Cosmetic surgery for everyone!

Mar 07, 2011 - by Strom

As you have probably noticed by now, everyone does not look like this anymore.
What was originally intended as a launch feature got delayed to insure a fast release of the new system. Remember, this was November 25th, 2010. I intended to add it a few days later, but boy was I wrong. With the advent of the launch, a whole truckload of far more critical things showed up on my radar. It is only now, 3 months later, that I have been able to go back and deal with some of the originally planned features.

Now, lets talk about the avatars themselves. We are not rolling our own custom avatar system, at least not for now. Instead we are using globally recognized avatars aka gravatars. So in order to change the look of your profile here on DotA-GC, you need to go upload your avatar into their system.

This feature should add some nice additional flavor to our community.
