Alchemical Fire change - differentiate between friendly/enemy

[jmternes]

Alchemical fire should be red when the enemy team uses it, and should remain purple for friendly. Having no way of telling if it's friendly or not isn't ideal.

YES PLEASE.

I can't count the number of times I've ran out of an advantageous situation to get out of.... FRIENDLY ALCHEMICAL FIRE. FFS.

Read my mind! I was about to post that this would be a great addition before finding this thread. Hope it gets more traction.

Didn`t they already do this? But i agree the change right now is not too noticable, players should be able to spot friendly alch fire more easily(right now friendly alch fire is a little paler).

Nope. Alchemist Fire doesn't change color based on if it's friendly or not.

And if it does, it is so subtle that I don't think most people can tell. I'm not really great to judge that, though, since I'm colorblind.

It does, tested it in lobby. I wanted to say that colorblind people will have problems seeing in my comment XD. The change is REAAALLLLYYY subtle though, i barely could see it and my eyes see colors just fine.

Here the difference is clear, but when they are not side by side it is hard to see.

Allied fire is purple.
Enemy fire is purple.

Yeah....... Fat chance in hell I can tell the difference without having them side by side to compare.

Definitely need a way to adjust the color of those animations

Alch fire has a special color, its teal mirror clashes with everything. Keep it at neon purple & give physics the nod with a muted ignore-me red

It could have some form of toxic fumes that escape the area and covers the floor a lot more if it's on the enemy team. It could have a danger indicator snuck in very faintly, to indicate danger as well. It can act as a way to scare people off (sometimes the threat of the danger can be greater than the threat itself)

dota has dust. cs etc. Deadlock can have an actual smokebomb & maybe just name it that. Best Haze invisibility name imho is Shadewalk (a literal bird aesthetic with mini-wing spacewalk mode just to change the pace? In which case Bound)

Bump on this post. This has been on my mind for a while and I think that this would be a great improvement.

And if you cast enemy and friendly alch fire overlapping half of each other and having some fight and spells on top of it I guarantee it’s hard to see what’s friendly and what’s enemy.I agree enemy one should be red ish .It’s instant tell for your brain to get out .
