Rek'Sai tunnels are purple and red on minimap

ShadowGlaive213··27 votes·1,888 views

Just played a game with 2 Rek'Sai's and kept getting tunnels mixed up because my ally's tunnels are purple while the enemy is red both of which are colors historically associated with the upper side of the map (I was blue side). I think the color of the tunnels on the mini-map should be changed to improve clarity.

Anyone else?

Honestly I think you confusing it for an enemy tunnel is just the fact that the champ is new and the red border change is as well, shouldn't take more than a week to get used to it :p

They should be blue/red depending on which side.

Or green/red.

What colors are known for historically doesn't change that red usually means bad in any other instance. It isn't hard to remember that red means danger.

When you see a red one, you know red = enemy. But in cases where you only see purple ones, you might think they are from the enemy...

Or you can stop and think for half a second and remember that purple is friendly and red is not? It takes all of maybe ten brain cells.

I agree it is a bit confusing right now but adjusting shouldn't take much time, have you tried color-blind mode?

The point of changing the purple side to red on the new SR was to eliminate the need for color-blind mode. Following that logic it shouldn't be purple-red, it should be blue-red.

I've literally only played Rek'Sai for my last 10 matches and havn't experienced this issue. It sounds like a personal problem, regardless, I see no reason why Riot wouldn't change it from purple to blue if it causes ANYONE a problem as only good can come of it.

You are mistaken, they are purple FOR clarity

You need to be able to tell them apart from wards on the mini map for clicking purposes (especially if you have tele and rek ult to toggle between)

It is VERY good that they are purple, they stand out from everything else making it easier to use them

(in case you arent aware you can warp to things by clicking them on the mini map)

Roit did it right, DO NOT CHANGE THE COLOR
