standard is easier in r5 to legend because of predictability, everyone is playing the same and you have a ton of statistic based sites constantly pouring info about standard making it a really effective tool to adapt your deck and playstyle to the meta, and then you have wild where there's not that much info and asides from veeeeeeeeeeeeery obvious decks like a Genn or Baku decks you literally can have no idea about what the oponent may be playing, facing a priest and mulliganing for a big priest? suddenly he turns out to be some velen OTK or some Renorazakus priest (yes this deck still exists, and yes you can reach legend in wild with it, the only tihng is that it's no longer broken) , or you are sure your warlock opponent is playing Renolock but then what version of renolock is it playing? is it the value gul'dan+N'zoth version? or will he burst you down with a Leeroy+PO combo??,
I guess predictability has an impact on the difficulty but if wild players are just less good than standard ones is it not easier to climb anyway ? And by "less good" i mean less competitive
Todays matchups in wild: big priest, jade druid, big druid, zoolock, dicsard lock, renolock, otk paladin, mech paladin, odd paladin, mill rogue, big/deathrattle rogue, mech hunter, dragon priest, even shaman, shuder shaman etc.... So yeah i think wild is a little bit harder cause of diversity IMO. But that is only my opinion. But im rank 25 player so dont listen to me xD
For me personally, wild is easier by a long shot. It might be due to the fact that I have almost all viable wild cards and can create any deck. In wild, I managed several times to get to rank 1, five stars (yet, I never made it legend). In standard, on the other hand, I normally finish around rank 8 or 9 without making any severe progress.
Taking aside difficulty, wild is more fun in general. The meta is more diverse, at least up to rank 3, when you start to see mostly the most oppressive decks. But this is most likely the same for standard.
That's the version i hear generally, not a difference that big between both format but people seem to say that wild is easier, due to the low number of players and to the fact that people are mostly here to have fun, more than to tryhard
No matter the expansion, it will be the same rng based game with 2 weeks of fun and more of 3 months waiting the next one. The real question is what will be the next broken decks that will rot the game ?
I don't think it's really possible to climb more than 2 ranks only with "luck", ofc i won some games by drawing perfectly but not every games at all. Most of matchups are winnable if you make the right choices. This deck is really strong but you have to know how to play it.
I get paired with a Shudderwock Shaman, Token Druid (aka Combo Druid#2, WW into SoTF into double SR) Kingsbane Rogue, Togwaggle Druid and Maly Rogue, in a row.

I mean, is there honestly a real difference on the road rank 5 to legend between both formats ?
If anyone who already reached legend in both formats can talk about their experience, i'm interested.
Thank you! :)

If you still think this game is not rigged at all then i can confirm you that you're part of the dumbest people of this planet

Depends on the deck but since most of decks are braindead 10 or 20 games are generally enough

No loss from rank 5 to rank 3 and still climbing easily, i don't call that "inconsistent".

Don't worry it was a pure coincidence, try to change your deck for even more coincidences.
