EU standard ladder. Rank 14 now, but i've joined the darkside. Couldnt get passed rank 15 with my dragon priest or Burn mage because of PW. Well i've made a quick PW deck and just ranked up like crazy. Fast games, with 1 loss. I'll switch back to my other decks when hitting rank 10.
Ok, i simply do not get it. What else should i do to reach legend rank? I play 34 games per day on ladder. My decks are: dragon priest, defensive evolve shaman, silence priest and midrange shaman. They all have wr ~ 54%. So sometimes my winstreaks goes up to 8 and i reach rank 3. But then there comes hard counters to my decks and i drop to rank 5. This is a second season when i face this. Are you guys in the same boat here or is it just my lack of skill?
I'm going to try and climb with a Dragon Priest deck but with this meta so fast right now it may be difficult. Most matches I am running into in the early climb are unfavored for me and I seem to be going backward. May have to switch it up for the climb, or should I stick the deck out and learn with it?
Actually I was stuck between 9 and 8 for over a week until I switched to Dragon Priest a couple of days ago.
Then I climbed pretty quickly to 5 - finally just broke through a couple of minutes ago.
I'm going to stick with it for now, maybe switch back to Burn Mage if the meta seems different at 5+...
If you're interested in the list, send me a PM and let me know.
Two weeks later and I'm still stuck at rank five, after having made it as high as 3***...
Using a combination of Dragon Priest, Burn Mage, Secret Mage, Ramp Druid and Miracle Rogue: maybe I'm playing too many decks?
IDK. Anyway it's starting to look out of reach again.
Guys i think (I'm not an expert Cause i reach first time Legend) U need to play only one class, only one deck. And master it. I prefer to play shaman and hunter, but never reach Legend (max rank 3-4) this time i try to Use Warrior. And I'm Done it. Keep trying !

Do you have 54% win rate with each deck or is that the win rate you see on decktracker for all players that uses the deck? If you have a true 54% win rate and 34 games a day, you should be hitting legend in 10-11 days from rank 5, so just keep grinding. But given that you are stuck at rank 5, I don't think your true win rate is 54%.
You also need to look at how your decks work collectively and how to counter queue. Among the list of decks you play, think about what tier 1 decks you dominate and what decks you are dominated by. If you play 3-4 decks, you should have a hard counter (60-70% win rate) to every popular tier 1 deck in the meta. I don't think you have that here as you are only a slight favorite against quest rogue with token shaman (I assume that's what you mean by defensive evolve shaman; if it's not and it's the version that runs lightning storm, then this is even worse) and dominated by quest rogue with your other 3 decks. If you face all quest rogue with your deck list, you won't get past rank 5 no matter how many games you play.
Similarly, you don't have a hard counter to miracle rogue, control pally, and midrange pally. There's something to be said about keeping this game simple and running 2 decks with one being a hard counter to what counters your other deck, such as aggro druid + jade druid.
If you want some in game help, feel free to add me. I am not a pro or anything, but I generally am amongst the first 100-200 players to make legend each season on the NA server.
Hit legend for second time in a row this month... Climbed to rank 1 from 5 with Dragon Priest, dropped back to 2 and than went to legend without a loss with Murloc Midrange Paladin...
