[A11y] Colorblind setting for enemy colors

[alexandermarquina]

I'm red-green colorblind and have a very hard time distinguishing between allied and enemy creeps. Would it be possible to have a customizable color pallet for enemy creeps/buildings/hero highlights (if they exists, hard to tell for me).

Blue-yellow colorblind here, it is difficult because two of the five lanes look very similar to me. Sometimes I can't tell how far away a line is pushed beacuse the colors kinda blend together on those two as well.

I am also red-green colorblind. Having problems with the creeps. Need something to make them pop out more to distinguish from friend or foe.

+1, I am green/red colorblind, having the same issue.

+1. Same issue for me. I've created a post myself.

not colourblind but boosting for visibility. Not fair for colourblind players + it's generally easier to add these kind of features early in development rather than later.

Not colorblind but this seems like a no-brainer accessibility feature and is supported in other games like Overwatch. A lot of that logic already exists to show teams as blue/yellow in spectate.

In game, you have red/green. In spectator mode, you have blue/yellow. I can't see the difference between creeps when playing (nor can I in Dota), but in spectator mode I can see better. Since these 4 colors already exists - while it can be better - it would be amazing if we ourselves could just pick friendly and enemy color from these 4 options for starters. Ideally, we could just pick colors ourselves from a normal colorpicker like you would see in art/design software. Some games have already implemented this, like Elder Scrolls Online based on community feedback and it works great.

+1 red-green as well and it's distractingly difficult to discern between the two. Would love to at least be able to change health bar colors.

+1 I'm not colorblind, but it's an option that definitely should be in the game
