Prevent accidental close-outs by moving the options button or requesting confirmation to close mid-match
Many times, when going to the options gear icon, the windows "x" to close out the client will get clicked instead since the two are in close proximity. While going to forfeit is a common use case for the options button, closing out the game is different. It means going through the client's start up and loading back into the game all over again, all the while wasting time for the opponent who has to sit and wait for my rope to burn.
There are two UI solutions to this. One is to move the gear away from the area where the close window box is, shifting it to one of the other corners. The other option is to ask for a confirmation to close out while mid-match to prevent accidental misclicks.
I'm aware for people that can play on mobile or fullscreen this is less of an issue, but it shouldn't have to be an issue at all.
