Its odd that they don't have an option for this. In World of Warcraft, a Color Blind mode was implemented on the graphics options that really helped me a lot.

Does anyone know if graphic settings like low/med/ultra affect the nuke dot? I play on low and I swear I never see it

I am going to bump this with what LoL is doing.
http://na.leagueoflegends.com/news/new-color-palettes-available-colorblind-players

we need these kind of support from the company. My friend is red/green color blind and it's so painful to watch him place a CC at the expansion. It literally takes him 10 seconds due to the indistinguishable red/green pallets.

i got the red/green color blindness thingie, can't see the dot on maps like tal darim unfortunately :D

edit: btw, for those who are really bothered by this condition, you can always try playing around with the hue and/or digital vibration settings.
you're wrong

I like what LoL are doing, despite not being a fan of the game they do implement some cool features. Colourblindness for me is generally OK even with the nukes because they tend to be on expands or your army so you can generally find them with a process of elimination. For me by far the worst thing are zealot-on-zealot engagements, just strangely awkward for me but bar that I'm generally OK

I feel bad for colorblind folk after reading this thread.

My uncle, father, and brother all have experience dealing with colorblindness (uncle lost out on pilot school because he's colorblind, slightly, in one eye iirc), and while I'm not colorblind (thankfully), my condolences to anyone who fights it daily.

Blizzard should add color-blind functionality, but I'm not sure how that would affect the competitive aspect of play.

I was going to say that. In the meantime colourblind folks you'll have to get a friend to sit next to you and help you out on that one =(

If a feature was implemented maybe tournaments could accept doctor's notes for colour blindness and allow you to use the setting. Or tournament maps themselves could be edited.

Was this posted in official sc2 forums ? there are a lot of variabes that need to be considered when making a game. Instead of discussing the problem find a solution.
Talk to an official admin of the game and make a topic of the response that you gain. Im sick of seeing poststhat demoralis a company for an issue they arnt aware of.

I thought the nuke damage was sort of increased, 800 damage no matter what? And the dot is only bigger for the person doing the nuking. The nukee only sees the same tiny dot from BW.


Nukes in SC2 do 300 (+200 vs structures) damage. In Brood War they did 750 damage.

Depending on how many sc2 players have red-green blindness, I may become more prone to using nukes in my upcoming matches. Nice thread! :D

Thank god you are not on my server lol. I suffer from some mystifying technical issue that means I don't get the "Nuclear launch detected" warning, AND the colourblindness handicap My Terran friend abuses this far more than he should haha

In the Reddit interview where they brought up the Stronger Team Colors mod, Dustin Browder mentioned that they were interested in options for color-blind users, so at the very least, they are aware of it. Probably on the two-mile long laundry list of stuff they haven't quite gotten to yet though.

Seeing as 1 in 10 males have colour blindness, I'm relatively confident that there are people on Blizzard's own dev team that have colour blindness. It'll probably be in a minor patch or in HOTS or something, but i'm sure it'll happen.

If they change the color, won't someone else with color blindness in the color they elect to change it to have a problem suddenly?

If they change it to purple, won't this make problems for people with color blindness in the pink-bieber spectrum?

The ideal solution is a "color blindness' toggle that changes the color scheme throughout the whole game to reduce the effects for red/green color blindness, similar to what league of legends has done. Someone else mentioned placing cc/nexus, and I imagine there are other situations that could be adjusted as well.

Personally, I think issues like this should be considered bugs in the game. Imagine if there was heavy graphics artifacting for people with amd processors. Blizzard would quickly move to fix the problem, and people with color blindness had even less to do with the bug then people owning amd processors.

The 0.1% who have this should play Hello Kitty Online instead of SC2.
