Can we remove audio only cues?

I don't play with sound because I listen to music, and I know a large majority of my friends do as well, not to mention all the players that are deaf/have ear issues like tinnitus.

Playing against champions like Sion and Kled are extremely frustrating because there is no way to tell when they ult. The same with Corki and his package.

The counterplay to these types of abilities is the sound, so they either need to add a visual or fix them.

People have been asking for visual cues to Kled and Sion for a while, do they still not have them? Riot need to add them if not.

Corki is kinda hard to do as he doesn't actually go that far. Jinx, Ezreal and alike would need it too however to be 'fair' which would/might be a massive nerf to them.

I actually like these audio cues. A better solution would be to make a "hearing-impaired" mode, just like there is a colorblind mode in the options. Not sure what kind of visual signal could be used though.

Orrrrr turn sound on? Why purposely play at a disadvantage? Deaf people sure, but people like you are just handicapping yourselves.

I like the idea of a 'deaf mode'. I use the sound on mundo cleavers when bush checking so much that I'd be a weaker mundo player without it. There are actually a lot more audio information issues than most people realise.
