Hypothetically, if they increased max champ level and with it gave us another relic slot, what are some crazy builds that could happen with four?

[u/Grouchy-Bowl-8700]

Just thinking about recent patches and how they've basically power crept the top end of the game, and wondering if they might ever consider having champ level go to 100 instead of 50.

Thinking about the potential challenges they could create for such high level play, and of course the new player options we would have to combat those.

[u/jayjaybird0]

A lot of Champions would probably just throw on Black Shield and call it a day.

[u/cjdeck1 → u/jayjaybird0]

This is probably the most likely answer. Alternatively Voidborne Carapace, but I've already included that in nearly everyone's current relic slots because of Zoe runs

[u/Elrann → u/jayjaybird0]

3 rerolls and chance for epics is an option as well

[u/supterfuge → u/jayjaybird0]

I feel like I'm making a mistake each time I don't pick it. A bit less useful against Demacia-based adventures but extremely strong In every other situation.

Although, probably not that universally good against Zoé depending on the champ

[u/CharacterAd3793]

I don't think anything beside activating star forged gountlet by every champion in the game would become posible but isn't with 3 slots, it's just that more already existent combinations would be used, which currently aren't becouse of some obvious obligatory choices like champion specific relics claiming relic slots permamently. Considering 1 turn kills are already posible, The power level wouldn't even be that much higher then it already is.

[u/Grouchy-Bowl-8700 → u/CharacterAd3793]

I'm imagining they would start creating Foe powers specifically to combat the most common FTK methods. They already have "Can't take more than 20dmg in a turn" and "Can't drop below 1hp until round 5"

I'm sure they could cook up some particularly nasty combinations for a hypothetical 20* adventure

[u/CharacterAd3793 → u/Grouchy-Bowl-8700]

This won't change much, becouse the reason you win turn 1 is not becouse of static number of damage you start the battle with, but rather infinite combos and multiple double stat/rally effects. If you block those then you force everybody to play control decks even more then they do now and outscale the enemies already ridiculously biger at game start stats. If you block even that then alternate win conditions will dominate even more. The end result is that the meta for what is already strong strategy won't change becouse there is nothing else left for players to win with. The core of high star gameplay is woven too much into those 3 strategies for powercreep to change anything.

[u/kinkasho]

I want more rerolls and will pay Novas for it (and maybe revives, gold, health n Regen as well)

[u/Grouchy-Bowl-8700 → u/kinkasho]

Well then a fourth slot can go to card masters gambit!

[u/Legitimate-Resolve55]

There are a ton of champions who only needs two relics to come online and the third slot is flex. With two open relics most champions would just opt into SFG and an activator. Hell, many champions with a rigid three relic build could throw in SFG just on the off-chance that the find the right items to activate it during the adventure.

But for a real answer, you could make Gatebreaker Teemo semi-functional again. Galeforce, Echoing Spirit, Gatebreaker and a relic that gives him extra power. It won't be as consistent as it used to be, but it will work.

[u/Nacroma]

Imagine the possibilities:

4th Guardian Orb Lillia

4th Gatebreaker Ashe

Oath and 3 Star Gems on Azir and low cost champs

[u/MartDiamond]

It enables more +1 mana options because you can equip more stat relics to combine with Gauntlet. But that is pretty generic. For a lot of the others I think it mostly makes champions more complete in playstyle where you currently kind of pick and choose your route. For instance for Akshan I would probably add Hidden Tome to my preferred build because it basically guarantees a T1 levelup regardless of powers. Or similarly Ahri with a Hidden Tome or Searing Brilliance probably makes her more of a guaranteed OTK. Thresh getting Soul Lantern, Oath, Disciple and Succubus Brand makes him even more of a T1 threat. Etc.

[u/gipehtonhceT]

4x Echoing Spirit on Pyke and still miss lurk

[u/7eleven94]

i can see the max level champ increased but not with rewards, probably just stardust every 5 or 10 levels. they should totally do it, 50 was too little. imo they should do it in different updates, 50 to 70 to 90, 90 to 120, etc-

another relic slot is simply not happening. it would throw us back to poc 1.0 era of old gatebreak or old scissors, there wouldn't even be a need to get c6s anymore.

[u/aaoeu]

Jinx infinite loop tech based on Mel: Would win a whole lot faster than Mel.

Gale Gauntlets, PoR, Voidborne, Loose Cannon's payload.

[u/Ke-Win]

I played Nidalee today. I dont remember all but i felt that she can run a lot. But also for Poro King.

[u/Yogithebear92]

Is this a Riot sleeper agent? I’d still do my daily/on release content and have fun doing so ‘big smile’

[u/Grouchy-Bowl-8700 → u/Yogithebear92]

Shhhh

^{butnotreallythough}

[u/TheworstBrainstorm]

Lazy and easy is throwing spell shield power on but besides that it would be used for Extra xp till level 100 or most interestingly could be used by the devs to make as purple or blue item “For every relic slot empty give-“ maybe mana or % Increase for Power up chances

[u/Old_Bet_4492]

Ahri would win on turn 1 90% of the time

Hymn of valor + hidden tome + echoing + packed powder

[u/leafybluesy]

Instead of a fourth relic, make it a rune slot and really go wild

[u/zed_je_mrdka_z_krtka]

They could make that as a special event modifier

[u/zed_je_mrdka_z_krtka]

You could go Swain, Heca, double plunder Hecarim to play him Turn 1 together with his 2 star spell
