I think units killed also gave xp. I don't think it will be that fast after lvl 5. They can make exponentially harder for every lvl. I don't like the leveling system if it's based on what you do in game. In Dota 2 and TF2, you get items and (for Dota 2, exp for levels) based on time rather than anything specific. The problem with rewarding exp based on what you do is that it leads to "stat padding" (which was a big problem in BF2, one of the first major online non-RPG games to add an exp system). In BF2, everyone would play the stat padding classes (which takes the fun out of the game). Some of the achievements were silly too - get 21 knife kills in one round - that meant that sometimes your teammates would (instead of helping your team win) spend all game trying to get knife kills. As for stat padding, one example is playing medic then having people intentional die, then revive, then die, then revive over and over again. That's why IMO, I think it should be based on time played. If it was based on time played, people would still want to play longer games (because games in between are delayed by 1-2 mins based on match making) too. With this system, people may more likely play certain ways. Fortunately, most people in SC2 don't care too much about levels or portraits (which means that few people will abuse this or ruin games with this). Also unlike team games (BF2 with trying to get 21 kills with a knife in 1 round, which is really hard and requires you to be unhelpful to your team the whole round), in SC2 it's mostly just 1v1s which means even if your opponent is trying to stat pad, you can do strategies to counter that. I'm okay with this in SC2 but IMO, they should just go with the time played route instead of actually doing things. The only issue with time played is going afk but in a 1v1 game, that's also not a problem (you're giving free wins to your opponent if you're afking). | ||

Uhh i'd have to disagree with "a lot of people dont care about portraits." I'd say tons of people that are casuals at this game only play for the portraits. | ||

The only issue with time played is going afk but in a 1v1 game, that's also not a problem (you're giving free wins to your opponent if you're afking). Stat padding in SC2 really depends on where the leveling system is implemented. It's obviously ridiculously easy to stat-pad through custom games. Heck, I've even farmed some achievements with a friend in a custom game on WoL. But on ladder, I think it's a lot harder to stat pad considering how difficult it is to play the same opponent multiple times, not to mention one that will agree to stat pad with you. Also, it wouldn't be too difficult to also include time played as a source of xp on top of the current system. | ||

I think Blizz can counter that by giving multipliers for win streaks. i.e. You win 2 games, your xp is multiplied by 2, and so on and make the xp necessary for each lvl higher.

We will have portraits for the Viper, the new Kerrigan portrait and so on. | ||

It is kinda annoying when the banes connect with marine/worker line. yea you can disable it, it was the first thing i noticed that i wanted to get rid of ( i dont mind the xp , but i dont want to see xp for each unit killed) You can disable it in the controls menu, i forget which one, but its by the disable hotkey tool tips section. | ||
