Just a small suggestion if may I ask, maybe is it possible to move new champ/title indicator a little bit up?
Like this? It’s getting way to close to alliance help indicator and my OCD is killing me lol
This is what my pre-fight UI looks like. I don’t mind expanding the abilities tab to read more, but for me the text for the tags and HP is a bit small. It might be me nitpicking a bit, but I wouldn’t mind it being just slightly bigger.
I do like the new UI, but at the moment, it just seems a bit small for my liking.
Really loving this new UI look, u did a great work!

This will be adjusted in the next release. We changed this because we added the same buttons to the prefight screen and on that screen having the exit on the bottom so close to fight was more likely long term to be a bad placement. We wanted both screens to have a consistent layout between them so then changed it on the quest screen too. Will be annoying short term for sure but hopefully over time it will be a better user experience
Minor thing.
And as @Cristalman said, when opened it visually badly placed as it’s covering information.
I mentioned swapping the “Exit” button to the bottom row of the pre-fight UI during a live stream, and was told the reason for its current placement was to avoid accidentally pressing the “Fight” button in the attempt of pressing “Exit”.
After thinking about it, I realized that every button placed on the bottom row would pose the same risk, and started considering which outcome would be the least consequential.
The conclusion I arrived at is that the “Exit” button would be best served on the bottom row, and here’s why:
Exit: If you’re going for the exit button, then you’re going to leave/restart the quest anyway. So if the “Fight” button is pressed by accident, then at most you’d have to quit the fight and sit through 2 extra loading screens, nothing lost but a bit of time. Or, all your champs are already dead and nothing happens anyway.
Boost: Boosted Hp could be the difference of surviving by a sliver of health. Boosted attack could mean finishing the fight before the opponent reaches another special that will reduce your health points. Accidently starting the fight when trying to boost could lose a fight and cost extra resources.
Autoplay: Autoplay will become, if not already, the most commonly used between the 3 buttons. Autoplay is conveniently placed right next to the thumb and is the easiest way to move between fights, and now easier to toggle off after arriving at the pre-fight screen thanks to its repositioning. Much easier than wrestling with the input system, trying to convince it that you’ve already tapped the movement node 20 times, and no I don’t want to see what’s in the box just move already. Using autoplay to move also skips the need to select “Path A” when “Path A” is the only option to select.
Starting a fight when trying to toggle off autoplay, before you’ve even selected the right champion for the fight, could cost the fight causing us to restart the quest losing all current progress or at the least some precious resources.
Both the Autoplay and Boost are buttons you’d press to continue progressing through the quest. A mistake in either attempt could mean starting the whole quest over again, losing all time and effort put into progress. Whereas the Exit button is to leave or restart. Meaning that accidentally starting a fight in the attempt of leaving a quest would be inconsequential when compared to the other 2 options.
And that is why I believe that the “Exit” button should be placed on the bottom row, and the “Autoplay” button on the top row.
So I agree it should be on the place you are most likely to press.
Good job on the continue work to improve the UI and players experience.
One simple thing that would make a massive difference to player experience would be the option of use items straight from the Item Stash.
Right now, players have to check the Stash, then find the item, use it, then go back to the Stash to claim it. Sometime things might not be clear (items lv 1 or 2, or different Arena boosters), and the wrong items get used instead.
So an option to just go to the Stash, select the items (that expiring soon) and use it would make a world of difference, and would cost Kabam nothing, a win win situation.
Hope it can be implemented it, thank you
