    As someone who suffers from no visual impairments or disabilities, even I agree that some of the visual tells and color combinations have been too much lately. During Cruiserweight Match 1, there are times where I have to close my eyes because the lights from the AOEs flash too brightly.

    Aesthetically, it's brilliant! As someone who did music in their youth and loves disco music, the entire fight is so well designed and such a fun time, but going from a dark arena to a bright flash of light is a little too much.

    So, I am in agreement that not only does there need to be an update to the accessibility options, but also more consideration for people who do have visual impairments and disabilities.

    There needs to be more consideration for sight and readability in general. They've largely abandoned the standardized and clear mechanic telegraphs and have fallen into a common MMO trap of overly intricate and/or vague telegraphs of a color that's the same color as the lighting and/or arena, and even if you have battle effects off, the abilities that are shown regardless(LB3s being the most common) can easily obstruct things.

    They REALLY have fallen into the modern MMO trap of hard = flashy and it's aggravating. I suffer from severe migraines, and i can only be grateful that I'm not epileptic or some of these fights would be literally impossible.

    I do think some of the LB3s are silly to look at and enjoy some of them, and I admit, I verblind for shenanigans if I'm in a more gremlin mood. Only in normal content and with a majority of friends, however, never in serious content. But they can for sure be excessive and obstruct things, absolutely, and should have a toggle to have them display or not for folks. (LB effects being on even in gpose is aggravating NGL)
