Summoners Rift Tint is problematic for some colorblind players

cthowo·Nov 22, 2019·3 votes·2,793 views

The last few days in Summoners Rift's dragon changes have caused some issues discerning character models abilities on the new Summoners Rift post Dragon shift because of my colorblindness. I have seen people mention it on the boards, and in Meddler's post he mentioned it slightly that the Infernal Drake tint made it difficult for some users to see ability edges like Akali shroud. While I understand that it is not the highest priority, as colorblindness is not all that common is there perhaps in the future going to be a way to disable to tint on summoners rift as either part of the colorblind settings, or separate from the colorblind settings? I really understand that it is not an optimal choice, and the new Summoners Rift shifts look great, but as a colorblind player I feel like I suffer a little because of the dragon tints.

Isnt there a colorblind mode?

I remember it was one of those "challenger tricks" to have it on when playing against singed as it made his gas really easy to see and avoid.

color-blind mode makes it even harder to tell (im not colorblind but i use it to distinguish abilities from grass and water and what not)

infernal is like Nocturne ult, anywhere that you dont have a ward under you or a turret nearby

there is. but the point of this post is that the provided color blindness settings do not help. There are 7 types of colorblindness and league only supports high contrast as a solution. Little things like changing green to yellow for the player's character and sharpening some of the tints. this does not actually benefit color blind players that suffer from green/blue color blindness. only red/green.

as someone that has protanomaly, when infernal rift kicks in, some characters are impossible to play, lux, vayne and vel'koz with the yellow skin , i hope they put a mode to disable the effects
