Dang
i do understand kabam isn’t responsible for anyone’s health condition but this is what they can do for inclusion. for instance, a parking spot for people with disabilities isn’t a store’s responsibility but if we provide them then it eases some people’s lives even if it takes 1 spot away from people without disabilities
Compare that to a rollercoaster - literally a nonstop ride designed to be physically strenuous. One episode of Pokémon caused seizures, and they didn’t cancel the show or tell epileptic people to not watch tv. They banned the episode or censored the offending section.
There’s *no* reason a small change can’t be made.
But knowing Kabam, they won’t do that.
I've played this game for 4 years and never had any issues with its graphics. Till I used Psychoman a day ago.
I ranked him up and hit the side quests for the objectives. About an hour later everything around me started to turn. I waited for it to stop but it got worst. Enter the strongest nausea I've ever had and I'll spare everyone the details. It got so bad that an ambulance had to be called. I couldn't get up from the floor to be taken by car.
I spent 6 hours under observation, having tests done. I was cleared to go home and rest. They asked me to return some hours later for aditional tests.
Once home I logged in to do a bit in aw and saw the mail from kbm about this champion. Needless to say I started getting suspicious. But I needed to see more doctors. More tests all afternoon and nothing was found wrong with me.
I can't see any other explanation other than it was all down to Psychoman.
I know we joke a lot about being kabamed, but ffs this is extreme.
It's great that there are so many people unaffected at all by this. I should ve been one of these ppl and somehow it disturbed me really badly. Someone in my alliance also experienced out of the ordinary sensations using this character. But fortunately nothing to the point of hospitalisation.
I get cool graphics are nice. But kbm needs to be careful of what they're inflicting on people.
I'm going to avoid this character like the plague now. Which is going to hinder my progression. If they do nothing to tone him down I at least hope they don't create more like him.
I love this game and I've stayed despite **** offers, badly designed modes, tonedeaf customer service, bugs, lag. But if it's a health hazard then it's over for me.
So I tried him out, and King Groot's strobing lights are also awful. I can see how those would also affect certain people.
And, NO, there is no justifiable reason why he would have to have those STROBE Effects as part of his SP3. There would be no less enjoyment of the game if those Strobe effects were changed for King Groot.

Remember when IMIW first came out, and there was an enormously LOUD BANG sound that would happen when you played him (I think it was at the end of the fight, or maybe at the end of one of his SP's ?). No matter if your device sound was set low or not, that BANG would “wake up” anyone around you.
When people here asked if that could be changed, I don’t recall hearing a bunch of others come on and reply... (“NO, if they change it that would take away from my enjoyment of the game. Loud noises are common in video games. You should expect that.”)
Unfortunately not yet to my knowledge. There’s been no moderator comment here despite 3 days on the font page of the discussions board and a shout out in a video by ILacSkills.
Perhaps the company is devising an approach, but certainly something as benign as “we are aware on the ongoing issue and are working to develop changes” would serve as acknowledgement of the issue. Even in the in-game message and forum announcement, as I recall, there was no apology.
Maybe further attention from other big names in the community will force their hand.
this is all they’ve said
That would be a good start.
I imagine the message was in response to reports from someone who experienced an adverse reaction. I'm sure word of such reactions have been noted in the past, but to my knowledge there has never been any change and in my experience, no message to detail the potential for such effects. I do wonder why given notification of such effects, they would not evaluate similar effects in other champions or include the names of those champions in the message as well.
i went through hearing surgery to restore my hearing and the downside with the surgery it has caused my walk/running balance to be off so walking is difficult without some helps. It also has caused head spinning from when looking up,down, right or left because my brain think i moved too fast due to increased lost bad walk/running balance issue that i'm currently have
what i'm trying to say that when i play against or use Psycho-man my head spinning just shoot off the roof despite not moving around, just sitting still while head is glued against my phone with 20% screen bright level, sitting in a well lit room. Normal i take a break every hour or so, but with this the break is immediately.
It is, as I have always said, and epileptic seizure waiting to happen. I understand you were trying to go for the spooky vibe, but it comes off as lazy. Like, lazier than Killmonger’s special 3. And with the now high probability Psycho Man’s animations will be changed since your tips aren’t helping and I can’t Kabam adding a feature to help prevent said seizures, you should maybe actually make a good special 3 for KG instead of the stupid one we have now.

It doesn't matter if you didn't know you were going to get more damaged. (At least that's how I think it works. I don't work in corporate law.)
