@RIOT, can you be convinced to recolor Foxfire Ahri's orb

Back when Foxfire Ahri came out, the reason given for her orb being blue was because Riot didn't have a way to recolor it. But nowadays, they've managed to have the color of her orbs fit the theme of her skin. I know it would be a bit of work for a purely aesthetic benefit, but I would like Foxfire Ahri's orb to match her flame theme.

If the community were to get a certain number of followers on an online petition or something, could that be used to convince the art team to recolor that skin's orb? Or is there anything that would convince you to recolor it?

The reason her orb is blue is becasue of the blue sphere in the firefox logo.

Wasn't the reasoning for it to stay blue for clarity purposes? I also remember something to do with a negative effect on colorblind players not being able to differentiate a red orb from green orb(when passive is active)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but her sphere is blue for every skin. Ok, Popstar Ahri is more teal.

I remember Riot saying that to maintain clarity of her kit, they didn't want to change the colors. Blue sphere = normal attack, green sphere = spell vamp passive is up. It's like that for all her skins, even the new Arcade skin.

The colorbilnd thing might make sense. But I would hope that they would use another flame like color rather than green for the healing ready orb. Like red for standard and yellow for healing.

Challenger Ahri also has a different colored orb. But now that you mention it, they are all blue and green themed.

Weird, for some reason, I remember Riot saying that they didn't have the tools to change the colors back then. I might be remembering stuff wrong.

That would have been odd, but it WAS a long time ago. People have been asking for a red orb for years and years. It never happened, and probably never will... I would love to see them change their minds, though.
