I've tried so hard and never gotten it. Even with face huntard and secret paladin, I couldn't do it. I must just be trash.

everything what I ever needed to grind legend is my decklist on the right side of my screen and knowledge of the meta.

this means that you have to know exactly every deck and every single card it concerns if you face an opponent.

you always have to know which cards he can play in which turn to be able to calculate and play around different scenarios.

of course you also need to play your deck perfectly to avoid missplays.

everything else is bullshit :)

Considering that the highest I ever got was rank 5, and hearthstone says I'm in the top 2%, and the climb only gets steeper, I'd say it's still worth a lot.

For me I think I just don't play enough. I mean I just played 51 ranked games to get to 5 from below 20 in wild with secret mage. Lucky me had an insane winrate.

It is only worth what you did for it. If you play Agro pirate warrior to legend big whoopdeedoo but if you took mill rogue to legend in standard today, and that was your first time, just wow, congrats you are amazing. The card back is generally just a sign that you have played hearthstone for a few months and don't have a lot of other things to do in your free time and you also have free time or it is your job to play hearthstone.

Regarding the original question:  I used the Legend card back for a little while, but then I realized everyone who had it was using it, so I switched to the "pie" card back.

i will never use it. and i think everyone who use this ugly thing has a small penis

50% of the player i queued up from rank 17 to rank 5 have legend cardback...

It means practically nothing now as there were so many Legends in EU Standard last Season everyone's got one - by comparison I went in at over 20K for April, where as last time I bothered getting Legend was in February where I entered Legend at 3300 (both were right at the end of the month so make a stark contrast).

So essentially its just another card back to add to the collection. I usually just swap to the latest card back I got, so I think I used the Legend one for about a week last November.

>of course you also need to play your deck perfectly

you certainly do not

source: legend last season, i do not play my decks perfectly

not true, i use it and my penis is enourmous.

The vast majority of Hearthstone players, even motivated ones, don't play 200-400 games in a month, which is how many it takes to get to Legend with a realistic win rate.  2-3 hours per day, every day, is a lot.  By average I mean average:  add up all the games played in a month and divide by the number of players who played them.

I remember looking up to Legend players, the card back really felt legendary!

Then I realized how much faster it is to get there with an aggro deck. It still required a lot of time and effort though.

Now that ranked floors are implemented, getting there has never been easier, which sadly lowers the value of the Legend title. Don't get me wrong, it's a welcome change as the higher ranks have a lot of experimental decks now.

Reaching Legend is still a nice achievement.. just a lesser one than what it once was.

We need something even more epic to strive for. Gib achievement system blizz plz

It's not too hard to get provided you have the cards and play a viable deck, I wish there were more rewards, maybe something for reaching high legend.

The main reason I could care less about legend is because it isn't a skill based thing. Once you can consistently hit around rank 10, you could hit Legend. The difference in skill does not go up that much from 10-Legend, only the difference in time. You have to grind and grind with decks that have a 60ish winrate over days to finally break Legend. It's about netdecking the most popular deck, knowing how to play that deck, maybe knowing how to tune it to the meta, and then playing it forever. That's the exact same process to get to 10, just longer. Some times I'll really like the deck I'm playing and play it to Legend, most times I won't.
