Isn't it time for an updated cursor?

I'm surprised that one hasn't already been introduced. With all of the changes to the UI and the announcements visuals that have taken place over the last year or so, the cursor is starting to look a bit dated and out-of-place. It's not difficult to replace it with an updated one. Snap to it, Rito!

One that doesn't match the browns and greens of the old (live) SR would be nice for people with colorblindness, like me.

Colorblind mode does nothing to help in that regard as well. :(

I think it's fine but it's all in the eyes of the beholder

Sometimes in the middle of a teamfight I'll lose track of my cursor because it doesn't stand out enough. This happens more often than you'd think. I'm not colorblind or anything, but it's almost like the cursor just vanishes into the background due to too many distractions.

I'd love to use a cursor that has multiple bright colors and is impossible to miss, even if it looks garish. Many games will let the player select the cursor size/shape/color, so why can't Riot implement something like that?

I'd like the option to buy/unlock some different ones, sort of like Ward skins or something, especially champion-specific ones (if there are particular events, etc.)

Eh. I like it as it is, but if it changes I probably won't be too agitated about it.

i'd rather just have a normal pointer...but instead stupid finger that isn't even exactly where you're clicking. Its a little off.

Well skins are supposedly too, but it doesn't always turn out that way.

Why not just make it a normal cursor instead of a hand, and change the colors, make it hd etc.
