Healthbar update, Warwick, and other unplayable content

My eyes are not as bad as some, but they are definitely not the best. I have Astigmatism, which while usually not bad for most aspects for League, are daunting for others. That being said, with today's update your game is borderline unplayable for me, and I would guess others like myself. Let me explain.

The new healthbars look extremely bad in fights for me. It appears there are giant blue/red splotches hovering over all the champs. During most of the game I couldn't even tell what level everyone was unless I was tabbed and hovered over them. This change made the entire teamfight (and I only played a 3's to test) feel bad. I did well in that game, but by the time it was done I couldn't play another. My eyes were teared up the entire game and had it went longer I don't know if I could have kept watching the champions. It felt like I was looking at the sun for 16 minutes.

Warwick is the exact same for me. I have made threads in the past, as well as even went so far as to contact Riot support...they said post on forums which didn't get a reply. The red aura he emits when using hit blood scent or w/e it is called is an instant migraine for me. I used to love playing the old WW. The new one seems quite fun and since it has been months? year~ since his rework I had hoped every time they would add some support removing the red eye candy from that ability and simply putting a small arrow or something in place if you had colour blind mode on (I use it because it's easier on the eyes...or was) or the removal of eye candy option that rift has.

There was another instance this game was close to unplayable for me, the gangplank event when all the interfaces were changed. A lot of people said it hurt their eyes and it was fixed, which I am very grateful for or I could no longer play. With preseason and the team working on adjusting everything more actively than normal I'm asking please look at these and make a more eye friendly option. I play on min settings (I7 Nvidia 745 16gb ram fiber optic connection) simply because it is easier on the eyes. I know there are tons of people with worse eyes than mine that would also appreciate a small tweak here and there on some of your harsher colour patterns.

oh and for those that wonder I use 1280x720 full with very low detail and everything eye candy related turned off. Has worked for me for years.

Thanks

My eyes are pretty bad myself, I lost a trade in lane because inhale to actually focus to see the level on the bar and I thought both of us were 5, then I got popped up by poppy's ult and it gave her the time to reposition a charge

It's weird how different content takes off on reddit but is ignored on the boards.
