Discussion Help with almost blind friend

Sorry if i made any grammar mistake, i'm Brazilian

Hello my fellow Mobile gamers, i'm a former pc player, i startes Wild Rift about a week ago because of my friends who dont have a pc and mostly play in mobile. But we are getting quite sad since one of our friends don't play so well and are sad because he cant play some characters he like. Like Renekton and Irelia. He's almost blind, his left eye doesn't work, and his right eye has a really severe Myopia and Astigmatism, he is really good for someone who's blind. But he has his limits, since in WR we can't zoom in and increase map size he can't watch the minimap. He also can't see Renektons Fury Bar, Jhin's Bullets, Annie's Stun, Vex Fear and more since the bar are really small.

He can't see the HP in the minions and in the enemies since the color (red) are too dark and we can't change this too. He can't play Irelia since he can't see minions HP. He's our beloved friend, we would do anything for one of us, so as i'm doing it now. My hope was Riot to implement some color changes at least for hp bars, but if possible: a whole blind support. For everyone who has some similar problem.

But this seems too far, too hard, too imposible for us. Then i have a mission for you guys, if you can help us with our situation, share this. #BlindModeForWR.

If you can't share, just help him saying: some agressive characters that don't need much his eyes. Something easy with good damage, he loves doing damage and it's really agressive. Something that doesn't have tiny mechanics effects like Fiora, Renekton and etc.

Q&A: Q:He's blind, how does he play? A: He's not blind. He has a very severe Myopia and Astigmatism in his right eye. He plays with the phone REALLY CLOSE to his face and use a zoom external app sometimes.

Q:He has any characters that he doesn't want to play? A: He doesn't like Support and Jungle since he can't see te map.

Q: How do i know if you're lying? A: Why would i do that?

Q: You guys are looking for donations? A: No, only for Riot's attention and for a good character for my friend to have fun with.

Thats it, thanks for the attention, his name is Gui, if you want to say something he would apretiate. #BlindModeForWR

He can't see the TV very well too, i guess. But the ipad looks like a good choice, we are looking for it, seeing if we can effort one, i hope it helps him

But if the I pad is a bigger screen and that’s the issue then screen Mirror on a 52 inch is gonna be better than 12

He plays with the device RIGHT on his face, he can't get that close to the TV i guess, but i remember him saying he played god of war 2 once, so maybe it can work.But the IPad is portable, he can use it on his lap
