Ritual lets players purchase items with ritual points that you earn in each area. No longer are you hoping for a good drop, you’re selecting exactly what you want and earning it, maybe over the course of several maps. Ritual gives players access to extremely powerful gear, high-end currency, and essentially agency over their own progression path as you bust through each screen, which adds a lot to the overall progression arc. However, instead of gathering up a boatload of Chaos Orbs and trading for powerful items, I love to find my own gear and make do as I work my way through the campaign and the Atlas. Unfortunately, when I play in that mode, I can’t use the guild bank to gear up all my friends, so standard leagues is generally where I end up.
While trading is part of the game, I’ve never enjoyed that aspect and prefer to find my own gear, up to and including playing in Solo Self-Found league.
With Ritual league, you really get to have it your way when it comes to loot.
