Summoners!

We've had some people asking for an update on Colorblind mode, so I wanted to share some details before the Holidays.

Currently on live, if you follow the procedures below, you'll see most allied health bars and allied UI indicators recolored. This goes for both minions and champions. We've basically taken the "green" health bars and indicators and recolored them to blue.

We're still hammering away on team-indicator particles (such as Gangplank's ult, or Caitlyn's traps). We'll be shifting those to different colors as well for 99% of particles. We're also playing with what colors we're going to use, considering making health bars more cyan for allies, or making enemy health bars more purple-ish or, different direction, orange-ish.

We're hoping to have all of that live and officially supported sometime in early 2012. But if you want a head start on what we do have, well, here ya go.

Full disclaimer: THIS IS STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS - None of this is final, including the color pallet or the feature set.



1) Log out of the game completely

2) Navigate to your game config file:
Riot Games\League of Legends\RADS\solutions\lol_game_client_sln\release s\0.0.0.100\deploy\DATA\CFG\game.cfg

3) Add the following lines to the bottom of the file for the blue-shift only:
[ColorPalette]
ColorPalette=2




Shout-outs to the developers who've been maintaining their own versions of colorblind mode (especially razieh). We really appreciate those efforts and have no intention of breaking them for those that might prefer their color pallets or feature sets.

Again, this is still a work in progress. However, we'd love your early feedback! If you have strong feelings on how colorblind mode should be, we'd love to hear it in this thread.

Cheers,
Veo

Yay for the colorblind.

Awesome. Thanks for the update!

It's a good thing this has finally been added to the game. Do you know about the third party programs that did this? I hope you looked at them for ideas. I don't know where to find them.

Imma do this even if I'm not color blind, thanks Riot (:

I "see" what you did there.

might do just for the cool healthbar
