Skipping a blind should still give a shop

[honest gyro]

i feel like skipping is in a decent spot rn

The entire point of skipping IS to skip the shop. That’s why you get buffs in exchange

[honest gyro]

also skipping definitely has ots place in the game

[vital token]

balancing the game around the highest level play isnt exactly the best idea

[vital token]

what do you mean "average players will never proc a wheel?"
it's luck based, there's no skill to it at all

but what I mean is that the fact that skipping a blind is not optimal since you don't have access to the shop
shouldn't matter at all, since most people won't even get that far

it's a risk/reward system
you miss out on a shop for the sake of getting a better reward later on

higher level players skip this because they're trying to eliminate that risk, and it's better for them to scale

and most people aren't trying to make high level scaling builds

so no, I'm not exactly saying the game is balanced around average players, i'm saying that making it more viable just for the reasoning that people on gold stakes can have an easier time and make it worthwhile for them
isn't the best way of doing things

if this is for the sake of making it more interesting to play around, tags are already interesting to play around. the thing is with high level play is that you wouldn't do things because it's "interesting"
