There are too many gods to choose from

Too much RNG at the cost of customization during the run. Running a build you want is close to impossible with how many different gods there are. On top of that I think the probability of getting the new earth god is somewhat increased as she pops up way more often than others.

Given how many options there are running a build you like is harder and harder. Devs should add some altar or whatever where you can ban a god from popping up during the run. As it is now it forces you to run things you don't want at an increased rate which is obviously bad.
Custiomization is good, too much RNG isn't.

How many alteration dice are you starting with? I've found 6 to 8 to be the sweet spot to target any build you want.

I actually want more Gods... Poseidon, Aphrodite, Apollo, etc.

I start with 8, and somehow they always cycle through the ones I don't want. Usually 3 min in and they are gone.

That seems extremely unlucky. There's only nine gods, so in 8 rolls you don't get 1/3 of them at all?

no rng would also be bad tho. then its 100% metaplay or nogo

I mean, you have still the rng what blessing offer you get.

RN its still manageble I guess but for the future I hope for something like a "panteon" you could give your Heroes, so You have at least a little control over your gods. Its really annoying if I have to tell justice like everytime I play one of the range elves that I just dont want her and her damage avoiding stuff :D

Different gods are ok. More gods to choose from during one run - not so much. There a re only so many dices per run. Increasing the number of gods during the run you choose from exponentialy lowers the impact of these dices. I wrote about a possible mechanic where you can ban certain god ( yes, the earth lady ) from a run, not for the devs to stop comming up with new ones.

You think 7 gods is too much when it's easy to get alterations? What a grand and intoxicating innocence.

[Hormesis]

i really find the quality of the boon offered to be far more impactful than the god themselves. they are all balanced enough to make any build viable. however the difference between a master boon and anything under it is night and day.

Hell yeah that would be amazing, I`m sad they only added Ninh in this update. its easy enough to just save scum with some dice if you don`t get the gods you want anyways.

i think a system like hades where you can pick between two gods but get "punished" by the other would be a great addition to this game unless of course i just missed it

duo boons are a planned feature

It's not a problem of too many gods, it's how they're chosen and how poorly balanced they are as a whole. Alteration dice is a bad system and players should choose their 3 gods prior to the run. Why? Because if your alteration die fail within the first 3 levels to get the gods you want, you just restart. It takes seconds on the clock to rifle through gods and reset if it doesn't work out. It's just dumb.

On top of that, many gods are just bad. Summer is awful because burn sucks. The most useful thing I did with Summer is to take Fury, her new update blessing taken from Fates, and then banish every other skill she has to offer so that it doesn't clog up my blessings. Krom also leaves a lot be desired because knockback kind of doesn't matter. Bloodlust also ends up being a bit irrelevant because the only enemies that don't immediately die and can be considered ruptured are bosses. On top of that, you have legendary blessings to consider, and a lot of gods have legendary blessings that pale in comparison to others. This is another area where Summer is god awful, both of her legendary blessings suck.

/shrug i get to do my specific build on high darkness nearly every run (bar a few legendary pops here and there). the other times i make due and still finish the run. i dont think its an issue at all.

theres not enough
