Played some SC2 for the first time in a long time this weekend and came across this issue. I can't be the only person who thinks this... there HAS to be a way to disable this. Is there a mode (colorblind or whatever) that improves visibility of these skins? | ||

you can control the colour of your enemy's units along with your gamma setting. this helps with readability. that said, i hope we get the ability to control both the colour of enemy units as well as the skin of enemy units. I want my TvTs to be Raynor's Raiders versus Dominion Special Forces. | ||

Of course I see the problem that people want to "show off" the fact that they invested money into the game to other people, so maybe decals and similar (like we had within the warchest) could be introduced to satisfy their need of attention. Otherwise, everybody should be able to turn off cosmetic confusion. On August 24 2017 02:20 Weavel wrote: Go back to reddit. Honestly, he is voicing a concern, and instead of bringing counterarguments, you just want to send him off? Ok. | ||

 I think one should be able to disable skins, people will say that then there is no incentive to buy them but i think most people use skins because they think it looks nice. So i don't buy that argument. | ||

Excuse me, but the skins stink. They could have gone with Metallic, or blinking lights, or any cool embellishment of design that is more visible and satisfying to see. This is just Gamma Saturation or whatever this coloring effect is called. | ||

So i don't buy that argument. make it so you can customize the skins of your enemy. that makes up for your enemy disabling your skins. you get your own fully customized experience. Red Terran with the Dominion skins looks like the Brotherhood of Nod... i was yelling "peace through power" as my siege tanks and upgraded marines decimated my enemy's base. | ||

However, i believe it is possible to overcome this without the disable option. They just have to work harder on the skins. There are some good examples like; Immortal (not the one in the op but the other one) or Viking. They both look cool and they are easily distinguishable. I didn't like most new zerg skins, they've just added random spikes on every creature which is a really lazy work and confusing. Even worse than this picture imho. Protoss skins are no better, just made them all look like hallucinated... | ||

I mean, I can choose my favorite color, yet, opponents can alter "my" color on their screen if they want to for the sake of simplicity and playability and noone ever complains about that. C'mon, even Remastered handled this problem so much better by just giving out a main building skin and you can even disable that if you want to. Just seems to me that they kinda want to separate their players, gearing SC2 more towards the "modern age of gaming bullshit" while keeping the traditionalists and old farts at bay with BW which I find pretty sad as I really like both games, it's just that SC2 seems drifting further and further away for me. | ||
