K so please add a "fake" or "clone" text to Shaco and LB Clones visible to allies only

They're discouraging it because its a lazy ask. You should be able to be able to learn how to tell them apart in a hectic team fight, not beg for riot to make the game simpler. If you fuck in in game because of a system designed help you fuck up, its on you.

when there is a big battle with lots of particle density it's hard to track, and sorry if i dont study every skins color patterns and what color there clone will be.

But you'll notice the word 'clone' next to their username?

I mean, I know everyone focuses differently, but in a teamfight, both text and a small colour change are the same if you're trying to see a lot of things at once.

It's the skins that bother me. I can usually tell a Shaco from his clone if he's a normal Shaco, but when he's using some rare skin that I rarely see? I have no way of knowing. I'm not familiar enough with that skin to know which one is the clone and which one is the real one.

Also bear in mind that this is something that is very hard to learn as someone who isn't the one actually playing Shaco. If you play Shaco a lot, you'll quickly get used to which colour your champion is and which colour your clone is. The other players on your team will only see you occasionally, and will usually be focusing on something else at the time, and will actually see your clone even more rarely. You need to play a lot of games with a Shaco on your team to really get enough time with the clone colours to become familiar with them, and then multiply that for each of his skins.

Just making all of the clones greyed out would make it much easier to grasp.

I always shield the clone as Janna because that's the thing that moves into fights and takes damage and I get flamed literally every fight for not being quick enough with the shield. Even though they're out of range or it's on CD or I'm oom. It's like a support reflex. Then sometimes I'll shield the one I believe to be real, but it turns out the player is juking. So the one standing still that died that I didn't bother shielding, because the one that was running away got the shield?

Plsplspls Rito do this. Every half second matters and it takes a second to see which is real.

I'm colorblind. I basically don't pick kayle when my team picks LB/Shaco cuz i know im going to fuck it up. For some god forsaken reason they thought that coloring one shaco red and the other shaco green was a good fucking idea.

Wait but the clones are different colors if you are in their team.

color blind people?

A unique color on the health bar would probably be the best. Most people just look at those anyway in a high stress situation.

SO TRUDEAU

I like this idea. Along with perhaps a total palette change that's consistent across skins. Like, just wash them out in solid gray, even. That even kind of reads as "fake", in a Pleasantville sort of way.

tried lb durign free week... had an ally try to save my clone... my original died

my teammate's attempt at saving me killed me................. how ironic

I've had the opposite, and intentionally tried to heal and shield the clone to save an ally. The way people work, if the clone isn't doing something odd like running into a wall, is that they think you'd never waste your spells on the clone, so they disregard the real one. It led to a clean getaway for LeBlanc.

I often end up doing this by accident and then claiming it was mindgames all along.

some people are color blind. At the very least make c/b mode change the color to magenta/cyan. That's pretty much the only universal set that everyone can tell apart.

They are. Perhaps when they are wearing a skin that you don't know yet it might fool you. Maybe the clones should be completely grey to their own team.

That's not what colorblindness even is in the first place (For most people)

In general, they just see different colors than we see, not no colors at all.

They already are differently colored you idiet.

Im replying to this kind of old comment, just to say idiot*, idiot...

Some of Shacos skins use different colors. If you don't play as or with Shaco often, you might not be able to tell at an instant. Also, if you don't play as champions that can interact with their clones, it was never important, untill those champs become meta again.

In a chaotic teamfight, that's a terrible option.
