Wow this was handled really badly. I have spend the last hour or so checking everything and changing around passwords because of your change thinking someone had my login data. How about having a prompt / popup ( similar to how you have the popup when finishing an arena game) explaining that kind of change? You guys don't know how angry i am right now having spend that time paranoidly changing passwords everywhere because of that.

Also after doing some reverse image search on google i am seriously questioning if you guys thought your change through to the end. Not only do you have a multitude of pictures depicting different media and pop culture, where i am 99% sure that you did not ask the original creator for permission to use the images (leaving the free images aside), no you also have multiple depictions of real live people and celebrity's , like Olivia Wilde (picture called default-0837) and Bonnie Wright (default-0782) . Not gonna lie but that can get you into some really big trouble

Revert (most of) these changes ASAP:
Use the previous default avatar.
People can change that avatar after 20 games played.

Why would auto assigning people random images that they don't want a good idea? Default it to nothing, or to a simplified set of non-objectionable icons. But giving them some random image found off the Internet is downright stupid

That was a surprise! I thought my account was hacked. As to the goals, I concur. But why not just assign a default avatar, one that is simple, generic, non sex, and ... boring, like the Blank Avatar that was replaced?

Vaya cagada eso de cambiar el avatar sin pedir permiso a los implicados, solo obtendrás quejas de los jugadores activos, evidentemente los propietarios de las cuentas inactivas no se van a quejar, por la simple razón de que no se van a enterar.

Personally I'd prefer that any avatar I see is an expression by my opponent, never a random assignation.

There it is :

Why not just put this one to the selection list instead of having peeps download & upload?
