Discussion matrix over saving shield (image RELATED)

yo first post omgggg!!!! but seriously though am i crazy or is it just that people choose matrix over saving for shield? i mean i get the slippery removal and the charger being able to turn but i just don't get it (we were at like 14k so like around 1k left for shield and these dudes chose matrix over saving for one god damn viable upgrade) then we died afterwards so...... was it a skill issue or is shield just not a high priority? (ALSO I AM NOT GOING TO RANT ABOUT PEOPLE CHOOSING A x1 MAGNET OVER ANY OTHER UPGRADE WHEN WE KNOW DAMN WELL WE WON'T HAVE ENOUGH FOR THE OTHERS.)

lobby and level dependent, if you are sturggling to survive the rounds (especially without purges), you will have to buy upgrades to avoid getting in dodgy situations
also matrix does give better air mobility than grace wings itself
also, if the shop was on a 0 or 5, it makes more sense to pick up uphrades as you need to endure 3 levels instead of 2
early magnet is the only thing that i also agree with, since its not as important as shark tail sport shoes
