Have you ever considered hiring a AI engineer to develop a AI that can run thousands of a map/league content so that you can get a good idea about what kinda loot is dropping on average? Could save you a lot of pain in tuning
Yes, that is part of our process. In the most recent test of 1000 maps we ran it on, for example, it found 51% more unique items and 3.3% less currency compared to 3.18.1f (with no Sentinels activated). This is some of the data that we're using to help our internal discussions around how item drop rates feel.
