It may seem like a bit much, but as Ryld pointed out, the two are related. Eles are much weaker than other classes without their boons. While many other classes count boons as pure bonus, eles essentially require them to perform well. If they’re supporty, they give out those boons to allies around them, if they’re a more selfish build they focus on secondary effects or higher stacking of boons. As far as I can tell this is just part of their design.
Of course this is exacerbated by the fact that their boon duration trait line is their best line and most eles I’ve seen have it at 20+ points.
I don’t understand the opposition to a “colorblind” option. How would a different color make the game significantly easier for most people than red? It’s information that’s intended to inform the player than an AoE is happening in the area. It isn’t designed to be hidden information, red is simply the traditional (for various reasons) color meaning “danger”.
