[MEGA THREAD] New Portraits
This is a continuation of the discussion from the old forums. Meathead started a thread there but it looks like nobody at CG saw it. The original thread is at https://forums.galaxy-of-heroes.starwar...

The thing is that, yes, the new art is terribly suited for a mobile game (and is only slightly better on PC at full screen) but the real purpose is (probably) that some suit at CG decided they needed to pivot to AI or wanted to write off their Midjourney subscription as a business expense.
Yeah, the art might be fine somewhere else but not at all suitable for a mobile game. Whoever is in charge of the UI needs to be replaced because they are making the game LESS accessible. It should be easy to improve a lot of them just by giving them different backgrounds - why do they all have to be black? Could have red background for Snips, yellow for CAT, blue for Fulcrum, then black for GL Ahsoka. Or have some of them facing a different direction.
Faction-dependent backgrounds would be cool. For toons that are different instances of the same character (the different Hans or Chewies, for example), having some color or symbol that tells people the faction would be enough to distinguish them even if you can't see whether or not Chewie is wearing goggles.
That doesn't help the HothTwins, of course, but it would help quite a bit.
For toons that are within the same faction, they simply need to be more distinctive -- STHan and RaidHan do fine, no one confuses them despite being the same character in the same faction. Similar differences should be present for other characters.
Yes! That would be great! Faction coloured backgrounds would really be helpful! Other twins could could face in different directions or have different poses.
Goes to show how bad the SWGOH UI designer is.
