Hello there,

Been playing the game for a few days (really great, I've had a lot of fun!) and I quickly realized about the importance of attack order.

There was this time when I was playing with the default demacia/freljord deck. Opponent and I were both low on hp and my turn to attack. I set my units to clear their board and win next round, but then realized that I needed to kill their phantom prankster first or I would probably die from her effect. That's okay, I had the 2/4 Laurent challenger and an attack buff for him, but the dude was at the far right of the board. Needless to say that after : 1) realizing that I couldn't just drag him to the left of the board 2) removing all units 3) failing to reset them in correct order due to panic because the end-of-turn timer had appeared 4) setting them in the correct order 5) challenging the damn prankster

I was about 1 or 2 seconds from the automatic end of my turn.

I might have lost the game because of the UI not letting me do something anyone would expect possible.

Maybe I just messed up and it's actually possible to change units order on the fly after setting them to attack, but if I didn't please Riot fix this ❤

This is definitely functionality that we want to add.

In the meantime a really fast way to setup your attackers is to click/tap and hold on the unit you want all the way to the left and then drag it on to your other units in the order you want them. When you drop them in the attack row they’ll be in the right order.

We will get there and I hope you all are patient enough to stick with us!

Yeah sure, I just think it's important to give feedback about this. Especially since this kind of issue should not have passed through beta test imho (moving units to attack position or back to the bench is a major part of the UX here)

I, personally, felt the game’s was ready to ship to you all without rearrange attackers and other features. Apologies if you felt that wasn’t the right decision. We will get there!
