I HATE THE CURRENT STATE OF THE GAME!

(This is gonna be a bit of a rant, my bad).

So, i LOVE buying pins in brawl stars, expecially brawler specific ones. I mean, they are our only way of communicating with our squad/randoms (aside from sprays, but who cares about them, honestly?). When They announced the new shop, i was a tiny bit scared, since i used the catalog a lot, and spent all of my bling there. but i was like: "ok, at least i'll be able to buy what i want with gems, and maybe get skins for cheaper with bling". And then the update dropped. Every ounce of hope i had was instantly shattered when i logged in (i was one of the people with zero offers), but i didnt mind too much. Now a bit of time has passed, and to be honest? I really hate it. Prices are inflated for dumb progression, and the choose your own skin deals arent as cool as i thought they would be. And then, the problems with pins became apparent.

Example number 1: as you can see in the first picture, when entering the "quick pin" menu, you cant buy anything anymore, which really sucks, because you can't get any pins whenever you want (also, in the catalog, you cant buy anyhing either. And also, it says that all pins are brawl pass items??? But thats just a bug, so, whatevs)

Example number 2: (got no pictures for this one, i havent unlocked damian) when a new brawler comes out, such as damian, or starr nova, i used to unlock them, buy all of their pins, and get to play them whilst expressing myself on the battle field with said pins. BUT, with the removal of the ability to buy pins, therebis a new problem. When a new brawler comes out, they usually dont have any skins. Therefore, since there are no offers to buy a skin for that new brawler, there is no way of getting a pin with that skin. (And if there was a skin released with the brawler, its not guaranteed that the offer will come with a pin). THEREFORE, BUYING ALL PINS FOR NEW BRAWLERS BECOMES LITTERALLY IMPOSSIBLE.

Honestly, i havent heard enough people talk about this. Its a serious issue, regarding both skins, pins, icons and sprays. And i sincerely hope they put the og catalog back in the game, or at least fix the offers in the oddity shop or make you able to buy things in the catalog for gems. And if they dont roll any change out for the season 50/starr patrol update, im gonna be pretty disappointed :( (btw, im italian, so, my bad if i made some grammatical mistakes)
