What does this suggestion change/add/remove:

This change is aimed at the blood on screen effect that appears when a person is killed in close proximity to another player. causing blood spatters to appear all over the player's screen and slowly slide down to the bottom and disappearing. While I find this feature to be cool and immersive it can also be very annoying when there are tons of blood spatters on my screen blocking my view of someone I am shooting at. I believe that implementing a system that works as followed, if the effect appears on the player's screen a prompt will also appear similar to gasmasks and hazmat suits the player will be told to press g (or whatever the key is currently bound to) in order to play an animation where the player wipes the screen again similar to the gasmask or hazmat suit, this will instantly remover the blood form the screen allowing a player to see quicker and if the player is combative it will allow them to get back into combat quicker and not have to hide behind a wall and wait for the blood to slowly make its way to the bottom of the screen or just run in mostly blind.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:

As far as I could tell nothing has been suggested like this recently.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
+This will allow combatives to counter blindness caused by blood spatters so that they can continue to fight and not have to worry about the blood effect.

+This will also just be a way for people to remove the particles all over their screen because the effect can just be generally annoying the more space it takes up on the screen.

+There are also times where the effect will still be partly on the players screen even after they have died and respawned, I'm not sure if I'm the only one who has encountered this or not, but I feel like it would be nice just to go ahead and remove the effect so you don't have to sit there and watch the blood slowly make its way down your screen even after you have just respawned.

+This would also make the game slightly more immersive buy allowing the player to wipe the blood of his allies or enemies off of their face.


Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
-/+ To be honest I can't really think of a negative to this and that isn't me being biased I just don't see any real downsides to just having an option that only affects the player locally, and that also helps the player see by removing some annoying particles off of their screen.

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:

I personally don't see why this would get denied because I have heard on many accounts people complaining about the effect and how it can be annoying. This change is aimed to make the effect less annoying to deal with but also make it more immersive to the player allowing them to directly interact with it. But that is up for the community to decide whether or not it gets added.
