I don't want to make this sound offensive.....

But why are people with special needs playing LoL? I'm not saying they shouldn't but they are really going to have a tough time enjoying the game if they're colorblind or deaf while they're at it. Hint, there are visual and sound cues to help you dodge and predict skill-shots. Lux especially.

This was made in response to a post whose little brother was deaf and a response to a colorblind player who couldn't see grey health shields.

While Riot does their best to accommodate most players, I don't think they have the time to accommodate everyone.

Sneaky is colorblind. Case closed. Its a game. People can play it. Ur silver 3 and u think ur a normal human being. Sneaky is color blind and is a pro/challenger. As i said before. Case is closed.

I agree with you OP.

Disabled people are heavier than regular people of same elo.

Just get out of disabilty ELO and it's not a problem.

Did you know that there's a blind player that plays wow?

People play league because they want to play. Nothing else really matters.

He didn't say they shouldn't he just can't understand why they'd want to play something where they are disadvantaged.

It's the same reason why guys try to ask out women way out of their leagues, because we are masters of our own fate.

Glutton for punishment more like.

Who would get enjoyment out of running a race where you are the only person weighed down?

Ask those people who are runners despite having prosthetic legs.

Disability doesn't affect your ability to play. Think about the special olympics. Think about an amputee snowboarding. Just because it's hard and enjoyable doesn't mean it's impossible or ppl shouldn't.

Are you kidding?

If disability didn't affect your ability, it wouldn't be a disability.

Think about the special olympics

Notice how these people are in a different league than the regular olympics? Hint: It's because they're disabled.

Just because it's hard and enjoyable doesn't mean it's impossible or ppl shouldn't.

Not impossible, but if I had some shithead playing who couldn't hear Sion or Gnar ults, I'd be pretty pissed.

@OP though, colorblind is meh, not a huge deal. Deaf though, I can fully agree.

HOWEVER.

If you are going to argue that statistically, disabled people are worse at the game or have a higher chance to lose, then they will be in a lower ELO than you and shouldn't be matched with them. If you are matched with then, then you are just as likely to lose as them, so quit bitching.

TLDR: If you are matched with retards, you are just as bad as retards.

Automatically when a person starts with a header such as this one, you know without reading the body of the text that the person is intending to offend a portion of the population.

A shot in the dark: they might be really happy landing a skill shot or killing someone even 1 out of 100 tries. As for the person using the R word, I don't think it says much about them when equating mental retardation with physical disability.

I have always played League without sound. Sneaky is colorblind. There are even those few blind players that do that Lee Sin challenge on Youtube. There's a guy who plays with his feet. There are those who play with a controller. The experience can be different, but that doesn't necessarily make it objectively worse.
