Clarity Improvement Request: Variations on Team Colors

oinkwentmoo·Sep 9, 2017·2 votes·305 views

Teams with similar color schemes (FLY and DIG chiefly) makes the champion select view extremely unattractive and unpleasant to look at (see picture). Color scheme variation for the champion select screen would make it much easier on the eyes. Either emphasize the black or white in FLY or DIG please.

This could be expanded to different colors based on whether the team is on blue side or red side similar to how professional sports teams have different jerseys when they are at home or away.

See, I'd personally just like to see each team adopt a "home" and "away" jersey scheme similar to what happens in actual sports, as to make games far more entertaining (potentially adding stats to go along with this). They could also add some sort of alternate jersey to go along with it for special occasions (all-stars).

I wouldn't necessarily say "home" or "away" because there's somewhat of a location custom that does not exist in eSports unless you count the country the tournament is held on. Say a team gets a "home" and "away" jersey. What's home? What's away? It's not exactly plug and play for video games in that fashion unless we're talking sports games which already have that in tradition. It just wouldn't work.

If it's colors that's the factor, even the boxing route could be disputed. Generally teams do have two specific color schemes associated with their org. The catch is that a lot of teams happen to dip into blacks, whites, or blues or their jersey variants could be misleading to the indicated overlay color: G2 for example utilizing a red overlay despite their jerseys sporting black and white.

I for one agree yet disagree with the OP. It's such a minor visual factor that shouldn't be too accounted for given its use for domestic competition in NA, EU, and LPL. Now if they brought said overlay to a competition featuring C9, CLG, SSG, AFS, H2K, WS, GIA, and whatever other blue logo team I'm missing, then we'll have problems.

In this case I just blame Flyquest on being too lazy and using the same damn shade of yellow as Dignitas, a team long established with its logo and color. There's enough shades of gold and yellow that it's pretty pitiful.

I honestly just minimize my screen or have another site up while the teams do their champion select and just listen, we already know the champions that will be picked anyways so no real reason to look at the champion select.
