I went and got the preorder today and immediately switched my shaman decks to use Rastakhan hero portrait. Noticed immediately the image for his hero portrait seems very low resolution compared to other heroes and their portraits. He also wasn't animated at first, but I saw other tickets that this was potentially across the board for a bit. His animation seems fine now.
I mentioned it in a Battle.net forum post regarding the latest patch, but I wanted to know is anyone else noticing this or is it just me?
Playing on PC, by the way. So not a mobile issue from latest changes there.
Took a quick screen cap at start of a match for reference. I play on lower settings because my laptop is kind of dying and getting replaced by end of the year, but I know it isn't as bad as Rasta's portrait makes it look. Comparing him to Rexxar, Rasta looks like total shit.
small indie company can't even make a gif right
I experienced the same, also on PC. I hope too, that they will do something about it, since this is the first time a hero portrait seems ill detailed.
GIF? Jesus Christ, why are they using gifs?
For real though, even Blizzard would not be that stupid to use gifs for animations.
It is fine here.
I played a game in wild last night against a Pally with Sir Annoy-O and the artwork around the portrait looked really low res.
For me it is good HQ strange
Checked on my phone and it looks fine there too.

AmnesiaJK and SapNik, are you guys playing PC or mobile/tablet? Seems okay on my phone or iPad, but on my PC it's an issue.
isn't it a gif? it's a repeteable animation don't hold so highly on skins they are a really low efford content
It was bad for me as well, play on low res too. I think they had a little update and fixed.
I don't truly know if they are using gifs. In any case they shouldn't. Reason:
(Based on Wikipedia) What that means is, instead of noting the difference between each frame, a gif file contains all frames of the animation, which significantly increases the size. That's because gif files were not meant to be animated, their main purpose were images displayed on a website. Additionally, gif files have pretty low quality due to limited colour pallet. There is a workaround for that though. In short you can tell a gif file to "divide" itself into smaller "gifs" with custom colour palletes, but again - size also increases.
It definitely looks like they are serving up the 'mobile' version of the image even on PC. I play on a 4k monitor and Rasta looks awful. It looks fine on my phone because at that resolution you don't miss the detail.
Mobile version of HS is a disaster currently. They spoil rarities in card pack oppening, golden and alternative heroes are not animated while looking at your collection or building decks and resolution of some cards is horrendous (see dire mole). Haven’t preordered yet but I believe it’s the same downgraded resolution for King Rastakhan as you said. Idk wtf is going on with them.
I thought thijs' s video featuring the hero was a bad Photoshop tbh. Looks completely out of place to me.
