Latest update and champion rank up

PatientZero

Is it just me or has the latest update made it much harder to tell which champions are able to be ranked up. The filled arrow and the nearly filled is hard to tell by look alone. Is there some other tell that I am missing?

Agreed - it should change colour or glow when it's full.. or something. A few times I checked during the past level up to realise I was still missing 1-2 catalysts. It's a nice graphic but when it's close to the top impossible to tell.

It does glow when you have all the resources necessary to rank up. Notice Ghost and Hood versus Fury.

I can barely see that in your screenshot..tells me the glow is too diffuse and not bright enough. Matter of fact it's basically a feathered glow which is not very noticeable unless you are looking for it. This game already gives me enough eye strain. They should just change the colour - red is stop, green is go etc.

I'm not saying they couldn't make it more noticeable. I'm just stating that it does glow and pulsate.

Fair enough. But it should be a very stark change imho - i think that's what OP is saying and I agree with him there.

They're looking at making some changes to it. Miike said on Twitter they wont be in the next update but it's gonna be addressed

So, it won't be fixed until May at the earliest???

I'm sorry, but waiting 2 months minimum to have you correct something that should never have even made it to day 2 in beta testing is sad. I'm not a programmer, but can't you just go back to the previous build for the champion rank up?

Drake2078

Oh if your taking suggestions on the rank up arrow color.
I think the obvious choice would be Green arrow for able to rank up.
And red arrow if you're not able to rank up

All they need to do is, either make the glow GREEN, or, change it from blue to gray, and then have the glow the same with the blue icon...

Kinda funny it takes so long to change a simple color. Should be fixed in 10 secs. lol

GREEN = Fully Max (ie 4* 5/50).

BLUE = at RANKUP Level (ie 4* 3/30 or 4/40), with all needed Cats, etc.
BLUE with RED X across it = at a Rankup Level, but missing some Reaources (Cats, Gold) to actually rank them up.

Differentiate champs still at BASE LEVEL 1/1 versus champs that you are in the process of Leveling Up (but not at a Rankup Level yet).

ORANGE = LEVEL somewhere between 1/1 and max (such as 1/6, 3/15, 5/30). A Champ that you have started working on leveling up, but couldn’t do all at once previously.

YELLOW = BASE LEVEL 1/1 champs that you haven’t touched yet. Either haven’t started on yet, or want to just keep at 1/1 and not worry about.

This will better indicate which champs are only partially done (instead of the very hard to see difference in how full the current blue/white arrow is now).

Unfortunately, due to build timelines, that is not possible. I know a lot of people would think that you can just copy and paste some old code, but that's not possible. It's going to take additional development time, and unless we want to revert all work done on the other changes (like the resource finder), we can't revert it that easily.

I completely understand. At least it's being addressed. Anything to make it easier to differentiate would be great. I love that shows what you need for rank up when you tap the character.
