I don't know if this has been brought up before but I think the surrener button should be changed somehow, too many times I have accidently canceled and atk I'm easily going to win. Yeah the cancel button asks "are you sure?" but when your dropping barch and spamming the troops your thumbs are just pounding away at the screen faster than it takes for your brain to process that the cancel atk popped up and you clicked yes
The main force driving the likelihood of winning or losing a defense is the attacker's mistakes. It's there on purpose. Just be more careful, I've never faced such problem and surely you won't if you practice more.
You mean the Surrender/End Battle button? As in move it elsewhere on the screen so you don't press it by accident?
True it was my mistake by pressing it, it's just a pain to have to be wary and use caution every time I drop troops at the bottom left of the screen. I know I'm not the only one that has had this happen too and it has nothing to do with skill, just misplaced thumb pressing.Quote:

Putting the End Battle/Surrender button near where your basic troops normally go is kind of a bad thing.
I saw a picture in google of old coc layouts where the surrender/end battle is at the top center of the screen. Im not sure if its real since ive only played october last year. If thats the case then i have no idea why they moved it to the lower left side. Although its probably more distracting if its in the middle. 😕
I'm not sure, I cant remember back then. But maybe if they moved the button down at the end of the troop/spells list it would be better. Still easy to use and out of the way from those wandering thumbsQuote:

Playing on a device with a larger screen does help but may not be available to everyone. Just thought a small change could provide some convenience to everyone overall. Or maybe its just me lolQuote:

So the only way that it can be avoided is to move the end button probably at the top where its less likely that our thumbs cant reach it. But as we agreed on, it may become a bit distracting. So were in a bind i guess. LolQuote:
