It would probably fall under Cosmetic Award or And Your Reward Is Clothes
Alright, so I was starting to pothole the trope in relation to former Master Skins in Heroes of the Storm -which, for context, look like normal base skins that have been upgraded to look more veteran-like (think of a Warrior with bigger pauldrons, beefier swords, a Cool Helmet, what have you). Then I notice that "In this context, upgrade only means an upgrade in terms of gameplay, not flavour or story. So, switching out different pieces of equipment, even if they're upgrades In-Universe, doesn't count". So I'm not quite sure it would fit this trope anymore, there are a few subtropes listed but not one that would fit better: an Equipment Upgrade that is entirely for aestetic purposes and carries no other changes to the gameplay. Am I missing it, should I carry on and pothole it anyway? Does the trope exist but i didn't see it?
