Fix Needed: Okoye's Spear Blocks Tiles (Steam Version Only) [Resolved]

As the Image shows Okoye's spear heavily obscures the bottom row when she is upfront and it is on your turn.   This is so bad that the second and third left most tiles are difficult to make out the colours on.   More importantly, if they were special tiles like strikes, protects, cooldowns etc...its entirely possible you couldn't see this information at all and that becomes a BIG problem when it comes to strategic decisions. 

This causes very real gameplay problems on Steam (I cannot confirm whether or not this is a mobile issue) and it really needs to be addressed as soon as possible.  

If someone can confirm whether or not this is a problem on mobile I'd appreciate it.

Note: I've been told you can mouse over tiles to discover what they are...but it goes without saying that this is both time consuming and inconvenient.  The game is about speed and a graphical spear blocking the board for aesthetic reasons is not a compelling enough reason to inconvenience the player in this way.

    Another reason why I play the mobile version. Steam version gets the shaft once more.

    That would SUCK!

    While I don't have her, I assume this is not an issue on mobile-versions, since mobile has the character graphics ABOVE the tile board, not to the sides.

    Thank you.

    Oddly enough..when its your opponents turn the screen is shifted down to see the board clearly.  At least that's what I've seen through screen shots (I don't personally have Okoye yet as I'm getting this info from LINE).   So all the devs need to do is ensure her spear remains below the board on your turn as well. 

    Below is the screenshot while on the AI's turn


    Perfectly acceptable fix.

    It's another piece of evidence that no testing is done on Steam, ever.

    The problem is clearly with the tip of the spear: not the shaft :smiley:
    Just the tip? I think she’s gripping the shaft and tilting ever so slightly at an angle not to block your view of the gems

    @Tombstone Can we get an update as to whether you guys plan on fixing this or not? I know you don't support steam anymore but this is aggravating every single match I play with Okoye. If you could, just let us know if it's even on the agenda. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you

    @Tombstone So I was thinking about how to fix this. What if you just make the spear head translucent on the players turn like when a character gets stunned. It should be easy to code and wouldn't change the aesthetics of the art.
