You lost to a Warrior. Was he a DMH Fatigue style?

end of the season sometimes it gets weird. Makes sense to lose to a DMH Warrior which in my opinion is perhaps one of the strongest off-meta decks and considering the Dudes Paladin decks it works wonders vs them. Way too slow to climb thats the only issue.

BTW congrats on reaching Legend man. I would personally use an Equality just to break through some kind of Taunts wall.

It was easier to reach legend with new system as I had much more time to try and do it. I was playing inner fire priest for long time, but had problems. Switched to Spell Hunter with Barnes Y'Shaarj, Rage Unbound, and then eventually lucked out with turn 4 "I win" enough times to get legend couple of days ago.

First time legend here, so had to make an account for all other who may become frustrated!

Started grinding after not having played in a long time (I think some point in UnGoro?), and thus, had to start from rank 25. I had a quite a good streak until rank 3 with dude paladin. At this point struggles started, however, I got past them and got to rank 1 3 stars 2 days ago with a total win rate of about 60 %.

Then after few losses I started to doubt if there is something wrong with my deck, play style or something else. Then, like all the guides and forums say otherwise, I started switching decks and in few hours was back at rank 3.

Today I started to play again, but this time with murloc paladin with not much hopes to get to legend. I had the longest streak of all the grind with 10 wins back to rank 1 3 stars. After this it was around 10 games to finally reach the legend. First time with final boss was a easy win with a perfect starting hand and hunter conceding after 3 turns!

So my two cents to the topic is: Don't get tilted and doubt yourself! You can do it!

First legend!!! \o/ Im very happy!!! Solid deck!! Very fun to play

I actually did it!!!! Holy crap I never thought I actually could.  Today I went 18-6 with a zoolock from rank 2 to legend.  Rank 5-3 was mostly secret mage.  I just stalled out at 3 with secret mage, then I switched to a Prince Keleseth zoolock.

Too bad I can't have fun in the legend ranks now since it's the very last day haha.  I'm so glad I did it though.

The kicker?  I have only 69 ranked wins with warlock haha.  By far my least played hero, so it feels a bit cheap, but whatever, it still counts =P

I'm the closest I've ever been (I think rank 3 4 stars as of last night).  I've been playing mostly secret mage (I truly believe it has a surprisingly high skill ceiling, even though it is a very powerful deck with a high skill floor as well haha).  I just have to get like 15 more wins than losses the rest of this week, with Friday being a stat holiday.  I think I can do it.

The one problem I'm having... The only class I have a losing record against is warlock, oddly enough.  Thankfully I've still faced less than 10 warlocks above rank 5, so it doesn't worry me too too much.  But still.  I'm like 5-2 against paladin with this deck, 9-3 against priest, something like 10-4 in the mirror matchup.  But like 3-5 against warlock, which I think is strange, because secret mage is supposed to walk all over warlock haha.  Granted I don't run silence or polymorph (I've teched in Eater of Secrets for the most part, though sometimes Spellbreaker goes back in for a bit) since I don't see them too much, but even if I did, I just feel like their self healing is too strong for the mage burn to overcome.

I already made it per the post just before yours haha.  Switched to a Prince Keleseth zoolock deck.

The more I played that secret mage the more I actually realized it's tougher to play right, and more people just know how to play around it.  It was fun though! Feels good to be legend finally haha.

only rank 5 these season  

ohhh i seee xD I feel you ! So zoolock worked for you since theres so many cubelock, ppl will mulligan thinking you are control muhaha

my highest this season was rank 2 (dunno how many stars tho :( ). It's the 2nd season in a row I am reaching rank 2. Time to get to this legend rank. The problem is the ranked will be in chaos once the expansion hits, so I should hurry :).
