Congrats. I got jack in 6 packs. What a waste of money.

I don’t believe it’s as straight forward as just the new ranking system. While the bonus stars are certainly helpful, I feel that the blip more pertains to the pre-nerf and even post 1st nerf of demon hunter than it does the new ladder. That deck could beat anything 80% of the time but most anyone. And now that result will perpetuate a somewhat easier climb for the legends which will take a few months to level off back to where it was before.

I hit legend myself for the first time last month after a 6 month absence. I had been to rank 3 before on the old system but never had the time to really dedicate to go all the way due to work/parenting. I made it to Diamond 2 with Highlander Mage and Control Warlock and after bouncing back and forth between D4-D2 for several days after the 2nd nerf I just went with DH and got legend in about an hour.

Did I deserve it? Tough question. I believe I would have got it this month regardless if I wanted to grind it out some more but why torment myself? I just started playing what I wanted after I made it. And now that I have I don’t feel the need to mess with DH anymore. Been playing only Highlander Mage again so far this month and I am at Plat 5 in 3 days. If I don’t make it again no big deal but I think I can and I no longer have that pressure to get it for the first time which is nice.

Lots of rambling here I know but back to the point of feeling DH is more responsible than the new ladder for the new legend players. Happy to be proven wrong by data in the coming months but that’s where I stand on it!
