Accessibility: Colour Blind / Color Blind Support

[TOP CAT]

I am posting on behalf of my friend who is Deuteranopia colour blind.

Is he is having a really hard time differentiating between:

- Disguinishing between friendly/enemy creeps,
- Disguinishing between friendly/enemy heroes (due to the colour of the health bar and outline).

He said the colours from the reply mode where absolutely fine to be able to differentiate, and if an option was added to change to this colour pallet it would create a much more enjoyable and accessible playing experience for him (and others with the same condition).

P.S. Thank you Valve for creating such a great game.

As a tritan, please, for the love of god. With the new change from Orange to Blue the map is now entirely unusable.

The new minimap is completely broken. I can hardly read or identify anything. I was excited to hear green replaced orange, then I saw this. I cannot identify heros, creeps, health of objectives. Feels way too small. It also now blocks a large portion of the screen.

How did you get all this green stuff on the map? I currently cannot pick abilities or do anything besides shoot basic gun in game so I am sitting in a bot match seeing if the minimap looks like your picture.

Future idea--minimum there needs to be a UI scaling and players being able to choose how they like the minimap with options/choose where to put it and what size/colours is probably a massive gain. Maybe someone likes the map like this, I'd never want to play this game with minimap.

I'm also colorblind and i messed around with the RGB settings. It doesn't help.

I can only tell which creeps are mine from their movement or from the little HP Bars u can see thru the terrain.

I having the same color issue, please consider adding a colorblind mode to the game.

Hi all,

Adding to this. Can I suggest the mini map having icons to help differentiate the lanes? Not just the colour lines.
My current thought was each Tower icon has the first letter of the street name with in it. This may be too cluttered.

Thanks.

Hi, would like to suggest also for the souls colour to be changeable.

Joining in because it's important. accessibility should be a requirement, not a luxury.
