In my opinion some gobblegums and elixirs are way too crutch and gamebreaking, and yeah I know "just don't use em then" and that's exactly what I'm doing. I have never been a fan of getting all perks or the entire fucking map opened up on round 1. It makes the natural progression completely obsolete, and just makes the entire setup laughably easy.
I know it may be helpful to a lot of players, but for me, the difficulty and intensity is completely gone.
Anyone with me?
