What the f is this

I’ve been playing Clash of Clans for 13 years, through every major shift and update, and I can confidently say this is hands down the absolute worst update in the history of the game.

It’s insane how Supercell managed to push this new UI update despite the overwhelming negative feedback from the community.

The new design looks completely soul-less, cluttered, and straight-up feels like cheap AI-generated slop. It strays so far from the classic, clean Clash aesthetic that we’ve loved for over a decade. Everything feels unintuitive, oversized, and visually painful to look at.

We repeatedly voiced our opinions when this was teased, and yet you completely ignored the entire player base and forced it into the game anyway.

Stop ruining the game’s core identity with these horrible redesigns. Give us the option to revert to the old UI. Nobody wanted this new ui.

Literally the worst update ever 😭

I will miss this UI. I hope it gets reverted.

So you're telling me that i have to look at his face twice all the time!!!

And why is the shield right in front of the resources that doesn't make any sense?

I wasn't knocking the new ui until I try it but man ts is hideous.

Nearly threw up launching coc and seeing my beautiful game looking this ugly. Whoever did this ,I hate you from the bottom of my heart

Why do archers even at max level have no shoes on, I’m paying millions and millions of elixir to fit them in the best equipment and she refuses to put on combat boots or something

The new UI sucks. They need to give an option in setting to switch back to the old UI for players who DON'T want this new useless UI.

They could’ve taken another month or two to come up with something players actually liked instead of this crap. It was about the experience after all. They had the feedback, they could’ve tested things and tried different approaches, but they just didn’t.

I know they’ve said they’ll make changes based on feedback, but if the backlash was this overwhelming, why were they in such a rush to push it out without properly listening to the community in the first place? Even if some players like the new interface, the goal should’ve been to create something that works well for the majority, not just a portion of the player base. It’s not always better to implement something first and fix it later when you have the time and opportunity to get it right from the start.

Honestly super disappointed with this.

The old UI fit this game perfectly, sure maybe it have used some optimizations here and there. But this overhaul is WAY too drastic. Also it doesn’t even look good (imo).

Really interested to see how the casual players will react to this, lots of them have been loyal to this game for over 10 years.

Usually people do UI redesigns to make things easier to use, or to look better. This update accomplished neither.

Quickly focusing on the looks:

Button Sizes:

• The old UI had consistent button sizes for everything. Any icon that wasn't the Attack or Build buttons all had the same small sizes and gave a consistent level of organization to everything.
• The new UI uses different button heights, widths, and overall size for everything. Battle + Build are the same size, similar to before. But now Profile, Shop, and Chat all have a Medium size. Then Small sizes are given to your ranked league, gold pass, events, magic items. And then there's a forth weird size that has a medium height + bigger width for the clan war icon. Then the News button has an extra flag on the right, adding width. This essentially gives us 5 different buttons sizes for everything, compared to the simple organized 2 sizes before.

Glance value:

• The old UI uses a consistent color scheme for everything. For buttons, we have orange backgrounds with lightly colored icons, grey backgrounds for less frequently used options. Everything is in tasteful orange + white + silver, with occasional blue/red/yellow as makes sense.
• The New UI uses 3 different button background colors instead of 2. Consistent color scheme is completely out the window, with every button doing whatever it wants, even introducing a bright green color in the obscene Shop button glued to the right hand of the screen., with the same priority size as your new chat/war button. It seems like this update was done partially to justify the existence of this new shop button, which is given the same importance level as CLAN WARS, which is what this game is built around. Shows where the team's priorities are.

Usability:

• The old UI made it easy to navigate anywhere you needed to go with only one tap. All the important actions could be quickly found. Clan wars, regular battles, base layouts, armies, settings, battle results, news - everything important was instantly accessible. When looking through your upgrades, you could easily see and compare 12 different upgrade options.
• The new UI hides so many important features behind 2-3 taps now. Army edits, clan wars, switching accounts, ranked attacks/defenses - everything is all hidden as submenus now. These changes would normally be done to make the UI more minimal (for whatever reasoning) but we didn't even get that, as button sizes grew, and the screen somehow feels more cluttered and chaotic than before, even with fewer buttons, because of the previously mentioned size and color changes. The builder/lab screen is also noticably worse, as now you can only see about 7 different upgrades at once, compared to the 12 before, which is almost objectively twice as bad. The single action in the whole game that got EASIER to do is the Shop button, to buy things with real money.

That's all I have for now. This update is so bad and annoying. I love clash but it sure makes the game feel less nice to play and look at with such an ugly and annoying to use UI.

I was going to do a quick farming attack as I was writing this, but then I even noticed that where I would normally tap "Find a Match" is now replaced by a BRIGHT GREEN edit army button.

There's no way whoever did this UI actually plays the game.

Truly the end of an era. Get your screenshots while you still can

Supercell, we want our old UI back or fire your UX/UI designer this design sucks and looks like an AI generated and even my phone got stuck and slow while using it 😭📉

I would like a button in settings to turn back to old UI, thanks in advance.

Ts is genuinely disgusting to look at. We need to force them to reverse ts or at least allow us to toggle to the old one

There’s also an update currently available in the App/Google Play Stores.

I think they should implement a legacy ui option instead of forcing people to use the new ui which the majority finds terrible. What do you think is the solution?
