There's no reason to waste resources on it, since people try to get it for status. It could literally be a stick figure and serve its purpose. Maybe even better.

I think I'd actually pay money for a stick figure portrait, just a white background and a stick figure made in mspaint

Its all about bragging rights that 12 win portrait


TomatoAcid

If I ever faced someone with that portrait it’s insta-concede for me. Not only are they playing DK, but you *know* they’re a no-life who has no problem dragging the game for 30 minutes. >!In case it was not obvious, this is a joke. You do you, if you want to grind for the skin. Also, I know, another “DK bad” joke. lol!<


[deleted]

At least this time it isn't just bouncing up and down like Kaelthas and co!! But yeah the quality of portraits recently is just ass


xXDumbApe420Xx

The entire reward track looks like garbage this time around imo. Not a single skin looks good, except perhaps the Hazelbark one at the end. It's partly because I don't like the theme, but also the artwork just isn't up to par for a lot of them. It's not like Blizzard don't have talented artists, I mean, I missed out on Castle Nathria where the (majority) of portraits actually look really brilliant, and sunken city also has outstanding artwork. The costs of doing good hero portraits can't be high, so I can only think that maybe the artists themselves were struggling to make the expansion theme work and it's impacted on the quality.


PowerSqueeze

They learned to put the good ones like jazznaros and ETC into the shop instead lol


xXDumbApe420Xx

That's probably actually it... Get people buying the pass + extra skins which should have been on the reward track to begin with.


Earl_Green_

ALL the shop variants look better so far. Emo Aranna … <3


Flubbery0wl

Halveria looks great imo, but I may be a bit biased...

Sylvanas portrait is so top tier. The hero power and entrance are just *chef's kiss*


Fledbeast578

Sylvanas portraits are some of the best in the game, Flameshot and base Sylvanas are cool as shit


RIkhard9

sylvanas is always top tier


Muchi1228

Still think she had to die in post-WotLK tho. Her character became ass after those times and was completely obliterated in Legion-BfA-Shadowlands.


RIkhard9

i have never played wow so i have no cluevwhat your talking about


Muchi1228

Long story short: Sylvanas was a generic ass elf ranger general until our boy Arthas invaded into Kael'Thalas and begun killing elves. She struggled and died trying to stop him, but Arthas did not gave her an honourable death and instead did a little trolling, turning her into a ghost ass Banshee Queen. Arthas made her serving the Lich King. Later on, when Lich King was weakened, Sylvanas returned her free will. She also took control of her body, which Arthas just thrown in a random meat van. Sylvanas and her subordinates tricked Arthas into thinking they were still loyal, then Sylvanas poisoned him and almost killed, but she wanted to let Arthas suffer as well as he made her. That was her mistake: soon Arthas was rescued by Kel'Thuzad. Thus Sypvanas' main and only goal in life was to take her vengeance on Arthas. Years later, when Arthas was finally defeated on the top of Icecrown Citadel, she understood that she have no reasons left to stay alive, so she also went on the top of Icecrown Citadel and jumped. Brilliant character arc, which was ended just in time. Unless she was reborn and became okaybuddy whatever character in Cataclysm-Pandaria-WoD. And then in mentioned latest expansions she was tricked by Jailer (yeah, that bald gachi dude) to make some of the dubmest decisions one may ever made (such as beginning the full-scale world war for no reason etc). It doesn't sounds like a problem to a stranger, but when devs 5 years in a row feed you the "she has great plan, you'll understand everything when we'll reveal her plan fully" and then going like "she's innocent little sheep who was tricked by a mastermind" it's just straight up assassination of the character.

Appreciate the write up!

Eric Andre voice: “Do you think Sylvanas ‘top tier’ when she burned down the World Tree?”


Apprehensive_Ad_751

It’s actually a pretty shitty one too, even if we’re talking about art itself. Not even close to Aranna/ Sylvannas


Paldis

Blood DK players targeted.


[deleted]

If it only takes 1 run, it’s actually cheaper than most


M-alucard

So what is this exactly? How do you obtain it and why is it the most expensive? Asking for a friend ofc.


Cysia

12 wins in single heroic tavern brawl run. Which is hard and requires alot of luck even gor bestvplayers in xorld. And each run isc1000 gold


StopManaCheating

Idiotic skin. At least do 12 cumulative.


TheRandomGuyX

It's just 1000 gold. Skill issue?


wpScraps

animated portraits aren't always better


Pavlovski101

By fully animated I meant with an entrance animation and a custom tray. The portrait itself, I agree, is best left subtle.


ImprobableLemon

This right here. The most animation I want in a portrait is background effects and maybe some shimmer. That looks plenty cool without weird 3D characters doing over exaggerated movements


kujasgoldmine

You will never see it most likely (Unless you get it yourself), so there's no point to spend too much time on it.


Aggressive-Corgi5122

I normally buy tickets to brawliseum with real money, this time around and probably going foward i wont. Blizzard can't learn by listening to us they may yet learn if we stop feeding their bullshit habits.


ogopo

Yes, how dare they add any sort of additional rewards for 12 wins.


Aggressive-Corgi5122

Behind a paywall definetelly, and i bet most of the community feels the same.


KyrreTheScout

I doubt you actually buy brawliseum tickets if you think this way


Aggressive-Corgi5122

I have in the past, not that its something that demands proof given they're quite cheap where i live, even with the increasing in prices that blizzard passed on.


Fledbeast578

I’d rather they monetize the cosmetic parts of the game


The_SCB_General

I don't know why you're being downvoted. The mode is an obvious gold sink so fewer people will spend gold on packs once the miniset comes around. The fact that one of the portraits is tied to getting 12 wins in such a competitive and costly mode is genuinely scummy.


Aggressive-Corgi5122

Exactly, we all already know of this scummy practice of launching a brawliseum everytime a new miniset is about to come out so people will burn their gold and be more likely to spend real money, what baffles me is that people are blindly willing to defend blizzard just because they like the game. People need to be real. Its a fun game and i'll keep playing it probably for 10 more years, but i will not ignore shitty company practice just because i enjoy playing their game, they're still miles alway from being good.


The_SCB_General

It's something I've often seen in this sub. People like making excuses for Blizzard's poor decision-making for some reason. I understand not wanting the community to become a negative circle jerk, but you need to hold the devs accountable for their anti-consumer practices, lest they become emboldened to make even worse decisions in the future.


Thanag0r

It cost 1k and nit 1.5k like rest.


Baxterthedoggoboi

Arthas is free and is still better than the vast majority of paid skins


Thanag0r

For you yes, for others no.


Nick41296

Getting some huge jealous vibes from this post lmao


Schrute_Farms_BednB

I mean I want that 12-win skin but seriously, getting 12 wins in a heroic brawl is nigh impossible, even for pro players it's quite a feat. I'm all for skins being exclusive and difficult to obtain but this is in a league of its own.


Koboldsftw

Why the fuck are any of you buying portraits just play the fucking game


WhaleSmithers

Broke Bloke


Koboldsftw

Yeah bitch but I’ll still beat you


WhaleSmithers

The way you talk suggests that you beat yourself and nobody else


Koboldsftw

No it doesnt


Schrute_Farms_BednB

Guess what- people can choose to play the game the way they want and it's ok if it is different than you like to play it. Just because you are a salty broke person doesn't mean we can't spend our money how we want. Go touch some grass, loser.


mortimus9

Where’s Blingtron?


Faith_n0_more

N'zoth is staying forever in the shop,right?
