Spot and Trypophobia

Spots design really sets of Trypophobia (the fear of holes). I know this is a minority issue, but it's still prevalent in a large amount of summoner. I know it might be a long stretch, but is there any possibility that kabam could make a feature in the options that just turn it off? As in makes his model fully white. I wouldn't know how easy/hard it would be, but I very much struggle to look at images of him ingame, let alone fight him I know I'm not the only one that will have an issue like this.

Or does that also apply to seeing images/pictures of holes as well (or just if others are actually going into a hole as part of the picture) ?
Or (because Op specifically mentions being able to turn his polka-dot costume outfit into a solid white costume.. “make his model fully white”), whether that fear also applies to seeing holes (like polka-dots) on anything (and not just related to actually dropping into a hole) ?
Anyway.. regarding OP.. so Wong makes portals that are kinda holes.. does that cause discomfort?
Typically from examples shown seems to be much smaller (and not really polka-dot emulated), such as what might be resemble an outbreak/infection on your skin (close-knit chicken pox, monkey pox, flesh eating disease, or other skin conditions) or similar resemblance in nature (on certain flowers, etc).
I would imagine (although I could be wrong) that the fear is related to thinking you could being afflicted with such a condition on one's own skin, so seeing it elsewhere triggers such a fear that you might catch such a skin condition.
The holes/spots on the new character seem much larger and clearly representative as a part of a suit/wardrobe and not his actual skin. (although I don’t know this character, and these spots may very well be part of his body, actual holes thru him. visually it does look like just part of his suit/wardrobe and so can maybe just be thought of as such instead of thinking of them as actual holes thru him)
And there would otherwise be many other examples that might also fall into that situation too.
Including the new Mystic Spidey himself for the spotted pattern on his boots.
As well as many other characters (think of alien type creatures with multi colored/textured/patterned skin). Or Dalmatians, cheetahs, leopards, etc.
Which would be very unfortunate if anyone is afflicted with a phobia around such larger scale examples.
Phasmophobia- Fear of Ghosts.
keraphobia- fear of rhinos.
Ailurophobia- fear of panthers.
And you really think they can have a special button for one champ to turn on the spots? They broke the VFX's and you think they can do this?
Sorry to all who have unique phobia's and/or disabilities. Honestly.
But, sometimes the solution is to resolve it at a personal level instead of asking for a specific change - especially if it is not reasonable to accommodate. It's a choice to play, or not. If it's detrimental to your health or a trigger, avoid it.
Some of these phobia's... How does one deal with life? I mean, we all have 3 holes on our faces.
He'll be on a path in the future event quests so he'll not be able to fully explore any event quest
I think the OP should get a Dalmatian therapy dog and overcome his fears
