Made the final push today on the EU server after also doing it on NA on the first days of the expansion.
On NA I did it with Reno Druid after going on lucky streak from D3 to Legend. I think there were also 1 or 2 bots that helped pave the way.
On EU I did it with Rainbow Mage and it was much tougher. With Druid I made it while people were still experimenting but with Mage I made the push these days after the Patch so it was all DH. I persevered and made it lastly. 13k on EU while 30k atm on NA.
What was your experience like this month or half-month if you only played mostly after the expansion launched like me.
I didn’t play Standard at the start of the month, so I only started my climb after the expansion release. By the time I was done experimenting with the new cards, everyone and their mother was playing handbuff pala. Ngl, it was the hardest legend climb I have ever experienced. I had to go with pala for the climb myself and it was like 70% mirrors. The fact I insisted on playing aggro handbuff instead of excavate (much worse vs excavate palas) didn’t help. I finally accepted defeat and made 12k legend in EU with excavate pala before the nerfs. I was so burned out that I have been just playing the worst homebrews imaginable since then. I am like 23k rn so I don’t even care about ranking rn. If a balance patch fixes things soon, I might try doing a proper competitive month in April and see how it goes.
I mostly want buffs. I don’t even think nerfs are very urgent. A light nerf to DH is in order, but I mostly want a decent amount of buffs to new things that are not doing well.
I’m understand that there in fact are things to be adressed but i’m rather play the game as it is than the alternative.
With that said i’m got legend around 1-2 days after nerfs doing most of the climb before playing 1-3 games a day.
And as for buffs
I really don’t think i’m wanna see most of the stuff blizzard could buff into viability.
It is all weird stuff like Giants rogue or spell mage.
Early Legend in Twist, while it was still more or less fun — I believe it was BRM when I made it to top twenties or something like that, of course, subsequently somewhat lower since I haven’t played since Gadgetzan — dunno, don’t care about that meaningless number.
Some bottom Legend late in the month while returning to Standard after the rotation and expansion’s launch. The long version of the story available via the link.
Which just isn’t great right now.
Fewer bots, perhaps?
Bunch of Wheel Warlock for me, especially when playing with DK. That class needs some nerfs.
Top legend is also easier xD No bots in legend, so how am I stuck on 1k on EU and top 200 on NA? Will prolly finish better than this, i just started playing
What is important is I got my 11stars for the first time xD Next month, anything is possible.
I made Legendary the night before the new expansion went live.
I was running Blood DK all season and hit Diamond 1 once but was never driven to push it.
When Blizzard un-nerfed the cards before the new expansion, that one week window created the best opportunity for control decks like mine.
The Prince and the naga tutor were both reverted back to un-nerf mode. People were trying different things.
Then I hit 5 straight wins and reached legendary.
Sure about that? Since when have they not been able to climb there?
One could debate which populace has been ‘enlightened’ more by ‘modern educayshun’ [1] , but what is the point… Since when has skill played a decisive role in this game anyway?
At top ranks, it would seem that allegedly rigged matchmaking and so on have a greater impact anyway.
Besides, with bots abounding, the overall level of the whole ‘legendary’ league is obviosuly lower, isn’t it? Thus, this tendency (namely, fewer bots being on EU than AM servers and so on) would pertain to virtually the whole ladder, I’d think.
