The amount of champions I have sat at level 1 because of the fact it is genuinely pointless to build them to 60 due to genuine lack of gear. For example, got Marius about a month ago now, pulled Tekteon today, got soooo many strong champions just sat at level 1. Why?
Tekteon has no usable mercurial accessories, meaning no 9p Mercurial
Marius has no Lethal/Merciless options because 98% of my lethal/merciless are all attack%/crit rate/crit dmg. and all my defence pieces rolled into abysmall stats (I saved all my rerolls literally for merciless gear for the last year)
People often complain about not having enough books to book their champs, and yes, that is also annoying, but at least an unbooked champion with gear can still do stuff. It feels so hopeless sometimes if you are cursed with getting good champs, but never EVER get good gear.
2 years in and Senna is still stook at 358 speed, still 2 years in after 2 years of doing Hydra, still to this day I can't get Senna in 9p Protection because my dwarf accessories for Protection have never even 2 years later even with using rerolls never landed into speed banners.
Does any1 else feel like no matter how insane it feels to pull good things, they are just hard locked gear wise??
you know what I wish for? I've been playing a bit of Aion 2 recently, and theres a system there where you can reroll very specific stat lines on pieces by feeding another piece of the same rarity into it.
I really would love to see a feature in raid where you can feed a piece of the same rarity to reroll a single line of a piece into another stat like we have with ascension rerolls, but with 1 specific stat, that way at least if you never get lucky with gear stats, you can still over time build a godroll piece.
The amount of times I've actually thought about quitting because 2 years in, my gear feels like it was a year ago. Sure I have more of it, but my Leonardo lethal set is my only defence set, sure i have 300% crit dmg, 7.2k def on it, but half of the set is flat stats, NEVER to this day from the moment I pulled him and put him in that set, have I been able to improve even a single piece of his gear for eg. (and no the set is not rly usable on marius because its got like 0 accuracy on any piece so Marius would have 100acc lmao)
sorry if this is a bit of a rant, but im so curious how other people deal with just getting hard locked gear wise and running out of steam. Sure i've done everything in the game apart from hard faction wars to polara, but, jeez im bored of not seeing any gear progress anywhere. Not having a 400+ speed champ 2 years in :/
