Ugly Kachinsky Portrait Should Be Removed

Post a Reply Normal

paralleluniverse 4065 Posts January 02 2017 07:04 GMT #1 Usually, people should have to put some effort into getting a better looking portrait than the default Kachinsky portrait. But Kachinsky, being the default, presents a unique problem as it is the most common portrait, which creates a negative externality, that everyone must suffer seeing this ugly portrait used by people everywhere (in chat channels, on loading screens, on streams, on the forum, etc.). This is one of the top and persistent annoyances with SC2. The default portrait should be something, while bland and unexceptional, not so outright ugly. Like the generic and nondescript planet above (it's Mar Sara).

Phattyasmo United States68 Posts January 02 2017 07:18 GMT #6 "I don't like the Kachinsky portrait." This is one of the top and most persistant annoyances about SC2? Why do people make these posts. At least I'll give you credit for a solution, but yeah...in my opinion, a pointless post. I don't like Protoss, so can I remove their portraits and make them planets as well? Just saying...

ruypture United States367 Posts January 02 2017 07:45 GMT #10 honestly this is a great shitpost. but a shitpost nonetheless

maitiky Czech Republic54 Posts January 02 2017 08:24 GMT #12 At first I laughed so hard. Then I realised that I agree with the proposed change. Strange.

Cascade Australia5405 Posts January 02 2017 08:47 GMT #14 That's the reason I'm not playing sc2. Balance is perfect, every unit has it's unique role, the economy allows for diverse play styles, counters are exactly the right amount of hard, the graphics is the perfect amount of dark and the user interface is so smooth that I'm barely aware that it's there. But yeah, that portrait. Can't play the game.

paralleluniverse 4065 Posts January 02 2017 11:58 GMT #20 Moved to Blogs... FFS. I'm trying to get this ugly thing replaced.

MarklarMarklarr Fiji226 Posts January 02 2017 13:24 GMT #21 Agreed, retarded face no1 likes. It's looking like some russian serial rapist.

Vivax 22061 Posts January 02 2017 19:41 GMT #22 I like the negative connotation this portrait has. In higher leagues whenever you saw someone with it, you expected cheese or a smurf. Ugly faces for ugly strategies is what this game always needed.
