It would feel more substantial if portraits were divided across leagues, with Bronze-Gold having default-to-500-wins portraits, Platinum and Diamond having default-to-750 wins portraits, and Master league having access to all of the portraits. Or something like that. or 1000 bronze league games = to 250 master league games that unlock the same portrait. | ||

For instance thers a bronze that has like 1000 wins by playing silver and bronze players, why should that be compared to someone that gets 1000 wins from master players. I believe it should've been separated as so in a logical manner. Bronze to Platinum obviously getting boring portraits  while Masters get their secluded portraits.This is stupid, that bronze player had to put in just as much effort, if not more as bronze league games without cheese usually go on 30+ minutes, no need to disallow a portrait just because he is not very good | ||

, old chat channels was always cool to show around your profile a bit :p, people with spiritwalker + got instantly checked out :D, now its not that special anymore, 2000 would have been better, or even 2500, since we can't make new accounts anyway..  | ||

Also, the thing I am pissed off the most about the portraits is the zeratul one: ![[image loading]](http://starcraft.incgamers.com/gallery/data/525/thumbs/Zeratul_portrait.jpg) Look at it, that's a terrible angle, compare it to ANY OTHER Zeratul pic. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100717181643/starcraft/images/thumb/2/25/Zeratul_SC2_Head2.jpg/200px-Zeratul_SC2_Head2.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/vi/4/4d/Zeratul_Portrait_StarCraft.gif) ![[image loading]](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3280/2667432198_c637548b6a.jpg) Also the SC1 High Templar: ![[image loading]](http://starcraft.incgamers.com/w/images/6/65/High_Templar_SC1_portrait.jpg) Coolest dood evar | ||

One out of a thousand people is hardly "dime a dozen". ah, but if you're playing at a high enough level to consistently play against experienced players, then it would seem like they were a dime a dozen | ||

Because the stalker just looks so much cooler, as does the baneling or Valerian or Tosh. Besides, if I have a stalker portrait my opponent will probably underestimate me. :') Having more wins is hardly impressive, having a better win/loss ratio, surel, that's kind of impressive. There will obviously be new units and campaign characters, and therefore new portraits. Yeh since you have a portrait up for getting to THEIR MMR rating with LESS GAMES they will obviously underestimate you and not think you are better... | ||
