[Minimap] Riot, this really bothers me, and I bet you can fix it in under 5 minutes :)

I've been a jungle main for 2 years now, so I'm really excited that Baron and Dragon are different colors on the minimap... but why aren't blue and red buffs?? You already made the blue and red colored icons for jungle timers. Did yall decide not to do this for any reason (and if so can you share), or is this just something that slipped through?

Please and thank you!

C'mon, that would just lower the game's skillcap. Needing sensible minimap icons is what separates average players from the best players. Kappa

Especially now that smaller camps have a weird triangle marker, red and blue could use some different colors to match the timers. I like the idea :)

As long as they have their own icons too. IMO just red and blue would be a problem for people with color blindness.

That would be cool, I don't see why they couldn't.

Man, I was hoping that this was a post about how even if you have minimap movement turned off..it can still happen at times. it's gotten me killed a few times :/ threw the game too.

I totally agree, since they changed the jungle almost completely ( timers, appearance, even the feel of it) these need new icons. it is a suddle , but necessary. And also giving it color blind mode would be great. i am a fan of switching it on and off. just to give me a different feel. i think color customization would be cool as well, but that is a whole other forum post.

Seems like a good idea to me.

Riot does have a colourblind mode for those who need it. This would be awesome If riot did it. As for the jungle timers Riot just applied in patch 4.12 I feel they should be displayed at all times not just in the tab menu, but thats my outlook. Perhaps I read wrong? waiting for NA server to come online...... -.-

I think there's a mention about changing the jungle icons in the patch notes. Don't know if it affects color or not, who knows.
