    These are all super nice.  I've only been playing a little over a year and I don't have 1k wins yet but i'm grinding towards the shaman one since its my main class.  

    I really like warrior, rogue, mage in particular.

    Rexxar looking at Valeera: "WTF? Why she's a pirate?"

     

    Now seriously, why is Valeera a pirate, and why does Rexxar has that "WTF" face...

    The rest of them, look sick af.

    Definitive, not-at-all-subjective rankings:

    1. Gul'dan - Best

    2. Thrall

    3. Malfurion

    4. Garrosh

    5 & 6. Uther & Jaina - Tie

    7. Aduin

    8. Valeera

    9-99. Being hit by a bus

    100. Rexxar

    Regardless of the art, it is nice to see some "long-term goals" stuff coming in. Here's hoping a real achievement system (with gold/dust/card rewards!) is coming next...

    100% agree with you, the Derp-xxar portrait is horrible.

    Always rank 20/Bronze.

    I don't really like the original Jaina portrait but I think she looks amazing on this one. Valeera and to some extent Rexxar on the other hand look kinda weird on these to me.

    I am a little disappointing in these new portraits. 

    I really want to like them because their sole purpose is to be better than the ones we have now. but I don't actually like most of them.

    They all look a bit to animated and digital to me, I would prefer something with more texture and feel to it. Gul'dan looks absolutely wonderful, thrall and uther are also pretty good, but all the others are just way to over done and it makes them looks like dumb cartoon characters, especially garosh and raxxar.

    I'd hate to be that guy, but these new portraits are bad. I just hope that there will be an option to change from the new portraits to the old ones.

    Garrosh is a reference to WoW yes. You fight him corrupted by the heart of Y'Shaarj at the end of Mists of Pandaria. Other changes referencing WoW and Warcraft more widely include Jaina's new clothes and hair style (not the fire mage bit though), Anduin wearing armour as King, and Thrall in his Warcraft 3 (and early WoW?) armour.

    Valeera certainly isn't a reference to anything in Warcraft canon (pun intended), but I'm super happy with her as I have been waiting for a pirate rogue hero for ages.

    Rexxar looks really stupid. The rest is ok/good, with Malfurion, Guldan and Garrosh being the best ones.

    As a warlock player with no alternative skins, I am exceptionally grateful to see my class getting one of the most badass 1000-win portraits. Imho almost all of them look sick (Garrosh is my other favourite, but warrior is one of my least played classes) with the exception of Rexxar.

    I agree with you on the warlock being the nicest and the Derpxxar exception part as well, but beg to differs on Warrior ... It seems - thematically at least - to be very off ; Any old artwork with Garrosh looking all armored-up and ready to fight would have been better. Still, not as awful as poor mentally challenged Rexx. They should have added drooling at this point

    Yes, this is Garrosh in his corrupted form during the Siege of Orgrimar raid where he absorbed the heart of Y'shragg as a last resort to hold on to his power against the rebels.

    I know a lot of people think rexxar is the worst, but to me, Garosh is the worst.

    He is a bright pinkish/redish/brownish bald guy with neon blue spikes. I understand it is his corrupted form but honestly, he looks like an idiot. I mean, at least rexxar is funny.

    I am rather disappointed that the heroes get no new voicelines whatsoever with the portrait. Having a "King Anduin" speak in the boyish voice "I won't let you down" just seems out of place.

    Once you see it ... you can't take it seriously. Especially with his hand gestures. I picture an old orc talking about his prostate exam.

    I don't mind Rexxar tbh. If anything, the colouring is much superior to the Basic portrait, and lines are more proportionate.

    What i don't like so much is Uther: he looks less "epic" than the Basic portrait.

    And Anduin's nearly identical to its Basic rendering.

    Gul'dan wins my chart, but my Warlock counter is too low, and the best Warlock decks atm are not my cup of tea.

    Wow. By far the worst letdown in a while... I was so looking forward to these skins and then this. I have hunter at 820 wins but using this new portrait would be almost embarrassing. My second best class is mage with 800, but I bought the Medivh skin three years ago which is just straight out better. Also: Jainas cleavage  now is so flat, it looks in wrong proportion to her shoulders. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t care about sexyness in a card game, but this is neither consistent with the standard portrait nor with the mentioned proportions. Her shoulders seem to be a lot wider than the rest of her upper body half. No new voice lines? That’s just lazy

    Blizzard should have known that these portraits are of paramount importance for long time players and still fucked up. I’m back to farming golden portraits.

    I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?

    Warlock has Nemsy. I'm very fond of her and she is still easy to get. 

    I am also very much disappointed in the use of the old voicelines which is definitely just lazy. Anduin is boring af with or without the 1000 wins. 

    But meh, probably for most of the blizzard fanbois the new portrait doesn't have to be nice on its own. It's just for showing off purposes I suppose.

    Garrosh, Uther, and Jaina are all awesome, not really motivated to grind too much for the other ones.

    Rexxar seems terrible, absolutly the worst of all nine. Valeera as a pirate is pretty wtf (is it an Halloween costume?), Garrosh also looks not fitting in his corrupted version as a goal potrait instead of a more badass looking one.

    All the others are fine, but those three... I just cannot like them at all.

    Yeah, but I was talking about myself. I don't have Nemsy, so the 1000-win portrait was a warm welcome. I definitely agree with you about the old voicelines part, I was also quite disappointed hearing the same old stuff all over again, but I don't expect to see any changes in this regard. I think that the community may encourage Blizzard to change Rexxar's portrait. I have a strong feeling, that the latter thing will happen in the nearest future.

    Well, it's a reference to that one time, when we had to fight Garrosh back in MoP. He wielded Xal'atoh and absorbed partial power from the Heart of Y'Shaarj.

    Oh please let that happen. Have you any information about other forums or pages and the reactions of the playerbase there? Or any other base for your feeling? I would be really surprised if they changed the portrait, but they were more responsive for some time now. Still, this is a lot to ask. *fingers crossed*

    Warlock is the only class where I am over 1k wins currently, so I am very happy with bad - ass - Guldan. On the other hand I hate playing with and against hunter(I think I have less than 200 wins with huntard) so I am very happy to see the reward for smorcing successfully for more than a 1000 times is a dumber looking rexxar. 

     

    The other portraits are ok i guess, valeera looks a bit like she is attending a Halloween party, which usually looks dumb 11 out of 12 months but meh, guess it fits with her playstyle, especially in wild. 

    A bit disappointed in Garrosh, too, as his golden portrait is one of the coolest imo (fire!) but this corrupted version doesnt really do it for me. At first I didn't even recognize him (yeah I have no clue of wow) but I guess if this version is interesting for some wow-fans it is alright.

     

    All in all cool addition for long - time - players, although new voices-lines would have made it even better.

    Well, I don't have a basis to prove my words, as this is just a speculation, but I think it may come true. I remember people getting confused over Omega Defender's previous artwork and Blizzard gave us the art of the female goblin we now have. So if people make a big deal out of Rexxar's 1000-win portrait, I believe the devs will feel forced to do some improvements.

    Warlock and Warrior are best for me. Sadly only class that I have over 500 wins (and still long road to 1000) is mage. All classes beside Mage I have around 300-400 wins. I will have to wait for this portraits.

    Just want to give my two cents to show that every opinion is subjective. I think that Gul'dan is underwhelming, it's just a green blur! I know that Fel is green, but this is ridiculous, they could've gone with Shadow or Fire theme.

    Rexxar is derpy, Valeera is silly (they should've given her normal weapons, they don't fit).

    What's with Jaina's right hand? I' m probably not completely up to date with lore.

    I think that new Uther is better than the old one; I know that radiant eyes are a sign of holy light infusion, but he looks so much better with normal eyes and the contrast caused by black really makes him stand out.

    Thrall is very nice, Garrosh is good. Malfurion is nice, but bit boring. Anduin changed for better, but the overbite is strange. My highest win class is shaman with four hundred wins, so it's gonna be a long way for me.

    The thing that really irks me about the Rexxar one isn't just the artwork itself, but the concept. It's literally just the same character from a different angle. You could've replaced the bow with an axe - the weapon he actually uses. It was right there.

    Oh well. That Garrosh one is worth it at least.

    1000 wins lazy portraits, they didn't even bother changing the voice lines at all, and some of them look terrible/uninspiring.

    Also there are no animations to them or anything seems like they give no respect to their veteran play base..

    I personally despise Garrosh as a character And wish they’d add one of a million other horde warriors as an option. Tauren warrior would be preferred, but Garrosh is the lamest person to represent the warrior class... how do you have amazing peeps like Maldivian, Jaina, Uther, Thrall, Guldan, then it’s like “oh you can have this bum” at the very least give us Grommash instead...

    I don't know if it was fixed, but I can confirm what frmorrison said. I tried to log in with my 1000-win warlock, but I received an error message. After repeating this 2 more times, I then picked another class with the original skin (hunter) and I continued the brawl.

    I don't know if it was fixed, but I can confirm what frmorrison said. I tried to log in with my 1000-win warlock, but I received an error message. After repeating this 2 more times, I then picked another class with the original skin (hunter) and I continued the brawl.

    Oh, so you couldnt even start the brawl, interesting. And here i thought their spaghetti code cant surprise me anymore lol.

    Yeah, I wasn't allowed to use Cap'n Valeera for the brawl.

    I have been amazed at how many errors have come from what should just be a routine process of adding extra hero portraits. I suspect the fact they use the same voice lines as the base heroes means they are tied to the assets of the originals, which saves space in the memory but if done sloppily can mean they act weird when parts of the HS code haven't been told how to recognise them.

    I personally despise Garrosh as a character And wish they’d add one of a million other horde warriors as an option. Tauren warrior would be preferred, but Garrosh is the lamest person to represent the warrior class... how do you have amazing peeps like Maldivian, Jaina, Uther, Thrall, Guldan, then it’s like “oh you can have this bum” at the very least give us Grommash instead...

    Yeah Grom andwith a cool interaction when you play it
