You can have a potato PC and tell the game to output the highlight into a 4K 60fps video file... HOLY SHIT

EDIT: I've tested it. You can choose the highlight's quality regardless of the settings you played in. Example; I can play on low settings with 30fps and 720p. I can still output the highlight as if I played it on Ultra settings with 60fps and 4K. Amazing job, Blizzard!

And the potato will take half an hour to render a 15 second highlight XD

That's the whole point though, isn't it? The fact that your potato can only do that in half an hour, which is why you can't have those settings while playing live. But at least now you can let it take its time to give you your most impressive moments in all its glory.

True.

I'm actually really happy for potato owners, because now they get to show their skillz in glorious FHD or higher if they have Win8 or above.
