I signed up for their crappy forums but am not allowed to post...the blue button doesn't appear for me. Probably I need to have the game or something stupid. Yes, there are low vision people who want to play these games. Add more options!

I love the recent color blind options, those are a great start. I am not color blind, I’m legally blind I have 20/200 vision. I can see well enough to see people track and shoot my targets. My only issue being I cant read the objective timer or the kill feed during a game. If they could add a UI scale similar to Dark Souls remastered, or a better version that allows you to scale and or move the UI around. I love this game and have played it since launch. I know I’m not the only blind person playing Overwatch this could really help me and people who have even less vision than me. Pls Jeff

No, it's an FPS also I don't think you have to buy the game. But someone else said they couldn't so maybe

Do you have to buy the game to post? I can play Soul Calibur. Is it anything like that?

Always wanted to play Overwatch, but tried during a free weekend and really struggled. Thank you for starting to let Blizzard know!

Wow, didn't even know my fellow pairs would even attempt overwatch. i gave up on CoD coz i would get wiped out by someone in the distance. Having a much better time with Rocket League personally. Knew another vision impaired person who played League of Legends like a boss. Been playing games since i was 4 but eesh i must really be a single player skilled person and only ever mastered tony hawk pro skater games lol

I play HoTS and Overwatch. It's definitely true that the mind adapts to its environment. Since my vision requires less horsepower for my brain run, it definitely redirects it in otherways like processing sound. This is particularly true in Overwatch when listening to their surround sound ( Which, BTW there's lots of opportunity there to help the vision impaired by using sound. Sadly though I cannot think of a solution that would only help the blind, while keeping as an option so that it's not required for everyone to use Otherwise think about playing Overwatch where the brightness was turned down all the way. Now, I hand whatever character you are playing a flashlight to use inside the game. You can only get to see what your character points their light at.
