UI/UX Feedback/Requests
So, I'm a huge fan of auto-chess. And I'll say that between the 4 versions of this game that I've played. TFT is in the top 2 for me. Still really love the Dragonest version. But I've been playing LoL for what, 9 years now? So, I appreciate that you read my mind and put this mode in your repertoire. THANK YOU! The game is awesome!
There's a few things I feel this mode is lacking, that would help a ton. At least, help me. I jumped in with expectations due to the popularity of auto chess in the last year. So, maybe you have a different vision. But these are things I'd really appreciate having available, or messaged better.
Do what you think is best, of course. Just throwing in my honest feedback for a game I'm already going to play.
UI:
-
DPS meter - A default staple of auto chess. I have no idea who I should be giving damage items to on my board.
-
Highlight shop champions that match my progress toward synchronicity between champions. Do I have 1 of 2 Knights, and there's a Knight in the shop? Highlight it! Do I have 2 Lucians, and there's a 3rd Lucian in the shop? Highlight it!
-
Buff/class icons displayed on top of champions at all times. I need this to learn the synchronicities better. Right clicking on champions with a permanently sticky overlay window is really clunky.
UX:
-
Let me see champion overlay cards on mouse hover. Don't make me right click. The champion's are small, and usually I just miss, and my avatar walks to where I clicked.
-
During the round where I'm supposed to grab a champion from the circle in the center. Make it clear that physical contact with my little avatar is going to PERMANENTLY LOCK IN THAT CHOICE AND FUCK ME. Let me walk through the units in the circle, and actually click some confirmation that I actually want the champion I ran into. I get that you don't want people to be able to switch selections to troll/deny another player's choice. But at least don't force my choice because I can't tell which blue ghost on the screen is even me.
Settings:
-
Lock camera regardless of my avatar's position on screen. I hate that the camera auto-focuses my little ghost when I accidentally walk off the side of the board. I'm literally just right to right click on champions to read their buff info. I don't see why he needs to move at all in this version of auto chess. He doesn't need to move.
-
Lock avatar's position off the side of the board. He just gets in the way.
-
Let me choose to display my active buffs in a 4 icon wide grid.
-
Show incomplete/inactive buffs in a separate grid or something.
