Game design should minimise un-necessary mouse clicks

When upgrading champions, need to select a sacrificial: 1 click needed

but the game demands 2 confirmations, then an extra click to acknowledge upgrade, and another to return to options, which in my humble opinion could be auto at the end of the upgrading routine

Thus, the game needs 5 mouse-clicks from user where 1 could have done the job... and from lag-observations, I think one of those is communicated back and forth through internet....

What a shameful !!! waste of resources, like mice, internet, player's time & patience and last but not least: GAME SATISFACTION

There are plenty of other examples of waste in the game... just too many to quote here or I would bore you for days to come

End of my rant, sincerely, captain DGO

Yeah Fury is a help for sure I'm not sure if he would consider Moderating

I am Glad he is around though he seems very game savvy and has some amusing post that leave me with a smile at times.

And these days a smile is always welcome.

And the tweaking of the game is a constant thing the Devs are very busy doing their best to increase the enjoyment of the overall game experience.

I am sorry mate I just had to :)

I can't get no satisfaction

I can't get me no satisfaction

And I click and I click and I click, c-c-c-click, click

I can't get no

I can't get me no

When I'm clicking on my mouse

And a man comes on the forum

He's tellin' me more and more

About some useless information

Supposed to fire my imagination

I can't get no

No, no, no

Hey, hey, hey

That's what I say

I can't get no satisfaction

I can't get me no champion action

Try Singing it! Groovy...

Hello Zardas Please though I know this is an attempt at levity This can be considered an attempt to hijack the topic I ask that you try not doing this

You are correct mate, there will only be on verse then, anyway I agree with ya all upgrading champs take to many clicks and to mush time.
Game time in a war game should be spent on finding and killing the enemy.

And I think my carer as a single song writer will come to an early retirement :)

Hello! I got your idea, but I'm afraid that in this case, many players will complain that the windows are too small!
