Some League Ideas for Poe2 lets think outside the box

1. After you kill a boss you can tether them(slave them) to you at half their power and size(or whatever the devs decide) and they can grant your specific build buffs or they can directly be a teammate and attack with you. Or they can portal in only during boss fights and do their special ability to help you out. Its a good way to get more involved in the game because the bosses are very cool and what the players look forward to so any reason to interact with them more is very fun. Could add a lot of variety to builds, instead of seeing the same builds every league.

2. A league where you completely change how skills and supports work together for some insane and wild builds. Maybe the heralds are actually summoned and explode the enemies on the battlefield, maybe lightning arrow now creates 4 lightning aspects and sprays arrows in all directions, maybe your warrior can transform into a Colossi and have increased damage and defense for a period of time, etc. New ways to make the game exciting and fun.

3. A roguelike themed league that is way better and more fun than something like your trial of sekehmas. Maybe every map you choose Fate modifiers that can alter how the run plays out. Burdens are debuffs and Boons are buffs. Boons can be stat buffs, new abilities or change how it works, scaling loot advantages, etc. The deeper you go the harder and more rewarding the maps. Map progression can be chained together like floors in a roguelike dungeon. After clearing a map you can exit or chain another map to continue for even better loot. Endgame league boss can be The Ascendent, a boss shaped by your choices. Defeating him can reward a special league item that can customize your atlas tree(or whatever the devs decide). The replayability is insane cause each map can chain differently. You're not forced into pain-only modifiers.

4. A mirrorverse league. At random a map may have your mirrored self as the boss that fights you. It's a total copy of your build. Each time you defeat your mirror it learns from you and may pick up a new tactic for the next fight. Slaying the mirror drops mirror essences, used to enhance, duplicate, or create twisted inverse items with stats (-50 life but +50 chaos res., etc.). The impact would be staggering and so much fun. You literally become your worst enemy.

5. Maybe a Cataclysm League. Every 2-3 minutes in a map a random global event hits. maybe its a meteor storm that hits both players and monsters, a temporal collapse where time literally stops you or the monsters at random times, an unkillable shadow cloud chases you and only killing enemies can extend your life. The impact is pure chaos, you never know if your run will be smooth or catastrophic. Surviving the run drops fragments to craft cataclysm orbs that can create godlike mods on your maps.

or they could just fix the core game and not throw trash at it and see what sticks?

Can we house more than 1 slave to create variety? Also would we be allowed to upgrade them at all? Or are they just "as is" and you have to get new ones to improve?

I would absolutely love the idea of dealing with meteor showers, quakes, voids and other catastrophes, it's just pure chaos. I take a season of this, please and thank you.
