When I first started playing the game, I assumed from a first few characters at the 1* tier that the order of ability colors (from top to bottom) was the order of strength (descending) of their color matches. That seemed the only reason for there to be any order to the colors in the first place. Fast forward a few weeks/months and I’ve been disabused of that mistaken understanding.
So, is there supposed to be any meaning behind the order of abilities? If not, can we have the abilities re-ordered to be useful as an indicator of the match damage strength? Instead of having to dig into individual characters’ stats to figure out whether Daken is really Purple => Black => Blue (he’s not, he’s Black =>Purple => Blue) you could look at the ability order and instantly know.
Just to be clear, I’m not suggesting that any abilities be changed, or any match damage be changed. I’m purely talking about the order in the interface that the abilities are presented. If Classic Magneto is supposed to be Blue/Red/Yellow, why are his abilities Yellow/Red/Blue, giving precisely the opposite impression of his color strength? etc.
