Your Little MPQ Tics

DirigiblePilot

What do you do when playing that seems dumb, but you can't help?
For example:
When the game is loading, I try to move my mouse through both of the gaps in the circles when they line up perfectly.
I click repeatedly on Iron Man's little glowy light on the title screen, because it makes a bunch of lightning zaps appear.
I always immediately close the pop-up that lets you know about current info, then regret it because I realize that there was actually something new.
When I'm tank-retreating, I always try to make sure that all 3 of my characters do damage before they are brutally slaughtered because they only have 7 health left. (NO idea why)
I frequently check my Season 1 placement, even though I know it hasn't changed.

What do you do?

I do the pop-up thing, you hate yourself after that.
"Oh, let's see what event is coming next aaaand I closed it"

Yep, this: "Oh, that looks like a new event announcement, I wonder--WHAT ARE YOU DOING, THUMB?! Mrrrrgh."

Also, I always manually recenter the three nodes on a PVP screen if they accidentally get shifted over. Having them off-center is weird.

When I get my call of the storm I let the enemy get a 5 in a row that leads to a deadly cascade

This needs to be memified!

When entering a match, I watch the rewards cycle through and wait to hit the fight button until the reward I want is showing.

Regarding the pop-up, I also try to anticipate closing ones that don't even exist. Want to check the Season 1 brackets? Let me just tap in the upper right hand corner for no reason, first...

Near the end of an event I use boosts for a tough fight, then I go to do a Prologue heal and mindlessly click through to the start the fight burning a duplicate set of boosts. And of course then I win the Prologue fight too quickly to actually get my characters healed.

I click as much as the game allows me on Iron Man's palm (sometimes), use boosts that I don't want to because they are left from previous fight and I clicked too fast, use wrong ability at the wrong time because I was overzealous (use Doom's blue instead of OBW's), forget to change target and target a no threat enemy, (un)consciously target the wrong enemy and realize after a few turns that it don't make sense, try to deny a color from enemy but end providing them with it instead, don't use a particular ability even though I have enough AP to use it twice, forget to heal with OBW and end up getting her or team mates killed.

I definitely close the news window by accident fairly often, others are:

I tap on Iron Man as many times as possible to load the game
I only turn the sound on to hear Punishers Retribution
I berate the AI that cannot hear me when it makes a stupid move

I guess my thing is, when I use boosts, let's say 1 boost in each slot (so three of them), when the match loads, there's the animation explaining what boosts your using. Takes forever.

While that is going on, I am continually clicking on the opposing characters as I want to reshuffle them to get the one to take down first in the first position. Of course, you can't until all the animation is done.

So I click, click, click...listening to the sound it makes...any match where boosts are used.

This.

And due to this clicking I skip the char I wanted in front...
