Have I lost my mind, or did they move the relic button a bit?

Rayven5220 · April 11

Seriously, I've hit it accidentally so many times since I started 8.4 yesterday it's ridiculous.

Chances are they never moved it and somehow I slightly changed the way I'm holding my phone or something, but it's infuriating how many times I've hit the striker button accidentally since yesterday! 🤣🤣

KRANꓘ · April 11

I have been doing the same thing.
I think it moved a bit.
There's no way for as many hours spent on this game that I should accidentally hit that button so many times.

OK, it's not just me so I swear they moved it then. Even a slight movement in it would throw us off.

I wonder if it happened unintentionally, though if it really did move.

I don't think they would have made an adjustment like that without an announcement.

ahmynuts · April 11

No they definitely moved it. I've been accidentally hitting it way way too much for it to be in the same spot. Very infuriating

I don’t always use my relic, but when I do, it’s by mistake.

I'm having the same problem. Lot's of random relic misfires for me since 8.4.

So it’s not just me…thought I’d lost my mind

What device are you using?

I just tested this myself using overlaying screenshots from this patch and from a previous patch from both my iPhone and my iPad, and they appear to be in the exact same location for me. I have misfires as well, but usually that’s just based on how I’m holding the phone at the time

S23 ultra. Its definitely moved up a bit on my phone. It could be by like a single pixel but it definitely moved and is very noticeable. I'm glad I'm not the only one here that's having this problem since 8.4

Now I'm wondering if it's an android issue. @Nemesis_17 @Rayven5220 do you have androids as well?

I do not. I’ve hit my relic accidentally a lot in the past but then it seemed to stop happening.
Only as of yesterday in act 8 was I smacking it constantly

Jeancrb · April 11

Omg same but for like a month for me, It never happened before that so I was wondering if the position of my fingers while playing changed recently. I was getting crazy!

I thought maybe I was going insane, but given the amount of people experiencing the exact same thing, it HAS to have been moved slightly.
I doubt it happened intentionally, but noe it's a huge mystery of what devices it's happening on.

iDestroyerZ · April 11

Bro 99% of my fights in 8.4 i activated my relic when i didn't want to because of this
redmi note 8 pro

BringPopcorn · April 11

Im just wondering something and this is pure speculation... Maybe the input grid got shifted some how?...
People say their back button doesn't work...now the striker button area is all weird...

It's definitely a possibility.

@Kabam Miike any insight? I would have tagged Jax but it never let's me. 😪

SandeepS · April 11

My swipe back has activated my striker by accident. Sometimes for the better, but not an accident I'm happy with

Glassback · April 11

I was rushing 8.2 exploration yesterday and the amount of times I hit it into Bahamet’s radiation was frustrating.

This would explain it!

Pandingo · April 11

Same tbqh

I am definitely having the back button issue alot. Striker button not as much, but still has happened.

You need to tag miike and delete the ''miike'', then kabam jax will appear for you to tag him

Dang this ruins my theory. I just finished up my 8.4 exploration and mistakenly hit the relic many more times. Something is definitely off here

xLunatiXx · April 11

Could it be the button didn't move but the hitbox got bigger ? Definitely having issues

Cure2024 · April 11

I only did first 5 quests completion and I accidentally activated relic so many times, 50% more then before.

I hate this button placement anyway. it should be moved a little more to left near end of power bar and move it as low as possible. I have lost so many matches in past because I accidentally activated relic and push them to sp3 while baiting for their specials.

Yeah I haven’t the foggiest idea of what it could be

ahmynuts · April 12

Bumping because I really want to know what happened here and there's no way we all suddenly became way worse at mcoc on 04/10/2024

Have I lost my mind, or did they move the relic button a bit?
