It’s worse than I remembered it.
At least 25% of your matches are against bots. Blizz knows about them enough to ensure you won’t get xp towards your next level if you win, but doesn’t care enough to ban them. If you concede immediately you will invariably get matched up with another.
The skinnerbox flashing stars are replaced with that ugly amber hexagon with the number in the middle after every match.
The only motivation for first-time legends is that ugly furniture-colored card back which usually makes bitter, angry non-legends spitefully rope all their turns when they match against you. Also annoying friend requests who want to bug you about how and when you got it blah blah tips for them etc etc.
I can’t wait for next season to start so I can de-legend
