Burning status illegible on Yellow troops

Okay, for today’s episode of Design Fails™ let’s play a game:

In the screenshot below my Hero is currently Burning, but a second Troop below them is also Burning. Can you guess which one?

the answer

If you said “Priestess”, you’re correct!

This is a problem.

Please move the Armor/Life stats back to their prior location – these are the stats that literally determine when a Troop lives or dies, so they MUST be placed in a clear, prominent location for the user to monitor them. (And of course move the Trait icons somewhere else, like onto the Mana ribbon instead?)

Its not that hard to see Burn.

There’s also the secondary:

Poison is worse… Faerie Fire covers up the Green Heart and the green bubbles are hidden by other status effects. Then again, I dont think anyone cares about Poison of all things when dealing with Essence of Evil.

Yeah, and it’s also not new with the 7.0 update.

Here’s another fun riddle: One of the troops in this image has a Blessing effect. Guess which one.

I admit, that was easy due to positioning, it’s the Webspinner.

Telling it from the image alone would be hard though. And yes, I know the bug has been adressed.

Bless is currently not placed correctly, it’s behind the troop image, like they are farting sunshine. There’s already a bug report for it.

… which explains a lot about my horrendous guild war results from wednesday onwards.
I had seen the topic when it was created, but did not do the math on what that means in non-widescreen settings. You have to admit, this can and will kill you.
