EPTId much rather have less games played high 1v1 than any combination of portraits, high games, and relatively low ratings.
Have the higher portraits lost their glamour? - Page 6

One out of a thousand people is hardly "dime a dozen". haha thank you. sure its more common, but the playerbase that started SC2 absolutely DEMOLISHES the wc3 scene that started off. its n ot even comparable, also try to remember that blizz will surely implement more icons requiring more wins in time | ||

I really do think Blizzard kind of failed these portraits, most of them have such terrible angles that a portrait that should look baller looks terrible. The rate of gaining portraits is fine imo, but really the portraits themselves are so lackluster. | ||

I also just noticed the old baneling looks a little better as well. ah well whatever | ||

Bronze should get their own portraits. Silver as well etc etc Not only will that show the progression of a play (He has a 200 win portrait in Bronze before he got bumped to Silver where he won 100 games and a portrait before he was bumped to Gold, etc. etc.), but it'll help distinguish those who try to bypass the system by dropping their MMR to unbelievable levels in order to farm achievements. | ||

Because of mmr, you always meet a person at the same level as you. Doesn't that mean that a bronze player has to fight just as hard as a diamond player to get his wins? | ||

What I really would like to see in the loading screen is some info about the opponent such as: 1. league and rank 2.wins - losses or just win ratio 3. current streak / results of last 5 games This would add much more thrill into the game imo | ||

10-25-50-100-250-500-1000-1500-2500...etc. Also, they add portraits for other things too, like buying the collectors edition, buying a blizzcon ticket, etc. So I am sure there will be plenty of other portraits to be earned both for specific tournaments and other activities. I wouldn't be surprised if they credit accounts with Feats of Strength for players who attend/win etc. various major tournaments. | ||

Stop. You're being silly. | ||
