Tahm Kench Gray Health Bar can't be really distinguished in color blind mode

Hey all! First time posting. I was trying to figure out where to post this (thanks Riot Support for pointing me to the right direction!). But I'll cut to the chase (and sorry if this is a repost).

Tahm Kench's gray health bar isn't quite distinguishable for color blind folks. I just wanted to put this out there just in case no one else posted here. I think there should be a tweak just so that those playing Tahm Kench, with him, or against them should be able to see what health he is at all times since I don't think it is fair that people can't see the gray health bar. I think doing this tweak will be beneficial to those who are colorblind so hopefully rito you can fix this soon!

Thanks! :)

Hell even for NON colorblind people in can be hard to track if it's been activated or not in the clusterfuck that teamfights usually are.

If you can only see black and white what would you expect??? it always going to be a darker color.

Actually i suffer from monochromasia, which is total colorblindness. Things really are just shades of grey for me; but its nit talked about mich and uncommon in the colorblind community.

You can see shades, but you cant see certain colors - and different types and severeness of colorblindness affect different colors.

Doing like 3 minutes of research, it seems as if C9 has Trianopia - they cant see blue (which looks green) or yellow (which is grey). So the yellow heath bar in colorblind mode just blends in to the grey shield.

Ok I was wondering because I am colorblind and can see it ok but I have red/green colorblindness.

Ironic that there logo is blue.

Or does this only apply to certain shades of blue?

Luckily C9 doesn't have to play in any Tahm Kench games until the fix comes in... It's amazing what falls through the cracks sometimes. Nice that it's on their radar now though.

Yeah, I had tweeted to Riot Support/tagged them into Sneaky's tweet..so they became aware about a few days ago..but they just wanted me to post on the forums for good measure.

Again, I am not colorblind but I just did want to put this out there so that everyone is aware that it might affect some people with certain kinds of colorblindness.
