I know what you're talking about man. With my friends, we like to make funny assumptions like these too at the start screen, when we play in team games.
Like :
_ "full Cade" = They know their shit. Badasses or just cheesy but classy mofos.
_ "full other black dudes" = same vibe as Cade, but not as good.
_ "full Kachinsky" = Barcode-style gosus.
_ "full probe" = mass cannon rushes incoming.
_ "Dark voice" = fucking bronze scv rusher. the lowest of trash.
_ Marine portrait = MarineKing smurf account
_ Starcraft Master = Didn't even complete the 30 challenges, you only need 25 to get the portrait so why would you choose that portrait...
_ 1000 1v1 wins = Definitely played a lot, but not very skilled.
_ Brutal campaign completion = Come on...
_ Starjewel and co = Arcade dweller.
_ Fancy WoW, collector premium or Blizzcon portraits = "Lol how lame" but in fact we're just jealous.
Of course, if you want to play seriously, obviously ignore those.
All Cade being cheese is a very safe assumption.

Quite a few of my friends, who recruited me and introduced me to SC2, use the Adjutant profile, so I have come to associate that one with not only a skilled player, but a mentor/big brother kind of figure. I expect a well-mannered, mature player.
Arcade-based portraits, like Zealot Chef or Jeweled Templar or whatever, I tend to think lower level player who will fold under pressure and flock back to the safety of The Arcade after a few decisive losses.

They should make a portrait for x amount of games won in less than 10 min. That way you can have the enjoyment of crushing your opponent with 2 rax even when they saw it coming.

I use the Diablo collectors, that makes me a fanboy/sucker I spose

Well, I clicked find game and played a 1v1. And then I clicked find game and played another 1v1. And then I clicked find game and played another 1v1. And then..

Hydralisk marine = Imposter ^^

I can't really derive anything these days from portraits since every1 will have 1000 win portraits in master league, but there was a time when the 1000win protoss portrait meant that you were almost for certain going to get cheesed/allined, since few ppl had them and cheesers will play more games/time.

You don't have to be a mass gamer to have the 1k wins portrait after 2,5years of SC2!

Exactly, which makes it even weaker to put on that portrait.
Generally, the lower the portrait requirements, the better the player.

Portraits from playing random means they will cheese.

Bullshit. If you like this character/unit, you may take this portrait. If you like Kerrigan as Queen of Blades, why shouldn't you take her portrait? Because this means you are a bad player? What a stupid statement!

- The standard guy: "I want to be a a pro"
- any other campaign portrait: noob
- wow collector: noob
- ANY RANDOM portrait: be carefull, he WILL cheese you
- team portrait: cheese too
- any others: glhf, nothing specific
|
I expect there is an invers correlation between age and portrat requirement. When I was 14-15 and played wc3 and cared alot about it. Today I don't even notice my opponents portrait and has never changed my own.

SC1 Medic - An honorable macro player, no cheese or shitting around, always mannered.
Medivac - Same as above but too lazy to farm 100 wins as terran in teamgames.

I use Zeratul because I like Zeratul. And I'm always in super tryhard mode.

I don't know, ask half the professional SC2 players in existence?

How about 6k games and never played the campaign?

I had a guy in my first placement match this season see I was using the zerg hots beta portrait and assume I was some übergosu
I did win convincingly, but that's mainly because I was dia/masters in WoL and he was silver

I think even most of the ones that bought the game for multiplayer have played through the campaign.
