Suggestion for icentives to use different perks

Both sides regularly complain about always seeing the same builds, so I was wondering if it would be a good idea to implement icentives to use different perks. I have seen some propositions of banning some random perks every week, but I don't think this is the way to go.

My idea is as follow: randoms perks for both sides are picked regularly, and the players who use them gain extra EXP for using them. It could be the perks currently present in the Shrine of Secrets, as such it would also encourage people to go see it every once in a while (genuinely never clicked on it on purpose in my time playing). That way, the players would gain either +25% or +50% EXP per perk so the player would gain +50% or +100% EXP per game for using both perks.

With this, players would be encouraged to make a build around one or two perks if they want the extra EXP, but people who don't want to participate wouldn't be affected at all. Even if everyone participates, the builds that everyone uses would still change everytime there's a new Shrine.

Also I think a EXP reward would be better than a BP reward because we already gain a lot of those, also gaining more EXP = more shard & more fragments during Rifts, which is what the people want.

Tell me what you think, ngl I'm pretty happy with this idea

    Reduce the XP boost and I'm in, for the moment the boost is so big that everyone will just take the 100% EXP perk combo for fast leveling up.

    Yeah that's why I hesitated between 50 & 100 haha, but you're probably right 100% is a bit much

    50% should only be for very very weak unpopular perks, but the basis should be around 15% - 25% to not give too much XP boost.

    Im not sure if people will like having their perks randomized and I dont know what the rewards should be, but I want the ability to set one of my perk slots or ALL of my perk slots to random perks (excluding no mither ofc) in the regular game.

    I think if Ultra-rares were more ultra rare, it would be cool to have a scramble all perks for all players offering. (excluding no mither ofc.)

    Yeah it's about time we get a "randomize" feature... I understand we'll never get a random game mode but there's absolutely no reason why players shouldn't be able to randomize their own perks
