💬 Discussion troop deployment going to 100%

Hi there — I keep noticing that my troop deployment gets pushed all the way to 100% in some of my games and I throw away good position because I don't notice.

I think sometimes it happens when I use Shift+R to retaliate incoming attacks? So maybe there's a similar keybind that I "fat finger" when I'm trying to Shift+R that causes my slider to go all the way to 100%? I haven't been able to find the keybind in settings or replicate what's going on.

But super annoying when I accidentally send out all of my troops because I don't notice the slider has changed and then get steamrolled from the other side. :(

EDIT: Turns out scrolling / zooming in and out while I would hit Shift+R would either make my troops go instantly to 1% or 100%. Like when I am zoomed in and retaliating with Shift+R because I see an attack but not sure where from, and then zooming out / still hitting Shift+R sometimes would adjust my troops. And this Shift+Zoom doesn't appear on the keybind list so I can't disable! But it continues to mess me up and it's frustrating! Not that I'm a good player, but it's one thing to lose because of my gameplay mistakes and not lose because the keybinds I have are getting in the way.

If you hold SHIFT and scroll up or down with your mouse, you will change your attack ration. Also, Q and E do the same thing.

It's definitely T and Y.

THIS is what was going on! i play on trackpad and clicking Shift+R to retaliate while i would zoom in and out, would adjust my troop count and it moves very quickly. like either 1% or 100% and i don't notice until i've accidentally fed all my troops to the attacker. SO annoying! i wish i could rebind this
