Please let us disable skins#486

It’s really hard for me to fight against someone with a red retro skin. It would help me alot if there was an option for disabling skins or something like a colorblind mode to remove red palettes.

This is something we offer in Rivals 1 since the game architecture is input based and skins did not affect the game state so could be disabled mid-match.

However, Rivals 2 is state based and the skin materials and effects do affect the game state and therefore cannot be turned off client side. We’re discussing some solutions to alleviate issues since this is a common request but it’s not currently on our roadmap.

Yeah I kinda wish this was a thing. Don’t get me wrong the skins in this game are really cool, but there are some skins / palettes that are just stupidly hard to see on certain stages. Example: anything purple / darker colored on Tempest Peak or on the final stock of certain stages like Merchant Port.
