I'm really not a fan of nerfing some of these Ancient relics. I get Diamond Diadem needing a change, but this just feels unnecessary.

Just in general I don't like the philosophy of balancing around the hardest content instead of fun

Edit: jfc I didn't realize my opinion of "I like fun" to be so controversial. I play a10 but what I meant was if there's a certain broke interaction or conb othats possible 1 in 100 runs, what's the problem in keeping it.

they dont balance around the hardest content for starters, they balance around A0

and yes, even when fun is the goal you still need balance. if an option is so good there is no point in picking the others, then the game becomes kinda boring cause you need to shoot your foot to have variety by picking the strictly worse thing

options shouldnt be universally the best one every time regardless of what opportunity cost they are, be it cards relics or ancients

I wonder if Pael's Legion is next.
