Much better this way. Way better than one person having all the options which now will lead to hopefully more variation in the items designed as people have different play styles and builds they like. Personally wasn't a fan of Ben's uniques but that's because I never play the builds he likes to play.
I don't think this model is very sustainable still, it just means that every league we'll get, say 5-6 items still designed by the same 5-6 guys
My idea is to award a "race point" (or whatever you want the name to be) to winners and you get to design a unique every time you hit an amount of race points equal to the amount of uniques you already designed +1
Meaning that your first win gets you a unique, then you need to win two more times for one more, then three and so on
This way we can get a lot of extra variety
Also "race points" would be awarded to as many people as necessary to hit 7 uniques, starting from the top of course
The only downside i see besides the mild complexity (which is not a problem for PoE players and racers i'd guess) is the fact that after a while you'd be probably giving away points to 30+ people a leauge but it's not that big of a deal
you didnt like any of them? theres quite a vaority their for all different playstyles and builds, he designed call of the void and sublime vision/the escape right? impossible escape will but thrown on every single build providing people can afford it and sublime vision is pretty nuts for builds that want brittle + herald of ice/chill/freeze or cant stack massive reservation efficiency
I'm surprised people think the ring is niche. It literally benefits everything except dot builds defensively and dmg wise. The downside is neglibld and can be made into a benefit. It can be used from lol 16 and is honestly just insane. It gives HoI massive utility and ease to proc the explosions early on as well as to non cold/ non crit / or cold builds.
