Recently, a change was implemented to address duplicate legendaries. I previously suggested a fix that would actually solve this, but now inspiration has been increase to 20...This change has only execerbated the issue raised previously, as certain exclusives and legendaries are significantly more impactful for seasonal scoring/performance. Increasing a players ability if they pull many many copies of these and can even further strengthen them through inspiration only widens the gap in terms of performance and further disincentivizes myself and other players from further investing into the game. Examples: player a pulls 10 copies of Flora and 10 copies of Hvitar. Player b pulls 10 copies of Lelwanys and 10 copies of mithrasea. Player a was at a significant advantage before the change as Hvitar and Flora most signfiicantly impact performance in PVP and PVE respectively. Conversely, player b is at a massive disadvantage as Lelwanys and mithrasea are far less impactful for performance in any mode across the game. In PVP for example, an inspiration 10 Hvitar is effectively unbeatable...Adding additional layers of inspiration only WIDENS this gap as opposed to balancing performance. In other words, this is now a scaling, more prominent issue than it was before.
#Change to Inspiration Creates Even Larger Issue Than Before

I agree. I think for the most part everyone was okay with the inspiration 5 heroes. Hopefully the devs will listen to the community and make a dedicated “soul exchange shop”. Something other than just artifacts. For example: exchange 5 souls of hero X and receive hero Y. I don’t know what the solution should be but inspired 20 heroes is a bit excessive.

Amen @shadow shard - I'm offfering 20 up (which IS 100% excessive) to help give a fair compromise. I know that maxing revenue is important for the game, this would at least give us something to go off of instead of the ridicuous inspiration 20 that exists now. The result of the current solution will be 1-2 people spending hundreds of thousands and winning every season regardless of skill, while even large whales spending tens of tousands cease investing

If they do decide to keep the feature. Then possibly allow the inspiration of epics. But even that might be a bad idea.
