With the announcement of the Rainbow Themed card backs for achieving Rank 20 in competitive play this Season I highly doubt that I'll be getting to legendary any time soon unless my deck suddenly gets better. I'm finding it hard to work hard on progressing further in ranked play. I'm thinking there might be some other options for ranked rewards such golden cards or a specific legendary for achieving rank 5 or maybe a Golden 'Rainbow' card back adopting the same golden trend that hero's and cards follow. What is everyone else's thought and ideas.
I don't think so. Rank 5 is very easy to get at the end of the season. Legend is the only rank one should aim for.
However I think there should be some kind of quest/achievement gold rewards for reaching rank 20,15,10,5 and Legend to create a feeling of progress for new players.

Any ideas on what would be acceptable?
Maybe something like this:
Rank 20: 100 gold
Rank 15: 150 gold
Rank 10: 200 gold
Rank 5: 250 gold
Legend: 300 gold
This allows new players to catch up with experienced players who almost have all the cards and don't really need the extra gold anymore. Also some motivation to reach higher ranks.
The reason why I don't like card back suggestion because I doesn't do anything for you essentially, just a cosmetic item. Also it's redundant. For participation, you already have season card back. For prestige, you have the Legend card back. Why include another one? Now if only they have another for 12 wins arena achievement.
even 10 gold for each star you get from your previous season's rank would be nice. that amounts to around a free pack or arena for anyone getting to mid ranks, or 2 at some point into the single digits? my estimates might be slightly off, but something like that.

I guess because the Rank 20 card back seems to be so easy and takes so little effort that everybody has it not giving any separation whatsoever to mid-tier players that may not be good enough to make legend but are actually playing more than casually. We are still early in the game as well and I think card backs will take on a different meaning. Instead of saying i achieved Rank 20, saying I achieved Rank 20 multiple seasons ago. Just thought it could an Aesthetic boost since they seem to focus on that quite a bit.
I can't believe (and I'm sure I'm not the only one) Blizzard still hasn't done anything about this. If you aren't good enough or don't have enough time to grind Legend there is absolutely no motivation to play ranked and improve your rank!
Being ranked 20 and 2 at the end of season still brings you NOTHING!
Flexr posted an idea for gold rewards earlier in this thread. TBH even half of these amounts would still be very nice. Or a random card, lets say common for reaching rank 10 and rare for reaching 5. Just give us something please!

Brings you a card back. I confirm that Legend hasn't bring me nothing for the last three times... I got my Legedn card back back in season 6 or 7 and then I had nothing.

Used to be a proud Handlock player.
Legend 17 times.
Still flirting with the ladder from times to times with Renolock.
I'd be more interested in seasonal events, like we've seen in WOW, for some nice cards, that would be harder to obtain than, say, Naxx cards and eventually you'd have to work two seasons or more to get them. That'd be nice...

1st of all: Get the earnings once you achieved the ranks during a season! Else i would maybe stop playing at Rank 8, if i wont make further anyway.

If you reach 101 in legend you get..... NOTHING. You get a card back the first time sure, but it's not like legendary players are rolling around in extra gold/dust from reaching legendary. At least they added the point system to have some motivation for qualifying into tournaments. Hitting the top 100 is easier than the top 16.
If you want rewards for winning and skilled play, arena is the place, no grinding necessary! If you can win 12 games... you are guaranteed packs/gold/dust!
But I understand the complaint. If you are the best constructed player/deck builder in the world (but only have time to play 100 games in a season) you get nothing.... But I guess my point is that the only rewards from constructed right now are measly gold earnings from 3 wins, and Blizzard points for the top 100. This makes building a collection without paying cash from constructed play VERY slow. I really don't know how Blizzard plans to attract new players with a growing card base that is way too steep to catch up.
