NEED Option to Remove the in-Battle Chat button

The new location of the button for in-battle chat is a a huge inconvenience. It interferes with the mechanics of gameplay.
It's location causes the button to get inadvertently pressed during battle frequently. It's extremely frustrating to be mid-battle, and think you are hitting your nitro button, and then the chat window pops up. One explosive cannon crit later, and you are done. This affects the outcome of a battle for all 10 players, not just one. This should be fixed immediately.

I understand you changed the button location to make it more compatible with new phones/tables.
PLEASE, give us the option to remove it from the battle screen in the "customize settings". I would rather lose the ability to chat, than to lose the battle because my nitro didn't work.

 

Up. On iphone the pressure of the chat button happens easily with the palm of the hand. 98% of what I say in battle is a missed shot.

 

Every other game I miss a shot, or have a miss timed Nitro because that chat button gets hit accidently.
