Starcraft 2 adds Leveling and XP in Heart of the Swarm

My reaction: Starcraft 2 gets a Leveling System? YES! I can get back into this!
What? Its in Heart of the Swarm? Forget that. HoTs is taking advantage of consumers. 

Anyway, to the news.

Blizzard have announced on their website that Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm is gaining a patch with leveling and expericence system.
 Heart of the Swarm Preview: Leveling

Before you say, "Oh no! it is imbalanced!"
It isnt. All you get are cosmetics.

You can level from Level 1 to Level 20. Each race has a seperate XP/Leveling bar.
Players earn experience while playing Blizzard matchmaking modes and custom games on Blizzard maps. You’ll earn XP for the race you’re playing with each unit you build or destroy. Experience is awarded at the end of the match.


Blizzard have said this, "We’re already working on concepts like “bonus XP for your first win of the day” and “extra XP when you play in a party with a Battletag or Real-ID friend”. We’re considering “bonus XP weekends” and other sorts of activities, which will be tested in the beta."


Each level you earn awards either a decal or a portrait for the race that you’re playing. These rewards get more and more epic as you progress in a race. The rewards will be different for each race, so truly dedicated players can push themselves to great heights for each of the three races.
