The big issue with Necropolis loot explosions was not that it happened, but that it was only available to an elite player base for a limited amount of time and that this player base set themselves apart by entire magnitudes of wealth for the rest of the league's duration. In Affliction such loot explosions were less common, possible throughout the entire league and available to all players that would invest a decent amount of time into the game. Affliction felt like a loot fiesta but it was a party for everyone (also without MFing). Even after the loot explosion nerfs, T17s continued to dominate the economy but also turned out to be a nightmare to run unless you chose one of very few selected builds that could handle at least some realistic combinations of T17 modifiers. This approach excluded all those players from endgame that are already forced to select from a restricted pool of meta builds but refuse to narrow them down ever further by applying maniac tryhard standards. The Necropolis league mechanic could have actually compensated many players for the T17 debacle, but caused massive fomo moments in combination with many undesirable gameplay moments in itself and therefore also totally fell flat for the vast majority of players. Had GG launched the league as was (e.g. with scarab changes), but without T17 maps and the league mechanic, it would have been a far superior league. Therefore, overall an absolutely deserved F tier.

Mine would look definitely different but at least we all hate necropolis

Thanks for posting the VOD here as I couldn’t make it to stream!

I played on/off on 2016 and 2017 but really started playing during delve. I recall just reaching act 4 and thinking I needed a six link. So I proceeded to six linked a very low level chest piece like with 20 fusings or something like that and thought to myself: “this is not as bad as I thought is gonna be”. Now I realized just how absurdly lucky I got.

'...right above Talisman' lol

The thing with kalandra is it's undoubtedly a bad patch, and the league mechanic is also not good. But it's still got a lot of things introduced since Siege of the Atlas with the passive tree. I could not go back to a version of PoE without the atlas passive tree. Just because of that, it's imo still better than most old PoE leagues.

Archnemesis is IMO easy S tier just for getting rid of leap frog atlas. That was horrible. Current atlas is so simple and so good, let alone the one atlas passive, eldritch bosses and bases, altars which rained scarabs. The mechanic isn't good but not terrible either, just similar to metamorph, pretty basic but rewarding enough. Personally it also got a big boost for me as I dropped a mageblood this league in ssf, and even ashes which was pre-nerfed and really powerful. Last league to use the old rare modifiers before they go crazy with archnemesis implementation in the core game.

I have very fond memories of Incursion league. It was the first league where I made actual currency and ended up buying a Headhunter. I was playing a giga slow build and didn't understand how to utilize it so I came to the conclusion that HH was giga overrated and everyone else was just stupid.

Cool idea for video but the ultimatum hate cannot be ignored!

Legacy in B is one of the worst takes I've ever heard. One of the best leagues ever made IMO. Infinite juice with multiple beyond procs, insane chase items because of reliquary keys (legacy kaoms, legacy vinktars, ITEM QUANTITY SUPPORT etc) also the last league we got to enjoy CI Vaal Pact instant leech.

My first league and the last one the only F tiers. Anyway, Ritual, Affliction and Sentinel are my favorite leagues. Regarding Lolcohol & Omisid's list really I only disagree slightly with Scourge, Crucible and Harvest being C tier - I think they deserve at least B and the reason is that part of my "judging" a league is how much I learned and improved as a player. Crucible I learned a ton about builds I had never played by seeing the pricing of the base weapons/shields. Harvest I basically mastered my understanding of explicits/implicits etc. Scourge I just liked the press the button aspect like Sentinel which made running maps way more fun.

I played a surprising amount of Necropolis for how little I cared about the item editor. Just had a blast making money and running maps.

This made me realise that the gull was meant to be equivalent to headhunter. Saying that current day is crazy.

Affliction eventually surpassed it for me, but I also love/loved Delve and long considered it my favorite league.

The most cooked tierlist i have ever seen.

Expedition what the patch when all the fun from the game was taken away tbh. More nerfs? to make it more hardcore? no we need more diversity of builds yes so we need more buffs and nerfs over boosted builds so each patch we get meta shakeup. We need regular buff and nerf of the skills so the meta is build around league mechanic so one whole league you play slammers, next - CoC, next heralds, next melee, next SPELLSLINGER THAT WAS SO FUN, , Enchanters and so on and so on so game will have diversity and fun from trying new things and playstyles. When was the diversity made over that ? How many patches ago ?

Hey Locohol, do you See a world with your LS League Starter on the new Warden Ascendency? ^^

1:48:08 going back to this video after the livestream is hilarious

Last comment: The fact that Sentinel happened in the middle of the archnemesis mods debacle, and still managed to be a great league, is testament of how f-ing good it was, I'm sad of not seeing it in S tier. On the other hand Kalandra was a bad mechanic, with bad loot, in a bad patch, with bad overall community energy. Kalandra is Z tier 100%.
