[Riven reroll UI] Why doesn't it show your current amount of Kuva?

[Chroia]

As title. Is there some technical limitation?

Because, I've gotta say, as someone who gave the system a shot (to the tune of 60 slots and some additional 3k plat to buy rivens),
it feels rather sleazy, to say the least.

Given how crucial your current supply of Kuva is to your decision whether to roll again, and how long kuva takes to acquire (due, among other things to blatant waitwalls),
intentionally hiding this information from the player on the UI specifically dedicated to dealing with depleting their Kuva stock feels like the 'no clocks, no windows on the game floor' psychology that casinos are built around.

Well, it is there actualy, it shows the Kuva you have in the upper right corner if you click a Riven Mod in your Mod console.

The Mod UI, sure.
The Riven UI, where it's much more immediately relevant, not so much.

Well lets be serious, its not much effort to just remember your amount you have shouldn't it.

I know it is dumb why it not shows there at all or just all the time in your Mod section.

But its a few clicks more to relook how much you have now again.

IMO it should show the amount you currently have BUT (and I'm not saying this was done on purpose so hear me out first) Think of it this way, if you don't know how much you have, and considering that riven rolling is a bit like gambling you might be more inclined to spend if you're unaware of your reserves running low. Being that this is a game of loot and resource farming say you have 10k kuva, you're on your 4th roll which is what...1700 per roll now? (I honestly forget, I've only rolled a few and dropped them due to time and effort etc) now after a few rolls you're down to...3K kuva you know kuva is needed for other things (weapons,nidus etc) so you could either A, farm some more but keeping in mind you only get about 600 per normal run and 1.2k with a booster and 1k on a flood (with high level enemies) 2k with a booster, or you could just say "Eh, I'll save it for now"

 

It's kind of like the thing where, anyone here who's 21 and been to a casino will notice, there aren't any clocks on the walls and VERY FEW windows if any, why? if you don't notice the time, you stay longer, spending more.

 

Again, I think it should show your current amount on this screen though.

If you do 10 re-rolls in a row, where the amount varies, you'll forget how much Kuva you have if you don't have some sort of OCD and keep count.
