So are we just not gonna talk about New Red and Blue Buffs?

I can barely see these translucent buffs now. There was nothing wrong with old red and blue buff visuals. They perfectly displayed themselves. Now it’s like one guy is attacking me causing me to suddenly catch fire and realize he has red buff. Can we improve the visuals to make it more visible than a faint glow of red or blue? Or revert the change?

edit: Shoutout to the guy who suggested an option for legacy red and blue buffs. That's an amazing idea. I think whoever thinks the buffs are visible can keep the new ones if they like it. In the middle of the chaos, however, I find it hard to see so that's my preference. edit 2: I'm not talking about Baron buff. Baron Buff is really cool and visible due to it's really distinct color. I think it's fine.

Old ones were better.

personally i like the new visuals and dont have an issue seeing them, but indeed rito could make an option that improves their visibility for those who cant see it well atm, or have a legacy blue/red buff visual option like they do with the cursor.

Looks more updated and stacks better with multiple buffs imo.

Biggest problem is contrast and visibility. I dont mind they want to change it but holy fk it is barely visible now. Yesterday one my friends asked me "Hey, whats that blue glow under my character". He did not even realise he got it...

Old ones were perfect.

I think blue buff looks fine if they'd just make it bolder

Red buff looks like sunfire cape

The new effects look like they came out of a Mobile game, not a pc one

Okay Red buff I can understand, it's a really really thin faint red... but the blue buff and baron are quite distinct and visible. Blue buff looks pretty much like a fancier version of its old self and baron buff is dope as hell and really hard to not notice (plus yah know, they walk near a minion and suddenly hey look minion is glowing purple and f**ing me up)

I personally like them more to be honest, only new visual i dont like so far is the red tint over the entire map that infernal adds.-.......i dont mind fire here and there in the jungle or altered terrain but damn something about that red bugs my eyes.

I think it's because dragon souls are now a thing because Riot got bored and felt the need to do something other than actually balance existing items and champions.

And so it was deemed necessary that because any given champion can now have 4 jungle-related buffs active at once that the visuals needed changed to make it so they could stack better.

I personally like the new buffs visuals more, and I have no trouble seeing them.

Had a Teemo against me in a game, I didn't understand how he came back 10 sec later with full health but almost the same mana pool while I cut his HP in half.

He had red, and didn't realize it during the TF

New buff bar symbol? Yes, please, get rid of the MS Paint Icon. New buff ring around my champion? Oh, I didn't realize that I had blue!

You guys need to stop complaining about this nonsense. Just get used to the new ones. That's the entire reason why you think you can't see them because your just not used to looking for it yet which is exactly how the last ones played out too.

I swear the more I read the forums the more blind I think people are..

Make them more saturated or something, you could notice the old ones as soon as an enemy came into view.

Tbh, I look at my passive bar rather than my champ. But yeah after looking at it, seems pretty invisible.
