Skins! Hats! Flags! Decals! Animations! Unlockables! Portraits! Penises!

Seriously, I like it. Of course, it should be possible to turn off all the fluff, but it adds some flavour to the game. And you don't have to buy that shit to enjoy the game. And Blizzard gets money. So everybody's happy.

I am happy.
first we make expand, then we defense it.

Heroes are their main focus and most features if not all can be ported to sc2.
It servers as a perfect testing ground for them.

Hope I am not wrong on this


I remember DB said in a Heroes interview recently that it would be possible to port the functionality to spectate live games back to Starcraft, but that no-one was looking at it right now. I'd imagine theyre saving stuff up for LotV at this point.

Yup thats why I am not bothered by blizzard effort at heroes at all.
All those features can benefit sc2 too

If you can turn them off/on from ladder play then why not.

Why are people against skins/cosmetics? If they are distracting you to much, maybe you should look into some ADD medication...


Because a progamer doesn't want to be distracted by suddenly seeing other skins. You might believe or not believe it, but change no matter how minimal it is can distract you and slow down your decisions

The zergling skin is really poorly made tbh. The marine one is OK, so is the zealot (but since the zealot one is ugly as fuck I never see it).

But there a lot of skins that you can implement that won't annoy anyone, like Building Skins, you can make different creep textures, creep tumour, funny overlords or queens, more badass t3 units for carriers, BCs, etc... These, unlike zealots, zerglings, marines, don't have such a huge impact on the memory and on the view.

Considering how street fighter, tf2, lol and dota 2 are heavily skinnable, the argument aboutabout affecting pro seems very weak

I'm sure when (not if, since I'm sure it's going to happen) they'll add them, there won't be an option to disable them, just like there's no option for existing skins and no such option in Dota 2, LoL etc (at least I believe so, don't really play/watch those).

Lots of people buying skins to show off, so what's the point to buy one if you'll know that everyone can just switch to the basic ones?
I hope they'll force tournaments to use default ones though, but even that is not likely. What's the best place to promote your skins? 20-30k stream sounds about right.

I'd be more excited about this if Blizzard had better artists working on SC2. Blizzard should outsource to get someone to make some Terran vehicle models that don't look like they're made out legos.

How about this as a way of implementing skins. The player gets to choose what sort of skin both his own units and the opponents units wear. In this way, those who are worried about confusing skins can choose to view only the ones they want or are used to.

I'm all for this as long as they do a similar thing to dota and make official blizzcon merch that boosts the prizepool.

This.

IMO adding skins are OK, it gives some variety for people who care about such stuff, but there has to be button to switch it off. I hate seeing them on my screen (zerglings are so annoying...) and I don't know many people who enjoy it.

I thought the party hats were cute for one day, but come on. Let the kids have their shiny things, but please include an option to turn them off. Prizepool boosting sounds good.

One step closer to F2P, always a good thing.

Yep, I agree with this.

I think they should fully embrace it, and any other micro transactions/rewards for activity they can think of. Yeah you need an option to turn it off, otherwise you'd be limiting yourself with how creative you can get, which would suck.

Also, where the automated tournaments at? It's been like 4 years, WC3 had them. Why no 2v2 or FFA support (again, WC3 had way better functionality for team games and ffa ladder). Think they are missing out on a lot of stuff that would keep people playing.

(I've been playing some 2v2 lately which is why I'm feeling disappointed at how poor battle.net is from a casual standpoint. Back inbetween when I quit SC1 and started SC2, me and a friend used to play a ton of 2v2 automated tournaments, we both sucked at WC3 but it was still really fun).

Maru vs Sleep in proleague :

Maru does his trademark proxy hatch, sleep is prepared, workers fight ensues and then everybody ,esp the viewers, thinks : "OMG can we remove these silly party hats? Oo"

Sc2 is about identifying, selecting, clicking and managing plenty of very small units, adding skings can really mess the game up, hope Blizzard know what they're doing ....

Don't know about Dota2, but LoL designs skins so that their silhouettes are unique and easily recognised.
Based on the party hats, can't say Blizzard gives a shit about that.
