At least do something that blends well with the environments. The clime-able rocks in MGS5 were highlighted on the map, but the distinguishing physical factor was a large, natural looking vertical crack showing what can be gripped. Even GoW: Ascension (or was it one of the PS3 Uncharted’s) had bird shit on the ledges that could be gripped/climbed.
And yet some people complain about those too. Ascension actually got complaints from some people from taking too much from Uncharted when it involved the climbing and some platforming. I disagree with the negative nancies. EviI West highlights where to go next with golden-white hilight/flashes on hooks, chains, and hand rails most of the time. No one cried about that, other than possibly biatch GGMan.
Even before that, There were people complaining about it in God of War 4. Alan Wake, did the yellow paint and highlight thing before everybody else caught on to it. Mirrors Edge too, but at least it has other color highlights. I'm not complaining either way. DmC 2013 used blue and red on where to go next. No one complained about that sign posting aside from the hardcore original DMC fans.
I don't remember that, but it's been a *long* time since I played Smite, possibly long enough that it predates that.
I think Smite always had the mastery numbers, at least I always remember them on the loading screen under the character portrait. But, I have been playing it so long I might just have forgotten.
I'm fairly certain I got that game somehow, maybe with sins of a solar empire?
My hot take: all MOBAs are terrible.
