What's happening when Anarchy/Onslaught leagues end?

Unique items that were prevented from spawning in the challenge leagues (for example, Kaom's Heart) will continue to spawn, but they (or other Uniques) may be rebalanced at Release.

So, whats the point in playing if the end game uniques are only mediocre and I dont have anything to farm towards anymore? Try out skills I already tested ages ago just to find out that they are still bad?

Rebalancing items, probably the most horrible idea you ever had. Guess you gave into the whining once again. Cant say I am surprised.

lol try sometimes else besides builds that are cookie cutter or require expensive op items like shavronnes, which are hard to get at a fresh start of league maybe?

If you had rare items equipped, chances are very high you have something to farm towards. Once you have your BiS unique you won't have something to farm towards.

Last time I checked you try to get the core item pretty early and upgrade the rest later on.

No one buys perfect LL gear before having a Shavronnes. The main problem is that you could even fix Kaoms (Shavronnes is far from being broken) but obviously its easier to just nerf the item itself.

There's a differnce between over powereed and mediocre. For example I personally think that the bringer of rain is much better than mediocre but isn't really over powered. I think Astramentis is better than mediocre but is not over powered, I think blood dance is better than mediocre but is not over powered...same with void bringer, maligros, shavronnes revelation, etc etc etc.

The people wanting to keep OP uniques that even GGG recognizes as OP are the ones who are whining.

There are only two item that are broken in their current form.

Kaoms and Soul Taker. One of them is pretty easy to fix. You just change a majority of the nodes from +%life to +raw life. The other is a bit more difficult and probably not possible to perfectly balance for some builds. Yes, you can craft better weapons but you need Soul Taker to run stuff like Dominating Blow properly.

Lioneyes is, even though a lot of people say, not overpowered. Its drawback is the fact that you cant EVADE (fucking terms) anymore making ER builds impossible and automatically having to rely on Armor which isnt the best thing to do when running Elemental based builds which most Lioneyes based builds are. Reflect becomes a problem that is always there and from time to time cant even be avoided (LA randomly jumping around like crazy)

You know how I think about Shavronnes and what I think is the problem with LL RF builds.

So, what items are broken?

Good read.
Its nice to see that you're starting new long term leagues soon after the old ones ends.
I'm however surprised that you are sticking to 4 month and not trying somewhat shorter ones like 2-3 months etc. This is especially surprising since you seem keen to see how new content works and what the players opinion is on it before introducing it into the rest of the game.

Nice to hear that you might be rebalancing some uniques upon release, Mostly in the sense that it will be more build diversity and easier to balance some of the core systems. But IMO there should also be those "really" amazing uniques that make people keep on playing and strive to obtain, even if they are a "little" on the overpowered side.

I found the 4-month league to be a perfect length. Playing self-found, no trading at all, it took me a little over 3 months to get 2 or 3 character builds capable of playing in Act 3 Merciless.

My goal for the next 4-month league is to... do better.

Most of these people probably dont even know that the bow got nerfed quite hard a few months ago and that LA for example has a bunch of weaknesses now.

They are probably still thinking of the completely broken Lioneyes + LA combination when OB went live (which he will obviously deny).
