everybody would be buying Zod's and lower runes would crash in value. like ohm - Lo etc 1 fg's


You find a zod and then you could make enigma, hoto, cta, and fortitude all from a zod

Would be game breaking easily

I would vote for any of the HRs to be able to drop 1:1

This would make Zod worth as much as any of the other runes.
Higher up should be more rare.
This would preserve it as equal value or maybe higher.

Maybe add 25% chance to destroy the runes.

It would ruin the game very fast

Unless they enabled a harsh penalty like you mentioned

A gem isn’t a big enough penalty though


it wouldnt if there was a rare item to shatter each tier to 2 below. personally id rather just allow player scaling in pub games only so bots cant hide but legit players arent screwed by their trade game or what not being unpopular to join. requiring loaders to hit 8p or being a streamer to be first 99 each season is bs.

There would have to be a massive penalty to break down runes and at that point you’re better off just trading on jsp or trading rune for rune, I don’t see this ever working out in a positive way
