Urgent changes for disabled players.

Hanza·Mar 13, 2019·152 votes·20,793 views

I'm here to represent those, who suffer from incurable eye diseases. Because we have vision problems, there is a problem with mouse pointer colour in the game - it blends/merges with the whole game environment. As a result, we often lose the pointer in sight during the fight. This leads to the making of false movements. For example, as far as i remember, Counter Strike 1.6 creators made an option to change aim/target colour by yourself (greem/blue/red/yellow/..). So i'm asking - is it possible to make the mouse pointer brighter to those like me? Is it possible to let us change colour in the middle of the mouse pointer (for example - bright green dot in the middle of it) or pointer contours/edges colour (to set bright colour around the mouse pointer)? I'm sorry for grammar mistakes. Thanks for your understanding.

Why do Yasuo mains need urgent changes?

You're going to hell for this.

And I'm going right next to you for laughing at it.

General MattyMar 14, 20192 votes

Oh so you think it's funny to make a joke at a disabled persons expense

Serika ZeroMar 14, 20192 votes

Ofc is funny, jokes are always funny when they are at someone else's expense.

karolmoMar 14, 20193 votes

It's a fucking joke jesus

Serika ZeroMar 15, 20192 votes

That was the point... I explained that jokes are funny even if someone's special feelings get hurt by them

Sometimes you've got to be the punch line Sometimes you get to tell the joke

Don't even joke about that, the moment riot actually cashes in on the idea of rift maps, announcers, music, banners, cursors, etc. they're going to prestige the hell out of them.

Have you tried reverting to the legacy pointer? Is it still the same? (sorry if I am not helpful, this is all I could think of)

HanzaMar 15, 20191 votes

Hello. Thank you for this comment. Yes, i and other tried. But we still think, that pointer could have more settings for people, who have an eye diseases.

Warlord RhinarkMar 14, 20196 votes

The Legacy Cursor should help.

It's completely yellow when it's not targetting something, and turns completely blue when it is.

HanzaMar 15, 20191 votes

Thanks for your comment. I agree with you, that the legacy cursor is a better option because it is yellow. But it was created just to play the game (old LOL pointer), not to help those who can't see that well. That pointer could be adapted more to help be in control of your pointer.

Dark Star DianaMar 14, 20195 votes

u know u can use the legacy cursor too right?

HanzaMar 15, 20191 votes

Thanks for your comment. We know about the legacy cursor. But it was created just to play the game (old LOL pointer), not to help those who can't see that well. That pointer could be adapted more to help be in control of your pointer.

Daddy AntsMar 14, 20193 votes

When I read the title... Yasuo mains came to mind.

This Is Your DadMar 14, 20192 votes

I don't have an eye disease but I often have trouble spotting it at certain times too. Too much going on.

HanzaMar 15, 20191 votes

It is fun not to be alone with this problem. Thank you for your comment.

Ionian VulpixMar 14, 20192 votes

How would this help my top laners?

kayochanMar 14, 20192 votes

Not disabled, but i would love to have the option of a stronger mouse color. I do agree that it blends in too much with the background...ESPECIALLY during team fights.

HanzaMar 15, 20191 votes

Thank you for your comment and the same idea. Cheers!

Try using YoloMouse.

HanzaMar 15, 20191 votes

Thank you for reacting. Is it safe to use it in LOL? However, developers could make changes to avoid using such extraneous ways.

pyscHOTicTwinkleMar 15, 20192 votes

I can't tell you 100%, but I've used the program (YoloMouse) for several seasons now, and have never received so much as a warning. I would highly recommend that you try it based on reading your OP.

edit: Perhaps with as much attention as this thread has picked up you could get a rioter to verify whether or not YoloMouse is a violation of the ToS. Although honestly if I were banned for using it I would just quit playing LoL altogether. It's become that vital to my gameplay experience.

RISE Shlack123Mar 15, 20191 votes

Yeah, YoloMouse is safe for use in LoL. It doesn't break ToS, and it's been discussed on the boards a few years back. It's simply a cursor overlay, and doesn't give you any competitive advantage. I've used it for 2 years-ish, and I've never so much as encountered a problem with Riot.

What I would like to see is Riot officially endorse YoloMouse since vision impairments are very common. And since it's hard to adjust for the variety of impairments people can have, simply endorsing an effective tool would be the next best thing to developing something similar in-house.

Edit: it's never been officially spoken about by a Riot member, so I'm just going off my own experience using YM for multiple years now.

RISE Shlack123Mar 15, 20192 votes

Check out YoloMouse - I'm an older guy with eyesight problems, and I really like YoloMouse because it has a lot of color palettes and sizes you can choose. And it's not against ToS because it doesn't give an unfair advantage - it's literally just a cursor skin. Give it a try!

pyscHOTicTwinkleMar 15, 20192 votes

Yep, I've used YoloMouse for years. Got tired of losing my mouse cursor in teamfights and walking into melee range as an adc. Got a nice bright cursor that is impossible to miss. I highly recommend it to anyone who has this issue.

6 Years UnrankedMar 13, 20191 votes

Just make the pointer bigger lol

HanzaMar 15, 20191 votes

Thank you for your comment. But it is not the best solution to this problem.

14daysuspensionkMar 13, 20191 votes

I think I remember RIot making some sort of video awhile back talking about some gamemodes or something specifically made for colorblind people, not sure if it's reliable but it's just a suggestion if you're struggling and haven't heard of this.

HanzaMar 15, 20192 votes

It's good to hear, that there are some sort of videos, but the reason why we have to discuss this - because the video creation alone does not solve the main problem. So we want to send the messege, that we have difficulties with pointer settings and we need help.

Hellmaximus1Mar 14, 20191 votes

This is why I use the Legacy cursor, it's not the best but it's way better than the newer cursor style.

HanzaMar 15, 20191 votes

Thanks for your reacting. I agree, that the legacy cursor is better, but as i mentioned in other comments, developers could update pointer settings to help those, who have difficulties with their eyes.

I have disabled sight myself. There are cursor add-ons which works great with LoL. I could link it here but maybe it's not a good idea because I don't know Riot rules. You should just Google it. You will find it. It starts with Y.

It's best not to use any add-ons at all because the anti-cheat system could pick up on them and you'll get banned for "Hacking/Cheating."

Jennifer420Mar 14, 20191 votes

hm... allowing your playerbase to decide how big they want the chat window... what color they want their cursor... what side they want the friendslist on... sorry we at rito shames will ignore your wishes cause fuck you. kind regards rito shames riots symbol (<- thats the riot fist but how it should look)

As a person that has severe Keratoconus (pretty much multiple ghost visions), I had to play around with my monitor settings, I had to make the screen just a little darker, just anything to tone down the brightness, I also lock my screen alot and it does help

HanzaMar 15, 20191 votes

Thank you for your comment. I can say, that i'm too with Keratoconus (one eye is in the last stage, other is better). So yeah, we really know that ghost vision effect and other difficulties. We really would like to get more attention to help solve this problem for those like us.

DumberThoughtsMar 14, 20191 votes

Just a suggestion, but maybe you should change the title of this post to "Urgot changes for disabled players."

These players have enough problems already, being disabled, and maybe if we limit their available champion pool (to Urgot), it would force them to really master that champ and not be at such a competitive disadvantage.

We've all had the experience of having a disabled player on our team who can't play his champ.. kinda frustrating.

SaevumMar 14, 20191 votes

Making an option for the pointer colour shouldn't be that hard. It won't make the client crash right?

HanzaMar 15, 20191 votes

I hope, that it won't.. But somehow, till now we have only two pointers - main and the legacy cursor... Btw - thank you for reacting.

Dope SoloMar 15, 20191 votes

Well, this finally explains the matchmaker. Have an upvote.

TormentulaMar 15, 20191 votes

Feel sorry for you, they should at least make "chroma options" for minions and cursors for you to use.

HanzaMar 15, 20191 votes

Thank you for your comment. I hope, that developers of the game will see this discussion.

HanzaMar 15, 20191 votes

I have read all of your comments. I did not answer only those who were a joke. Thank you for reacting. Really. At this moment - 15k views in just two days. Many have suggested the Legacy cursor or to use different programs but we think that this problem could be solved by some creator-specific cursor modifications that would help both eye-suffers and those who also have difficulties with existing pointer. I just don't know how to get an official answer from creators/developers of the game - Are they going to do something? Is it possible? If not - why? If yes - when and how they are going to help us? But at this moment - i got only copy/paste answer.. That is quite sad. So yeah... here we are. #Hanza
