atm I am just recommending you to go install Razieh's color blind mod. There are some trick with healthbars.tga which he isn't currently on top of (June 2011) but I explained how to fix it yourself on one of my forum posts. Hell, he probably fixed it by now. Check back sometime and see if he hasn't yet.

Go here for colorblind fixes.

I am a red-green colour blind gamer, and like many, I had searched for a guide or something to alleviate the problems caused by the interface. The information presented here is already in the forums; what I am doing is centralizing it to make it easy to find. I didn't write any of this myself. This guide is up to date as of January 2010's Poppy-patch, although these tricks have worked for some time. Although we expect major patches may break them again, you should be able to just follow the guide through again and get it back to a playable state. The thing most likely to change is the locations of the files.



Search tags: colorblind colorblindness color blindness minion red green red-green

The guide breaks down into eventually three sections:

1. minimap / nametag colour changes ........ we will be changing red to blue
2. health bar modding ....................... friendly green to yellow, enemy red to purple
3. minion skins (we haven't agreed on a colour scheme yet)

So, once again, remember that this information may change across patches, but as of right now its working.

BACK UP YOUR FILES JUST IN CASE! THIS IS NOT AN OPTION!

1. minimap/nametag

minimap

This places a blue border around the friendly minimap icons, and a red border around enemy ones.

- Navigate to location: C://Riot Games/League of Legends/game/DATA/CFG/Game.cfg ..this file is created after you've played game, so if you don't have it, play a game first. There is another Game.CFG file inside the "defaults" folder. This is NOT the right file.
- Open this file using notepad
- Add the following lines under the [HUD] label:

[HUD]
LockCamera=0
DrawHealthBars=0
FriendlyColor=0 0 255
EnemyColor=255 0 0
[MouseOverEffect]
EnemyColor = 255 50 50
AllyColor = 50 150 50

FriendlyColor=255 255 255
EnemyColor=0 0 0
[MouseOverEffect]
EnemyColor = 255 50 50
AllyColor = 50 150 50

Stick please ~

good one dude

There was something like this back in beta someone actually made a color blind mode you added onto the game... I can't find the thread though.

THIS IS AWESOME!
Just had my first game with it and it's AMAZING! THANKS!!

You might've accidentally disabled it by making a mistake in the Game.CFG edit. Just replace it with your backup if you can't use the in-game interface to turn it back on.

Thanks Kanizier for putting this all in one place. I've found all of these workarounds separately, the nametag color change one came out during beta. However, I will say that the nametag color change also does not stick across patches, or at least it never has for me.

It sucks having two of any single hero run into the screen, and not knowing which one to help. By the time I hit Tab and glance at my team, too many things can have happened.

How blatantly Riot ignored or chose to directly insult the colorblind gamers with their color scheme is appalling to me. When you think about the percentage of people that have colorblindness, chances are there's one in every 5v5 match. Why these fixes weren't released or at least bumped/stickied/promoted by Riot is beyond me too. Still, the game is free to play and free to mod so I shouldn't be complaining. I understand they wanted to distance themselves from DotA, but what was wrong with red and white?
