Honestly I think you are right. If it were obvious votes were public people would act differently, and while that’s not desirable from a content perspective, it is from a user perspective.
People don’t know unless it is in their face. Put it where everyone can see it. More drama, more engagement? Whatever.
I dunno about epic, but this game is tons of fun for me. Spent lots of hours.
Not sure how to explain it other than you will like it if you enjoy organizing synergies between equipment and trying to get an OP setup.
