Legend don't mean anything no more

It’s so easy to get legend now days it’s not funny, that’s why so many doing because all have do pick a most broken deck and rush way they’re. It’s not hard, it just grind few games and you’re there in no time.

Where the fight like old days where it actually took something it like blizzard dumb rank down.

Maybe it is time for more challenging task. For example, I don´t know, learn English properly…

If English is not his native language, then even with limited skills, that makes him Bilingual.
Would that We could all say the same, as communication is what makes Peace and prosperity possible…

This has been a thing since the start.

Perhaps Legend has never mattered.

Maybe the new legend should be 11 star bonus, maybe that should be considered the true legend rank!!

Yeah, just grabbing the current top deck doesn’t climb you that high.

Legend never meant anything other than the value you put on it yourself.

rushing all the way they are to legend with meta decks has always been the way

They should Just display your position on ladder like what happens in legend at this point.

This thread is the “I am smart” meme in disguise. It’s nothing impressive that you went Legend either so spare us the veiled bragging.

Go Legend 1 then if you’re that great; also stop insulting people who aren’t Legend; not everyone is born with the same chances.

The only reason hit legend was with BSM before the nerf because I pick a busted deck.

It was always like that with the difference people were new to the game and of course less skilled, it happens to every 10 year old game, it just gets figured out and people get way better at it

I mean you could climb just the same playing face hunter back in the day and i wouldn’t consider that the epitome of skill expression

Why does it matter? Getting legend is the only goal left in the game for the free stuff each month. There’s no real tournament scene to speak of. The one that does exists requires an absurd grind to even qualify and have a chance at playing in the few tournaments. Being top of the ladder gives you no benefits. Perhaps if you aren’t having fun just move on to something else?

I still have fashion goals. Ever since I first played The Dalaran Heist it was my dream to wear as much E.V.I.L swag as possible, skin, coin skin, card back, even body and brain! (Deckwise I mean, lol. I ain’t got a Rafaam costume in the closet IRL though it is on the Halloween ideas list)
That’s what anyone who plays warframe longer than a month will tell you “end of the story? We ain’t got one and we don’t want one! FASHIONFRAME is the real endgame!”

And that’s kind of a good thing. I don’t want to feel that Legend 1 is going to give more F2P cards; leave that part of the game for people who REALLY want to rank exclusively without any other reward; I personally just don’t want to rank half of the time I play at least.

Base legend is already time wasting as it is without 11 stars; you can be stuck inside diamond for dozens of games since there’s no bonus; people with 11 stars are a very small minority anyway since most of them appear to play for several hours a day.

People don’t like the truth, especially those that want skill in a RNG game.

You misunderstand the basic mathematics involved here. You erroneously think that RNG works CUMULATIVELY when in reality it’s a zero sum game.

You share being unlucky or lucky with other players equally hence given enough games RNG is a zero sum game unlike skill comparisons.

SCENARIO 1
20% of games are decided by skill
80% of games are decided by RNG
250 games are played per player

SCENARIO 2
100% of games are decided by skill
50 games are played per player

The leaderboards for both of these scenarios are going to look the same, with the most skilled players on top every time. RNG is just filler.

Yes more or less. I will only point out that very strictly speaking there is a very small chance of obscenely bad(or good) luck of a player that skill will be overridden by bad(or good) luck but 250 games is indeed quite a lot for that to happen for almost all people (I would say after ~80 games this game starts “ignoring” RNG in terms of how a deck ranks).

It’s why I always add “given enough games”; yes RNG is brutal… in ONE game; given enough games it’s a zero sum game.

If we’re talking about getting n heads and n+k tails out of 2n+k coin flips, as k increases the probability rapidly decreases. At a certain point the chances are so low that if every human being on this planet played Hearthstone, we’d average one instance per decade.

I don’t really have any ethical problem completely ignoring such infinitesimal probabilities. The probability of people lying, or just accidentally being mistaken, is often orders of magnitude more likely than a particular report of “bad luck” having happened to even one person ever. It’s ridiculous to give people the benefit of the doubt when giving them the penalty of the doubt is so much more probable.
