Is Change Appearance disabled in multiplayer??

[Low]

As the title. Watching a 1v1 PVP stream, and one of the players wants to change the name of his hero, but the button to change appearance is not there. Is it a bug or a feature?

If it is a feature, multiplayer will become much less fun if you cannot kick your human opponents behinds with customised heroes

Changing a melee focused hero's name into 'Battlecruiser Operational' would be fun. :-D

Where can I find the 1v1 PVP stream? I'm interesting in seeing the multiplayer aspect. Thank you!

Thanks for providing the link to Evilpuppy.

I suspect they might have disabled it, so that when people play mutliplayer, they don't have the turn come to a stall due to one person editing his/her hero. Maybe a possibility to have an option to enable it in the advanced settings when starting a multiplayer game?

If not possible, a simple name change (as is done with cities) will suffice to still be able to get bragging rights when your opponent was beaten my Smelly McSmellface or something.

I think there's already a turn timer so this shouldn't be an issue.

True, smart thinking.

So still remains the question; is it a bug or feature? As it is Monday, and not a public holiday in Holland, it is safe to tag @Triumph Jordi to please shed some light on this topic

Any word on whether is is a bug or intended?

I assume it's intended, but it's pretty annoying. Is there a reason why? Was it due to desyncing issues? I find it odd because CK3 for example allows full customization in their MP games, and it doesn't seem to be much of an issue there. I know the games run on completely different engines, so it's not entirely comparable, but it still makes me wonder why they couldn't enable it.

This needs to be added to multi. Not only the names but the appearance aswell just like in single player. I got 3 heroes that look the same in my multi game. Don't like,

Just discovered this as well... disappointing. I hope it's just temporarily disabled due to desyncs or something.

you can edit city names still in multiplayer. Cant see it as a desync issue.
