What do you think, guys? Any chance to get more Visual Class Rewards than Golden Heroes for 500 wins in the Future?

 Ben Brode said they were thinking about it, but propably not and they will more likely rise lvl cap, since some people already has 1000+ wins.

So its unlikely, but still possible?

I smell elitism in this thread

The golden is in also cards so they would probably need to make platinum cards and more art (which is not possible).

No no no no

I read somewhere that wins beyond 500 would be tallied, never heard that they would add some sort of eye candy about it, though

Maybe not a Platinum Hero, but its possible they'll give us new skin for each class. That would be awesome

Platinum is a dumb idea since gold already exists in the game as a representation of prestige via hero portraits and cards.  If anything 1000 ranked wins should reward players with a golden legendary of their choice from the respective class and again every 500 wins following.

Interesting

Legendaries for Wins amkes not much sense. But extra Skins for Heroes would be a thing.... maybe :)

My Paladin and Priest now have win counts exceeding 500 - something must have changed?

Its sad that Casual WIns arent counted

Idk, hearthstone needs a lighter interface, not more baroque artifacts...

I don't think platinum colour fits in Hearthstone.

I'm not sure adding card rewards for raw wins is a good idea. 

Do anyone remember when golden portraits came in? This is what created the rank 20 farming mentality as people kept farming new players for easy wins to get golden portraits that are just for show.  

Now that it's calmed down, we are going to reward that behavior again with real rewards that are recurring to the point that it's better to spam rank 20 with hyper fast decks than actually ranking up?

No please. We don't need more reasons to grind for real rewards.

As far as a platnium hero or the like, honestly I'd rather we reward long time, high end play. My dream would be to utilize the legend card back and let it also house your accomplishments over time. Stars that mark how high you reached in legend. Medals for placing in major tournaments, so on. Thus you have a means of recording and showing your lifetime work on the game. Maybe make it so that hovering over their deck shows tooltips telling what they have done.

That would make for a better system than rewarding game farming, make the legend card back worthwhile again, and help instill pride in our better players.

 Latest patch changed it, you can now see total wins. 2112 on my priest for example...

There are so many options for them to make the game feel more progressive. Achievements, ulockable skins etc etc but they chose not do it for some reason. Game would be alot more rewarding and fun when you have something to work for.

500 is grindy enough, so no thanks.
