Need some clarification by ZERO or Maynard...

Is the bird supposed to be able to buy ring cloak or health?
If so... is cloak turning the bird completely invisible working as intended?

I ask these questions because what once was a gimmick used rarely is becoming really common. Your now seeing terrible players playing the race on the losing side going this race just so they can buy those items and be almost impossible to kill. Say they die early and buy all those items, your looking at a bird that is completely invisible, extremely small hit box, flies, and has 150 hp and regens it.
