I'm colorblind and I can't see crucial effects

Avulo·May 10, 2016·26 votes·1,321 views

Recently I was in a game playing against a Blood Moon Yasuo mid lane and I noticed that I could never see the animation for when his tornado was ready on his Q. It's only on this skin too this is first time I've noticed this kind of thing for I've never played against the skin before in lane. I lost lane because I could never tell when his tornado was charged so it would seem like he's randomly throwing them out whenever so I could never be prepared early on when I first noticed of this. I am even in colorblind mode too so that's not the reason why I can't see this certain effect. I haven't found anyother effects that I can't see and hopefully I won't. I'm curious if other colorblind people are having the same problem.

I'm not colorblind and even I have trouble seeing that skins tornado.. then again, riot does love to make skins have an advantage over no skins.

I think they will change it once they know about it. Riot never said "NO" to the problems like that. Put this on reddit if you can with picks or something. It will always boost amount of ppl who will check it out.

There is audio queues but if it is an issue, I would believe RIOT could change some of the skins to help elevate this.

Haha, don't worry man, at least it's only an indicator that you didn't see. Plus, there is an audio indication. I can't see Headhunter Nidalee's spear, so it's always a pleasure to play against that ;D But yea, Riot sure loves to do skins that are not as clear as the base skin. Those skins shouldn't even exist, and Riot acknowledged that they were unfair by banning them in tournament.

I made a post about this on the skins release actually, and no, I really can't see it. The only way I ever know is if I hear it, but since there's so much red it just blends in.

No, I'm not colour blind.

I think the best thing for this would be extremely customizable options for colour blindness

I believe that is one of the few skins not allowed in competeition. It does make it much harder to see his animations.

I actually rely on the sound he make more than in the animation same for multiple other skills I could play without sound that's for sure

I'm also colorblind and often lose my mouse cursor in hectic teamfights.

I would much prefer Cyan or white over a red and green mouse.

But the mouse is brown

If it makes you feel better op... I'm not color blind and even I have trouble seeing it specifically on blood moon Yas. Not sure if it's the particle itself, the color blends or something else. It's almost like the particle is missing part of it.

While I see it, the color blind mode should have the effect color changed to make it a different more easy to read color for those with color blindness. That mode is about convenience, more then about looking "pretty".
