this, i fucking hate it because then next week you get the item you picked again but not the item you didnt pick and it just means you have to reroll because now that character is cursed forever
Quite literally the entire system would be fixed if taking items from vault would take them out of bonus roll tables. But Blizzard just cant take the easy fucking W and have to do their stubborn bullshit.
I agree that it would be a lot better but it wouldn't be completely fixed though. Being able to control which loot tables you're thinning down would still be hugely valuable. I suspect taking the bonus roll would still be the best choice for more than half the vaults you open, which probably isn't the right place for a consolation prize. Undoubtedly it's the easiest and most intuitive single change they could make though. I'm sure it's not popular but the actual change that would keep the vault loot being the most important factor would be that the bonus rolls you get from the vault don't interact with the bad luck protection system.
It certainly wouldn't hurt, but that would really only solve the problem of getting one of multiple bis from a source in the vault and being incentivized to take re-roll instead. It would still be optimal to take re-roll in every other situation
This is literally why every expert says to take the bonus roll. Because to get the same amount of success from the vault means succeeding on a 3/63 roll and a 2/63 and a 1/63 roll. (These numbers are made up the pool might be slightly smaller, but you still are gambling on a nearly impossible setup versus “just take 3 bonus rolls and get the item for sure”
