Colourblind mode needs a serious update

The current colourblind mode is great, but I feel like it needs a very heavy update regarding some champions and skins. I usually hate to complain but I really cannot see some things such as: Lunar Wraith Caitlyn's R, all of Xerath's abilities (except for his e), Jayce's ranged Q and I still can't see Singed's trail even if I use colourblind mode. I feel it would be really beneficial if there were other "modes" of colourblind mode. The lack of colourblind support makes it extremely frustrating to play against these champions or skins and I think updating it would solve a lot of problems me and and a lot of other people have.

They could add an option to remove certain problematic skins from colourblind mode and you see them as the base skin maybe? I don't think they are really gonna invest much money on a feature like that, I wish they did though.

I agree, some of what Jhin said above is true too, the colorblind mode is great, but there needs to be more versions, or at least a better fix for those who really have difficulty seeing.

There should be ways to customize the colors of the abilities of every champion as well as the cursor and any other necessary indicators. There should even be options to change the color of the vignette that appears when you take damage if you want to toggle it. I mean it really shouldn't be that hard to allow colorblind players to just choose what color they want to tint different things in the game. You can literally do the same thing in 10 seconds in any photo editor, it can't be that hard to make happen.

Also funny is that a ton of people including streamers and pro-players that aren't colourblind using colourblind modus because of that yellow HP bar and some other things.

wait, we can't change our HP bar to be yellow anymore from the game files?

THIS. (I actually came here to post about the same thing but see it was already mentioned). Specifically I wanted to mention the Ziggs ult. I find it difficult to spot the indicator on the current ARAM map as well as on Summoner's Rift sometimes. There are other problems too like all the ones you mentioned, this was the only one I was able to think of though. Adding more customization and options for changing stuff for anyone's needs would be helpful. That sounds like a lot of work though : / so even just changing some of the specific problems would be enough imo

ARAM is so hard to see in gener, even for non colorblind people
