Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but does anyone know if blizzard are releasing portraits of this years WCS finalists?

Can you use these skins for custom units in UMS maps?

nice effort; however, it would be nice to introduce to new units as opposed to skins, to ensure the sc2 scene survives into the near future and also helps keep players committed to the game instead of venturing out to other games.

Meh. Blizzard always overdo it with skins and unit design. Same thing in World of Warcraft. Armors and outfits are loaded with spikes, bulkiness and colors and stuff just to "look cool", but it just looks over the top in my opinion. I'd rather see a more toned down design that tried to make simple things look good.

And mech zerg?

I always buy stuff ingame (coop commanders) but this one you can purchase it without passwort. I am not sure if this is intended.
edit: Or you dont need password if battle.net launcher is at background? I always close battle.net when i play a game but this time with app.

Does anyone know from previous warchests, if, say, you buy it in October -- do you still get the 120 days to unlock? How many days/games does it take to go through them to receive them all?

Big fan of the siege tank, cyclone, wiking, lib and BC, several mecha zerg (but who'll be able to tell the difference between OV and drop OV!?), warp prism!

Still would like a button to not show opponent's skins on ladder tbh.

yes you have plenty of time to unlock

Assuming you play once each day until you win (so you get the first win xp bonus) it's probably 2-3 wins for each skin. Just today I've already unlocked 4 skins with maybe 3 or 4 hours of playing, so maybe an hour per skin?

Nope, you won't have 120 days if you buy it in October, the deadline is always 119 days from now. But the skins are extremely easy to unlock and you can unlock them by playing against the AI. You need 300k exp per level, and with the 100k exp bonus for your first game with each race, you only need 30 games or 10 days max, to unlock everything.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

random/zerg/protoss/terran banners are really nice but it would be better if i see the same banner at opponent. I really hate the original banners.
pls new background in 1v1 mode. I really don't like the look of hydra/marine/zealot.

I think it's is unacceptable that I have to pay a fee *AND* spend my time to receive the item I am purchasing. Just give us what we pay for right away. It's bad enough blizzard is following the micro-transaction trend. I'm not buying until they remove the requirement to earn the skins after we've already fucking paid for them lol.

If you can all remember, games used to give this type of stuff out as a reward for accomplishing something special in-game. Now they want you to pay extra money for them *AND* do something to unlock them? This is unacceptable. Consumers cannot allow blizzard to set this type of precedent. This shit is the equivalent to buying a product on the internet but instead of them shipping it to you, you have to go spend your time going to get it LOL. Unacceptable.

i wish they would create "customizable enemy skins". That is, I'd like to be able to select what skins i see on my enemy units. I'd love to have a "Umojans versus Dominion Special Forces" .. Terran versus Terran battle. That would look AMAZING.

Also, by making enemy skins customizable i can select the skins that for me are the most readable. Or the coolest looking.. or whatever i please. This also placates the crowd that wants a "skins disabled" button.

I honestly agree, it's disappointing to have to now play to earn what I already paid for. I want to play mechazerg, I don't want to have to wait for all the skins i paid for to be slow dripped to me over the course of a month.

It's not like you have to work hard for them. If you literally just play a game against easy AI (which can be won in 5 minutes) every 3 days or so, you'll get all the skins. If you aren't even playing a couple games a week then why are you buying skins?

The only annoying part is the fact they slow drip them out every month. But I guess the incentive here is to have long term progression and motivation for people to play.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

THe problem is they are also trying to compel your behavior and the way you spend your time. What if I don't have the opportunity to play all the time but when I do play, I want the skins? I get nothing lol. It's stupid as hell. Consumers should not allow blizzard to compel the way they spend their time just to receive a product we are paying for. We don't need motivation to play, we just want to pay for the product and play on our own accord. I wish blizzard would stop trying to compel me to spend time playing just so i can receive the product that costs money in the first place.
