They serve as reminders that most of us just received crappy torches.

They should just make a spot in the materials stash tab for it, so that you can keep track of how many Ubers you have killed.

By the way, we can be 99% sure that it has no use. But LlamaSc finding the souls easter egg should be a warning. For more than 20 years, the devs have not revealed this secret.

Maybe (sligh, slight chance) there are still some unrevelead secrets. Maybe not all possible cube combination of the standard and gems/runes/items etc have been tried out.

this makes me want to put one

Standard of Heroes in every inventory of my chars, just in case it works like a hare's foot. Even if it is placebo^^

Hiho
Great threat with a whole bunch of good ideas for a cool use of the SoH.

Here is another one:

What about it opening a portal to something akin to the Cow-Level?

I saw speculations (for example by Mr LlamaSC) about a future 6th act in a coming expansion, so adding something like a new mini-region like the Cow-Level might not be too out of reach?

The new zone could be themed around a certain random aspect, for example the enemies being Undead or Demons or Beasts all, so that gearing against Undead/Demons/Beasts only would make sense.
Add to that a very small chance to get a Goblin-Layer like in Diablo 3 would add additional spice.
The possibilities are nigh endless.

Can someone expound on this a little more? I, too, have been playing for 20+ years and have never heard of this

Recently I placed the SoH to my inventory on PS5 and I have unlocked an achievement called “It has a purpose”. Can this be a clue that we didn’t discover it’s true usage?

It has a purpose - so you could get an achievement.
In the meantime, it is completely useless for PC players.

Until they find a genuine use for it, I think a great interim idea would be something you can toss onto the fire in the rogue's camp to make it burn bigger and brighter. That, or change the colour of the fire to "Hero Blue" or "Slayer Red"

Aards.
