Hit Rank 8 last night and wondering if I still have enough time to get Legend. Gonna try obviously, but just don't know how feasible it is.
I'm pretty sure I'll get rank 5, but that grind from 5 to legend is rough.
Plenty of time to hit legend but also depends on how good you are and your usual rank. if you have around a 60% win rate on your road to rank 8 then you'll prob have a hard time ranking after 5.
I usually reach rank 5 every month but haven't really tried to get it early enough to go for a legit climb for legend. I'm at 6 right now and I'm gonna tryhard rest of the way see if I can get it.
I started to play Midrange Paladin on rank 6 and in 1.5 hour I hit rank 3. I think it is actually strong, I crushed lots of Zoos , Control Warrior and Druids. But Secret Paladin is a tough match-up if you don't start first...

Would you mind sharing the list? I think the one I'm using is a bit outdated.
Just hit legend for the second time. FeelsGoodMan I used patron warrior from rank 5 all the way to rank 1 and after being stuck at rank 1 for a week, I used midrange druid with 1 raven idol which helps a ton. My winrate was 60% with patron only and with druid was 70% winrate.
Not a fan, I played Raptor Rogue earlier this season and the eggs need more activators; you should be running 2 abusives and at least 1 Cold Blood. Even Tinkers is good. IMO, I'd ditch the Preps and Sylvanas.
Unearthed Raptor is a REALLY cool card but it just hasn't found its place yet. I think with Standard coming, it will be a pretty good 3-drop for some Rogue lists.

With so many deathrattle minions that are disappearing? I have my doubts.
ITT: raydowner_uk can't even be positive about winning.
OT, I think I missed the boat on Legend. Rank 11 and doing fine but between being far more exhausted from work and IRL things than anticipated and simply just having a hard time really finding a deck that I'm happy to grind (Dragon Priest was my initial choice... it was okay for a bit so I might resume it) getting in solid sessions has been very few and far between; probably just aim for rank 5 and then see what tryharding gets me.
I will say, I am so ready for the new set... I don't mind the current meta decks that much, it would just be nice to have it shaken up after lists have been refined for so long.

Currently stuck betwenn rank 8/7 for the 2nd season in a row. My best rank ever was 2, long ago, when the meta was... You know, it was just something else. Did my climb mostly with freeze mage and zoolock, and I feel like hitting a wall of bad matchups, so I guess me not climbing anymore is more about mindset than skill. Sucks. Should I really play something brainless like secret paladin or combo druid if I want to reach legend this month? Because I really don't want to.
Still going to push for the last 10 days, mostly with freeze mage but... the time... positive mindset... Meh. Can't wait for standard to come out.
Of course, good luck to all of you willing to reach legend and not there yet!
I think Zoo is actually really strong right now and you can totally get to legend using it, especially if you run things like Sea Giant that help a ton in mirror match ups. Just keep at it and tweak your deck according to what you're seeing in the meta.
Freeze could also work, but the reason I've strayed away from it for a few months is the popularity of combo druid. It's just hard against combo as I'm sure you know.
Zoo seems super good right now, I'd agree. The double Giant list feels a little janky, I swapped to the Leeroy/Single giant list with some success but I'm so rusty with it that I was getting frustrated with myself on misplays.
Freeze feels like it could turn out either amazing or badly depending on how many Druids you see, whereas Zoo seems generally good if you're a solid pilot with it.

Mid stars rank 5 atm, i know its bad, but i think i am going to try to grind out to legend with secret pally for consistency. Please don't hate me :(
I already hate the people that hate you. Embrace your inner Spike, tell them it's none of their business what you play if you're winning. And good luck on Legend. :)

Face Hunter is tough for Zoo and can be tricky for Druid is they get a fast start and you don't run Darnassus in your list. Haven't faced Face Hunter for a couple of weeks now. It probably means that you also have a lot of secret pallys on your server.
Is Facehunter a good Counter to secret pally?

Everything that isn't about elephants is irrelephant.
Face hunter is pretty good against secret paladin, but not so much when they play Freezing Trap. It's the unavoidable damage that makes it hard for paladins (Exploding trap).
NA is a mess right now around rank 4 and 3. Secret Paladin, Zoo and Druid with random Priests and Warriors here and there. I'm not liking this situation because i'm also playing those 3 classes, which results in good matchup, bad matchup, win, lose, win, lose. When Paladins were a bit more dominant it was easier to go for a counter, now it's simply pure variation.
I've won all but one game tonight.. it's a game of skill and I must be awesome (logic of legend players here).. no.. it's a game of luck and I've drawn better than most of my opponents. Even winning match-ups that I shouldn't win it's clear to me that skill has nothing to do with it; their draw sucked and mine was average = I won.
Checking my tracker I have a 66% win rate with tempo mage for the month (and even better with most other decks).. I must absolutely rock!!... no. Unlike some I don't kid myself that it means anything at all. Take a split from tomorrow onwards and my winrate over the next 5 days could easily be 25%... the variation is massive because it's basically luck in the form of draw and match-up.
couldn't aggree more...i hit legend last month and there was no difference from rank 13 to rank 1.. legend is about the grind and knowing all the decks you might face. not being better than anyone. hell got there and I miss play all the time.
#humbleBrag
Though I will say with lucky draws you can definitely string wins together (I decided to work on my mulligans with Zoo and some of those games were definitely disgustingly composed hands), I ended up riding a streak to 9 last night partially due to it. But I would definitely only say partially, since I felt like I was piloting it much better than I had been earlier.

thanks for sharing, greatly appreciated!
Yeah that's interesting indeed, however I'd run a Mind Control Tech (instead a druid of the flame) for extra control against flood decks.
I started to play Midrange Paladin on rank 6 and in 1.5 hour I hit rank 3. I think it is actually strong, I crushed lots of Zoos , Control Warrior and Druids. But Secret Paladin is a tough match-up if you don't start first...
My Decks: Dread Hunter - Token Hunter
Just hit legend for the second time. FeelsGoodMan I used patron warrior from rank 5 all the way to rank 1 and after being stuck at rank 1 for a week, I used midrange druid with 1 raven idol which helps a ton. My winrate was 60% with patron only and with druid was 70% winrate.

Good luck everyone....only 1 week left.

Maybe it's time to try some "original" decks.
