Can we disable chroma skins when they come out?

I'm kind of not interested in having purple zeds and orange lucians running around the map and confusing me in the middle of teamfights. I was wondering if we could get the option to just... you know, have the regular colours the champions are supposed to have.

Because colours help me identify champions in my peripheral vision when in the middle of a hectic team fight. Trying to fight a black zed one game and then next game zed is a bright orange, then the next game he's green, doesn't really help with the whole instant identification thing.

Maybe it wouldn't matter for you, but for some it does. Especially at higher ranked ladders, where every little bit counts. Not trying to force this on everybody, I just want it as a toggled option for those that care.

Hey SMlTE,

We don't have plans to disable chromas for other players. If someone is using a chroma, you'll see the chroma they have selected.

Um

What in the world would "confuse" you?

I completely agree with you...I hate the idea of having a ton of rainbow colored people running around instead of the normal skin colors. The Blitzcrank colors for example, are very jarring. I would LOVE an option to disable the chromas. Purple Zed's and the like feel like they would REALLY pull you out of the universe and make the game just feel cheesy. I'm really glad I'm not the only person who feels this way.

For example, some skins are just irritating to look at. Maybe Riot will release well done versions that aren't so offensive to the eyes, but I sure as hell never want to see these skins in game: http://i.imgur.com/2q1qTZ2.jpg http://i.imgur.com/II7wDLS.png http://imgur.com/a/afNOw http://gyazo.com/ec7038d0f91277ca62d61ac10a65bc22 http://gyazo.com/d412154f98208f00d74cda7e90d2d9a2

Why would that be confusing???

If you have a team of 5 and lucian isn't on your team you should probably be looking to kill him no matter what color he is.

Why on Earth is this being downvoted? The guy is making a very reasonable request.

You don't have to downvote every single post that questions Riot's glorious Chromas.

Chroma's are just like skins except they are just a recolor. IDK how a different color would confuse you more then a skin that gives a brand new outfit and model.

Also, it's funny how all these low-rank people are ragging on me telling me I shouldn't play. I'm still better than you, so calling me out on it is pointless.

yes... i dident play for a while but when i saw chroma skins this is what i thought too

if that confuses you, you probably shouldn't be playing league.

I don't see any valid reasoning here; chroma skins aren't gonna be any different than regular skins.

how is chroma any different than another skin.

Raja Chachki4/11/2015, 6:11:44 PM1 votes

So you'd also ask for skins to not be shown and just have the regular model? Riot won't do that, skins are for showing off and for customizing, they don't really impair any sort of gameplay for most people.

Replace all the skins in your league files with the default skins. There no skins, no problems.
