Description

I attacked with two creatures. Opponent had two creatures. I briefly saw the arrow for one creature designated as a blocker then it was gone again, so I thought opponent changed mind.

The game then gave the popup to order blockers. The image showed both my attackers with red arrows going to face (no blocker arrows). I had to read the text to double-check which creature was being blocked.

After I chose the order of the blockers, the blocker arrows showed up correctly.

I am wondering if perhaps there was a minor network issue and the information didn't get relayed at the right point. Sorry I didn't get a screenshot at the time. I thought I would post this issue in case it happens again, but am hoping it was just a packet loss issue.

Research direction

Start by reproducing combat with two attackers and two blockers, then observe the blocker arrows before and after the blocker-order prompt. Check whether the arrows consistently show the assigned blockers before ordering; the issue is done when the visual assignments remain accurate throughout combat.
