one new Battlecast relics every month so they can fix the hoard crisis on battlecast shards which affects new or returning Summoners when join or rejoining the Battlerealm cause shards feel scarce now.

right before strikers became a thing there was all the rumors about gear being introduced. The community pushed back hard. So the relics came out and offered unique benefits instead of increasing stats like gear would do. Battlecasts were not impressive and it made it harder to create new champs that would benefit from the abilities on the battle casts. Without any reason to buy them, people didnt, so Kabam stopped making them. Now we have Gear wrapped up as strikers. If you dont buy them, they will put a hold on making more. Or make content that forces you to have them at a specific rarity. Its what they do. Not complaining just making an observation.

Really? I get the whole not all champions fit with a Battlecast like the Sentiel relic. But whole project got shut down cause of battlecast's heavy restriction on which champions get a full advantage (example: Gambit relics full pause, unpause after a direct hit benefiting Rogue, Gambit & Nightcrawler). Thats a bit extreme.

I agree with the same champ, 5 relic version thing. It is such a lazy design.

It got shut down because they're too much work and they bit off more than they can chew. But that's not the story we will ever get, it's only the story that has been consistent for many years.

🤞 they bring back and, do one new battlecast (3- to 6- stars) & 2 new champions per months (outside of Dec).

It bugs me that there are 5 of each type and there is, as best as I can tell, not even 5 recommended champions for any of them. And the recommended champions are the same regardless of variant. It feels really lazy.
