If it looks like that there is no way you wont be able to see it, no matter how colorblind you are that thing will be obvious.
This may very well have been chanced though.

 I don't think is fair for the opponent to see the dot, maybe tech to something that helps you get the idea on where the nuke is going to strike. The rush you feel when you hear the nuke message is all that matters, if you see the dot right away it screws up the gameplay imo. | ||

Read the thread before posting already-posted and wrong information please. That is just the casting circle... aka it only shows it for the person casting nuke... | ||

It would actually be more balanced, since like this a red player has a significant disadvantage vs. nuke (most people don't switch to green / red) | ||

For example, I could change the dot to white or yellow and I'd never have a problem spotting the nuke location. the problem with that is if your gonig to make it either white or yellow then it stands out far far more against all map schemes then red. I don't think colorblind compatability should make it even harder then it already is too nuke ingame. I think something like purple/brown/black/blue/lightblue would be a better balance. Otherwise anybody would be a damned fool to stay with red over white/yellow , which are unnatural colors for a sniper to be targeting either way. | ||

White - Snow, dust etcetc Yellow - Badlands, grass in general, desert. Red stands out more than almost any other colour.. | ||

There's no reason why an option to help people with this shouldn't be implemented. It's such an easy fix. | ||

It's such an easy fix. Omg me and my girlfriend got into a heated argument about whether my flipflops were blue or brown (mixed with gray). I thought they were blue. I called my mom and asked her, she said blue. My housemate said black, no color. Her roommate said brown. We are still in conflict -_- It's either me or her, one of us is color-blind, as well as her roommate and my mom -_- | ||

I'm not making fun of your friend, I'm just an ass in teamplay games! | ||

I could make an equally shitty argument about something equally as trivial. And where did this stat of his come from anyways? It's totally heresay. Firstly it's spelled hearsay (unless you meant heresy, either way the spelling was wrong), but more to the point you don't seem to know what the term means. What I would guess you are objecting to is the lack of a citation to support the claim by JeeJee or at least some added information which might attest to his/her particular qualifications to present this claim, but while this might effect the degree of credibility or reliability we assign to the claim in our view, it does not make the claim hearsay. Just an FYI. As to the original post, I'll weigh in on the side of the sentiment expressed that given that this seems like a problem with a pretty easy solution for Blizzard, it would be the right thing to do (and probably good business sense as well) to offer a solution. | ||
