Ah, 9 Wins. That’s more like it.
Took me forever but I finally was able to reach level 60 on a class, Paladin. Next step, a golden portrait. In a couple months maybe lol
Hey I was thinking of a way to change ranked. It is such a huge time commitment even if one has the skill and cards to reach legend, that many probably don’t even attempt it. Expansions and adventures dramatically change the game, so how bout if seasons lasted until the next expansion/adventure? This way you may have a good 6 months before your rank resets. Card backs could still be earned monthly through specific challenges (easy to do so anyone could get them).
Everyone would get Legend if that was the case, and people who did get legend would just get bored. Thats too long. Way too long. Monthly is fine IMO
Yep. That’ll be way too long
I thought at level 5, there are no more win streaks…meaning you have to win more than you lose to move up. Not resetting every month would also encourage slower decks. Also in legend don’t you find your actual rank (like you are 120th best player in the americas, etc), so wouldn’t that always give incentive to play and move up?
Take a look at this chart:
0.5% of the players reach legend. This is because of the monthly reset, mainly.
So if now you have 6 months to reach legend, thats going to go up drastically. Probably closer to 50%.
Seeing the number of people that play hearthstone, I dont think seeing that I am legend rank 327,510 is going to be that encouraging!
At least I’ll get the legend card back
To make sure that those that are within the top .5% percentile is “legend” they’ll probably restrict the number of legend players to a number like say 100,000 and you’d be forced to maintain that top percentile instead of just reaching the legend rank and keeping the card back. So this over a 6 month period will be insanely competitive but stressful.
This could work if they make it like WoW arena where there’s titles aka cardbacks achieved when you reached a certain percentile. Copying off WoW arena’s ranking system
Challenger - Top 35%
Rival - top 10%
Duelist - 0.5% - 3.0%
Legend - better than 0.5%
Honestly as far as offering little cardbacks for reaching ranks like 10 or 5… i’m surprised they didn’t do something like this on top of like having a seasonal legend card back. Like one that marks the season you got it season 1 legend, season 2 Rival etc…
The WoW arena title system gave people more than enough incentive to ladder because of those titles, even if you got something like Challenger, and those that hit Gladiator aka Legend, those that hit the top .5% percentile had a unique title unique to the season. Plenty of bragging rights and hell people sold Rank 1 accounts for thousands.
I was talking a good amount with Cryoh today while he watched me climb the ladder and it made me want to drop in and say “what up”. Just thought I should let you guys know that I’ve rededicated myself to Hearthstone (after a slight casual drop off) and will make Legendary this season (I just HAVE to). Also, I haven’t been on the forums in what seems to be ages and I’ll try to be more active during my run. I’ll try and stream some as I creep closer. At rank 9 right now.
Feel free to add me, come watch some games and chat it up. See you guys at Legendary!!!

50 ranked games so far this season, 0 rogues. Where dem rogues at? ;_;
Only got to r12 so far, maybe they’ll come back at ~r5 once again.
[e] Oh, running a Kezan & Illuminator now, good times… good times.
We need more hunterinos in EU. Play more hunter!
I think if anything, there should be a new competitive mode outside of “Ranked” with a multiple deck format, probably on the fly tournaments or something, but I dont think extending ranked mode for multiple months is the right way to go
pretty sure they have the player base for a new competitive mode, i’d say its very likely that’ll happen in the future.
I’d be down for a tournament mode, especially if you can set up private rooms for it.
Hell yeah I would body you guys in the SRK we da bes lobby.

Honestly this is getting tiresome. They push content for the pace of pros who play this as a job. I don’t even get to have all the cards I need and there’s a new expansion. I don’t like the constant state of playing a gimped version of a COMPETITIVE MULTIPLAYER game, always grinding towards something. Call it the fighting game player in me but I like that both me and my opponent have full options from day 1.
I’m burned out on HS but maybe I’ll try this because it’s Naxx style where you just pay once and get all the new cards. If it was like GVG where you open random packs again I’d be quitting the game for good.
Edit: And really, fuck the new content. 80% of the existing cards in the existing collection are useless so how about you make them useful instead? What’s good for Blizzard’s wallet clashes here with what’s good for the game’s quality and the consumer.
