New (Mountain Drake?) Map Changes in Season 10 *NEEDS TO BE FIXED FOR COLORBLIND PEOPLE*

The Thumb··72 votes·15,748 views

I was watching a video on YouTube showing gameplay on the PBE of the new season patch, and at one point in the video, while next to the raptor pit, heading towards the river, there is a new "rock formation" that protrudes out of the ground and acts as new terrain. I watched as the YouTuber ran to it and stopped to use the fog of war to hide from the enemy Kai'sa and get a free stun off as Udyr, and almost killing her, causing her to blow her flash. This all sounds fine right? Well I am colorblind. I DID NOT realize that the place the Udyr was standing was behind terrain and was confused as to why the Kai'sa was "melee ranging" him until the YouTuber mentioned something about "hiding behind the rock was broken." I had to go back and rewatch it and stare at it hard to realize it wasn't just cracked ground, but was actually new, elevated, untraversable, terrain. Is there any way that it could be touched up some visually? Adding some contrast would help me out tremendously, as well as anyone else with a visual impairment.

Color Blind mode affects particles and interface things, it doesn't affect the actual map.

not to mention - when a lot of players are wearing skins it really REALLY causes frame drops.

Huh, guess now I know how to counter colorblind people.

The models and textures are pretty rough atm, not the final version. They still need some work, as it seems really out of place and shadeless

@Riot. This. As a colorblind player the new dragon changes are hard to see, especially with mountain drake. Please change and give more contrast.
