That's the ONLY reason for many players: to show off. If the opponent can disable skins people could just modify their client to show the skins they want without paying money. Like in the old days. Do you really have such a big problem recognizing a unit when it's using a skin? I play SC2 since release (so no skins) and never ever had a problem recognizing a unit with another skin. Plus I never heard a pro even mention this. Nobody seems to have problems with skins except for a few players who vent in forums like this. I don't use skins and still want no option to disable skins. I like the little variety the skins offer and like mentioned above strongly believe SC2 makes more money like it is now. Your argument is legit but just holds on for a little fraction of players I think. Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuure, it's not like Scarlett didn't request a reset because skins are banned at tournaments | ||

is there really a such big amount of players that only buy skins for others to see? i for example use only 2-3 because i honestly like their look, but i don't care if my opponent sees them. people keep on bringing the "people would stop buying" argument, but from the fraction i can read here on TL, its not that many i think. plus, with the option of custom skins for both sides, would that not be an even greater reason to buy all skins, so that i could have my very own look for my opponents as well, which means i would possibly buy skins for all races? as mentioned above, you could even make the option a purcase in itself, so again more money is made. for me, there are more points pro custom skins on both sides than cons (if any), but i still wouldn't buy to much (i don't like the money beeing used to blow up the already biggest tournaments), so maybe my opinon isn't the one to follow here | ||

You cannot use them in the official tournament of Blizzard and yet you have to see them on the ladder. Logic. | ||

I was unaware of this when I bought the last one, and I only got like 3 skins from it, I basically payed way over full price. Yes I learned this today and have requested refunds on it, still pending. Lol, good luck on that refund... Not going to happen | ||

I feel like I've been robbed by Blizzard, what a fucking awful system, keeps you away from the thing you purchased and puts it on a time limit. I'm refunding the new one too now because of this. | ||

I mean to be fair, did you read how the Warchest worked before you bought it? I haven't bought a single one of them because I don't like how they operate. | ||

I thought I knew how it worked when I purchased it, I would have grinded had I realized. Now I just want my money back, because I paid like $14 for 4 skins. | ||
