Cosmetic Skins for characters and other items can be purchased using Show-Bucks and Kudos.
Currency Show-Bucks currency is a real money purchase, and is used to unlock cosmetics. Kudos is also another type of in-game currency that you cannot purchase with real money, instead you gain the currency by just playing the game. This currency can also be used to buy cosmetics. Lastly, Crowns was another form of currency you could obtain by winning games. Unfortunately it was removed in favor of Show-Bucks and any previous Crowns you had before will now be converted into Kudos.

Graphics feature State Notes
Widescreen resolution
Only 16:9 widescreen resolutions are officially supported. To force an aspect ratio other 16:9, the game must be configured to a resolution higher than the desktop's. (e.g. 1680x1050 on desktop, but 1920x1080 ingame; only works in fullscreen). Additionally, 1024x768 can be forced by setting a monitor to portrait mode.[6]

You can also force the game to adapt to your current resolution by somehow moving its window, e.g. using AltDrag/AltSnap, or using Fullscreenizer as detailed in the Ultrawidescreen section below.
