Hello, I reached Legend for the second time with Midrange Paladin, 24W-8L, 75% winrate! Defeating Pavel in the run was a little bonus.

I did it this season with my own version of aggro druid, leeroy was MVP in many games.

Which version of Murloc Paladin did you play?

At the moment I am trying elemental warrior and umbra jade rogue! Challenging to get legend with meme decks. Considering playing secret mage or midrange pally if I am desperate.

Yeah I made it, first time legend :). 

Switched playing from phone to laptop from rank 5 onwards, so only tracked that matches. 
Was struggling at rank 4 a lot, but the other ranks went quite easy. Picked up Paladin last month, 
so I guess it took me around 80 wins from start season to legend. Played murloc paladin only. Teched in
an glutternous ooze till rank 2 where I put second blessing of kings back in.

 Congratulations. You faced only 1 pirate warrior and 4 egg druids from rank 5 to legend? Wow! 

Yeah, that was the list that broke me out of my stall at rank 3 last season around this time.  Took me to Legend in about 20 games.  Great stuff!

Doing something different this season, and I feel like I've just had a breakthrough.  I'll share when it works. :)

Hey guys. So i reached rank 3 this season and i am grinding for more with Silence priest. But i wonder is there any difference between third rank reward chest and legend one at the end of a season?

My exams finished today  time to go for top 100 on 3 servers at the same time PogChamp

Not going for legend, but like to share my recent Control Paladin deck which had a 83% WR climb to rank 5.

Each game felt like I had a chance so its matchups in the current meta is extremely good.

I'm currently sitting at Rank 1, with 2 stars to go. But honestly I don't know if I have the energy to get the last two wins!! :(

I might just take a break and try again when we all get knocked back down.

Thought I should post here to document my first time legend. I'm also F2P, but have been around since pre-LoE so my collection is respectable enough where I have enough cards to play a few meta decks without getting bored.

From rank 5-3 I used Quest warrior w/ 1 primordial drake and I cut curator. It was solid up until I hit a wall of mages and I had to think about what could fare okay vs them. I added shield blocks and 1 shield slam to bring myself out of burst range, but I wasn't gaining much progress. After a game where a gunther mage burned me over 2 turns from 17 sitting comfortably behind their bs ice block to prevent my lethal, I felt it was better for me to just switch to a deck that was better against mages overall.

I switched to MR hunter and finally hit legend about 8 days ago. I tech'd in a Hungry Crab, 2 crawlers (however, crawlers may have been unnecessary as I barely hit any pirate warriors along the way), and the mvp The Black Knight. 

Along the way I think what helped in getting there for myself anyway was winning some of the unfavored matchups and not relying on queuing into your good matchups, staying positive, and knowing when to just take a break. After playing an unfavored matchup, win or lose, I waited a minute before queuing again so I wouldn't run into the same person. I dropped ranks multiple times so the climb wasn't all downhill to 1, believe me. The climb from 3-1 was the hardest, but 1-legend went more smoothly. You face some legend players at 1 who play meme decks and are usually easier to beat than the people at your current rank. 

Good luck to all who are trying to make that final push!

 First time legend with a fairly standard control mage deck.

I got legend for first time last night... Went from 1 star in rank 2 to Legend without a loss... Pushing on my other account for legend before season ends... Currently at Rank 4 on it... 

Anybody know how many people are legend on EU? 

Last season, one of my friends in Hearthstone were rank 23K. Are there just as many people this season as well?
