which commanders u usually play, or you just focus on only 1 commander? if not, how many max level commanders do you have? was there a statistical data of most-played / least-played commander around?

Since coop came out, forget when that is but a long time.
All maxed out and 99% of the time doing random on random map, unless I’m testing a commander for something really specific that 1% of the time.
Stats is pretty evenly distributed so nothing of note as you’d expect.

I suppose a month after the game went free? Started the week it did became free but I did campaign and some versus AI before coop.
I used to main Artanis, most of my mastery grind was with him until I started buying commanders.
Nowadays it’s Karax, Mengsk and Alarak, I try to keep it balanced but those 3 I end up playing more frequently.
Theoretically I have all commanders maxed but some I haven’t bought yet, unless you’re counting prestiges, then i can say that half of them I did finished prestiges.

Hmm speaking of which, I wonder if Blizzard will allow un-purchased commanders to be played free this year as well like it did last year.

Eh doubtful, that was back when they had interest in supporting the game. It was as much an ad for the commanders as it was a nice little “world’s gone to heck, here’s something to do”.
I personally started playing coop around when Stukov came out, whenever that was. Had played the campaigns when they came out, dabbled just a bit in ladder during WoL.
IIRC, I started after Nova came out? I still remember Karax’ Solar Forge upgrades costing 200/300/400 (both mins and gas) for each level upgrade (back when Team Liquid’s suggestion was to almost always never get lv3 unless in niche situations. This made sense back then).
I originally played at a video game lounge, but their policy was to NOT allow ANY IAP (so couldn’t purchase commanders 
), so I stuck with just Swann and Karax for over a year. I eventually reverted to my old WoL account, leveled up Swann and Karax from scratch, back to master, AGAIN. Then did all of the other COs to Mastery.
My mains at this point were Swann, Karax, and Stukov.
I recently had to get a new PC, and luckily, running a 2011 PC game was a pretty low bar to clear (1440p, 60fps, medium to high settings). I can now delve into the Prestiges. Fully went through Karax, HH, and Zagara. It got kinda “grindy”/boring doing it 3x in a row (ie. P1 to P3 on the same CO), so I’m going to go in-breadth for a new set of COs (one from each race. Currently, P1 Vorazun, P1 Nova, and P1 Abathur).
Been playing from the start. All commanders, all prestige at level 15 (on Americas), probably 700+ games at Brutal+6. Even made a couple custom COOP maps and I regularly offer to carry people in Brutation.
Right now I generally just random map random commander Brutal+ in soloq on Americas.
If I were to guess my most played and least played commander in the past year I’d say Mengsk for most and Zagara for least.
Blizzard tweeted a while back that Raynor was the most played commander in the COOP game mode, but that’s pretty expected since he’s the first commander. If I had to guess which commander was the least played among the entire mode I’d say Fenix, I just see him get trashed so much in the battlenet forums based on his 2018 performance.
How many games average your guy played weekly? I wonder those with 1000 level, took them how long to achieve that. Nowadays quite frequent got an level 1000 ally.
That just depends really. If you just enjoy the game then you’ll just get to 1000. Obviously the more you play the faster you get there. The goal was never get to 1k though.

Since the beggining, when Vorazun was the strongest commander. Had a few hiatuses though.

RIP - the glorious days.
since beginning of co op . now almost level 700 but since 2 years playing less. cause no new maps and prestige is not what I expected. and War3 reforged came out 
I’m surprised I managed to get to lv420 given that I didn’t play that often back then. However, even though I can now play everyday (I’m told the FWotD bonus adds up) it’s different now since 1) no XP boosts, and 2) I’m pouring most of my time into doing the Prestiges. Those will slow things down much
I started when Mengsk came out, but I don’t think I play as often as the other people on this forum, most of my time lately has been consumed by Deep Rock Galactic.
I do make it a point to try and at least complete the Weekly brutation though, even the ones that piss me off.
1 year, 3 months. My mains are Vora (almost from the start) and Kerri (since Prestiges came out) but I try not to play them too much. I currently have 12 Commanders. Frequency of playing each:
Vorazun > Kerrigan > Zagara > Abathur > Zeratul > Karax > Stukov > HH > Artanis > Tychus >> Raynor >>> Swann
I think I’m unlikely to play Terran on ladder, if at all.
350 on NA - 12 CO’s, 34 prestiges; regular games & mutations, incl repeated runs with diff CO’s
120+ on EU - 5 CO’s, no prestiges; regular games & one game of the weeky mutation
120+ on KR - 6 CO’s, prestiged only Zag P1; mutations only
Any reason why played on different server instead of focusing level up all commander on 1 server?
I initially started on Asia coz I thought Singapore was in Asia. But due to ping and language issues, at around lvl 60 and 3 CO’s, switched to NA where the Singapore server actually is - that’s where I leveled up all the CO’s I had. Prioritised lvl 90 on NA first, with 3-4 COs, then KR coz I was about half-way there. Then levelled up more CO’s on NA so I could play with them, and at full mastery.
Started playing on EU just to slowly work my way to lvl 90 there - I’ve had long-term travel in the past so having a low ping at max lvl in the various regions is ideal. Once at lvl 90, the ascension lvl doesn’t really matter (except for vanity and the lvl 90-180 bug).
For the CO’s I did level up on EU and KR, the priority was mutation handling. So each server has some combo of these CO’s leveled - (hero-based) Zeratul, Kerri, Tychus, (swarmy) Kerri, Zagara, Stukov, (army) Artanis, Zaratul, Kerri. Apart from that criteria, Vorazun leveled on all 3. I’ll avoid Prestige grinding on EU & KR until there’s an XP boost period, or they let us choose Prestiges; except Zag who I play 99% as P1 and P1 is the first prestige after default.
I see. Now I know why blizzard recommend me play on NA region instead of asia region when I registered and start play sc2 7 months ago.
