Why would someone want to? Like, honestly, I'm curious why someone would have an issue with their hero portrait looking cooler and having neat animations. Yeah sure the act of getting it is more grind than skill, but it's still kind of an accomplishment. Why would someone want to disable it?
It's like showing or hiding your status on PokerStars. You may show that you are Supernova Elite, that's the highest rank, but everyone would take you seriously since you very first hand. So people who show their legendary card back or golden hero inform everyone that they are hard players. It's some kind of tell, that benefits your opponent not you.
But who really cares, it's so shiny and awesome looking!

Actually, my first thought when I see a golden portrait is: "Probably a botter, or a noobstomper with too much time on his hands"(with noobstomper, I mean the people who grind goldens by forfeiting until they are rank 20, playing until the matches get too hard, rinse repeat).

Golden portraits are cool, but MAN that sounds tedious, especially for a purely aesthetic reward. Do people actually do that?

I think the game has probably been out long enough to get past that attitude. I mean, we're at the point where a gold portrait means less than two wins per day if someone has been playing constantly, right?
To me, it just means that they like a class. I'm as casual as they come and even I have more than 500 wins - just not all on the one class. :)

I also have more than 500 wins added up, but I can't quite understand how anyone could like to always play the same class.
Also, nearly every player with a golden hero I met so far was someone who played a really boring to-the-face deck, and usually not even very skillfully, which probably is the main contributor to me having a relatively low opinion of goldens.
Doesn't have to be a botter. I have golden shaman, warlock, and druid. I'm 40 wins from warrior. It's not that hard if you play constantly.
FTFY. At this point, you don't really need to be good or consistent to have a golden hero, if you just ladder a lot and stick to a core set of decks over a couple of seasons you're just going to end up with the things.

Hi all,
Can a player remove a golden portrait after they acquire it?
Nope, though it was mentioned by Brode that they might implement a way to disable it in "the future".

There are 3 kinds of people in the world. Those that can count and those that can't.
