Re: Hard time seeing enemies?

@Ingeniekey There's a few skins that blend in way to easily with the map, to the point where I often mistake map features as a player, because I can never be 100% sure if I'm looking at a light pole or an Octane.

    Back in S6 or something, I used to have a sharp silhouette around enemy models, like if the texture was shining or something which was super OP. I always thought it was some kind of NVIDIA or monitor graphic setting that I had back then and wasnt able to reproduce (I mix around alot in the settings all the time) but perhaps its something they changed in the game. Because Ive noticed this season that some models are very hard to spot in front of certain object, like grey/black skins in front of the grey houses on Kings Canyon for instance.

    But I guess its not a bad thing since it raises the skill cap. Good spotters will become better than bad spotters etc.. The only problem is that some skins may be a bit "pay 2 win"? But then again; one skin color is not good vs all backgrounds so it will be very hard to purposely use a skin to gain advantages.

    @Balladalidila What are your thoughts on players glowing like how they do in control, but they have to be spotted or looked at, and not just glow when seen on an enemy player's screen. Control had people glow if you were able to see them, even before you started to aim at them.
  • once upon a time in the earlier seasons if you set your graphics down to the very lowest characters had like a whitish tinge to them. but ever since mad maggie came out that doesnt seem to be the case anymore.

    @Midnight9746 

    Me personally, I hated that for two reasons; first of all, I think spotting enemies is a part of the game and a skill that can be improved i.e  it adds to the skill cap. Secondly; I personally got super confused by all the red outlines everywhere =) So many times I started to spray on an enemy that was behind a wall or something.. But perhaps thats something you can get used to.

    But something that I would love if the devs changed is if they removed the teammates player names above the legend and replaced it with a similar (but perhaps green?) glowing outline for teammates. Displaying teammates usernames as the way to identify teammates has always bugged me since especially long names with long clan tags really can be obstructive to your vision. SO many times have I missed an enemy in the horizon because a teammate with a long name stood right below him, covering the entire horizon with his name =) Also, you never relates to your teammate by their username but rather which legend they play. You  never say "BigGamerguy3040, come here I have a red armor for you", you say "Wraith come here" etc
