Good for you that you have perfect colour vision! However, a significant number of people don't, or have a lower quality monitor, or have trouble focusing on the minimap to check the icons carefully when they're in the middle of being pincered. Having icons which can be easily discerned at a glance instead of blue circles, blue triangles and green circles (?!?) is a core user interface consideration. This is technically a balance issue as a Maelstrom player gets blue, another blue, green and yellow on their minimap (all of these colours are in a similar range) whereas a Flames player gets blue, red, green and yellow which are obviously easier to identify without taking attention away from the battle. I am ashamed to say that such a simple thing has led to avoidable deaths on my part in the past where I haven't been able to see which areas are safe easily. Having all of the colours configurable would be a huge win for those of us who are struggling.

I changed Flames to hot pink for nametags and use orange for the Adders, which works well for me outside of the minimap. Great to hear that some fixes are on the way for the rest of the interface!
