this isnt anything major, but i thought it would be cool for all units to be able to be customizable for up to 2 colors.

like instead of the usual red, blue,teal, orange, etc. you can pick your own 2 colors, and those colors will be on all the units in a specific design.

lets say team liquid is blue and white. al their units in all their games would be blue and white as all the liquid players would set their unit colours as it is.

lets say dignitas is dark grey and yellow.

etc. would be interesting, make the game look nicer, and really have like a unity type of feel for teams, especially in big tournaments/leagues.

if players from same team play each other just have like secondary team colours? lol

I believe variations of this idea have been tossed around prior to the launch of the service. People have generally become so jaded about the functionality of Battle.net 2.0 that things like these, even though they would be awesome additions, are unlikely to happen. It's a bit of a shame. All this time building up StarCraft II as a spectator sport and you don't even give players the option of "picking their jersey colors".

I think this would be better suited for B.net forums wouldn't it?

Edit: But it is a cool idea. This + the Stronger Team Colours mod would be a godsend to the game IMO.

In the end, this thread will end up just being a B.NET hate thread. It doesn't matter if your suggestion is thoughtful or creative, because chances are it doesn't matter and will only incite further angst towards Battle.Net.

I always wondered why they didn't add this in the first place, if you can do it in custom games, you should be able to do it on ladder.

I have to agree with kineSis here... its probably a good idea, and it can definitely be implemented by Blizzard. Unfortunately they have a "to do" list that's miles long already, and they are simply "working on it."

Reminding people about the shitty-ness of B.NET just incites more hate.

They could even just implement it so that each player saw whatever colours he/she wanted and make in configurable in the options somewhere.

Some players like being purple and having yellow enemies so why not let them? There's no reason to force everyone to see the same colours really.

I mean it might be annoying for the players to have patterned units matching their team colours but cool for spectators to see so why not just let observers change the colours they see with a drop down menu, this solves all the awkward dark blue vs purple issues and like and in no way affects the people playing.

I think one day small things like this will start to be added. For ladder it could simply be a dropdown of say two colors that you would prefer to be, and if both players want one color it can just be random chance. Or even better an option in the menu that configures shift-tab to be other colors rather than keeping it only at red and green. (Is it still at red/green if you shift tab or was it some other colors, don't exactly remember)

I always liked the random colours in BW. I miss white Terran, it was so sexy in that game. ^^
