Hello, I have been playing this game for over 8 years straight, as a human i have an eye handicap that I was born with which makes my sight on both eyes very bad especially one of the eye more than the other. On my windows PC i have zoom in 150% in order to see icons and applications. I have a friend with almost the same eye issue but his is worse with a glasses strong as 7.8 (for those who don't know this he can not ever take driver license and is consider as half blind" we both play with a minimal scale of 3 respective 4.5 in order to even see jungle camps and pings. After the patch we can't change those settings anymore.

My friend told me he had to leave a game right away because he hear pings but can't see them. His team mates are getting attacked by enemy and he is right beside but missed it because he couldn't see it on the map. He got axienty and left the game. For me I have stopped playing after 1 game because this gives me anxiety as well..

We are a minority and i agree some people used this function as an advantage but it was never illegal to use, i got this suggestion from riot games support themselves 7 years ago. But the impact this function had for us helped us play the game, i don't care about if others used this function as an advantage, for me this is the only way to see.

I contacted riot games 7 years ago and they said to me to use it on your own risk since changing this scale could cause bugs, for me I don't care if it causes bugs. It is my way to play.

The only way for me to ask help is from the support by the community, the way i was born is not my fault and should not impact my ability to play the game, it is so unfair, i know life is unfair but please..

Do the blind community really deserve this?

Edit: i am bad at english not first language i have changed som errors regarding my language

Hi, UX Designer from Riot here.

First, I'm sincerely sorry that a change we made impacted your ability to play the game. That's never our intent. The change was made to prevent crashes in the game when people would edit their game configurations to use data that wasn't usable.

In the next patch, we're going to allow plays to scale their UI to up to 3 in the settings UI (which is a 50% increase in size). Additionally, we will support a larger range of values for players who choose to edit their configuration file. Hopefully this lets you play in the way that you are used to.

Please continue to let us know through the channels you have available as this stuff comes up. We very much care and very much want to make League a good experience for as many players as possible.

I hope you understand how happy this made me. It might not be as big as i used to have but we are indeed moving into the right direction, you have no idea how much this means for the blind community. I will edit this post later and tag friends who have sight issues and needs to see this comment. Thank you!!

We're actually going to allow a scale up to 5 in the config, which looks like this.
