Teamfight Tactics players demand action on seizure-inducing finisher animations

Teamfight Tactics players are calling on Riot Games to allow players to disable finisher animations, as they have reported seizures after seeing them.

In the competitive realm of Teamfight Tactics (TFT), a game celebrated for its strategic gameplay and dynamic visual elements, a pressing concern has come to light.

Players have voiced significant health concerns over certain finisher animations—especially, the chibi Akali finisher—that have been triggering seizures and epilepsy events due to their intense flashing lights.

This issue has catalyzed the TFT community into action, leading to the creation of a petition aimed at disabling these potentially dangerous animations.

The visual charm of TFT is undeniably a key aspect of its appeal, with finisher animations adding a layer of excitement and personality to the game. However, for some players, these animations have turned from a source of enjoyment into a serious health hazard.

The Akali chibi finisher, with its rapid, intense strobing effect, has been particularly problematic, causing adverse reactions in players susceptible to seizures.

This issue came to light when a player, known as Antikristoff on Reddit, shared their experience. They reported that the animation triggered a small epilepsy event, underscoring a dire need for the option to mute or disable such visuals. There were a lot of reactions gained from this post and even gathered people who also have shared the same experience.

A Reddit user named Bunnixia also shared their experience regarding the issue. They said that the animations had immediate fast flashing lights that took up the whole screen and didn’t give them enough time to look away.
