I don't know, I played dumb dragon paladin and ramp druid decks to rank 5 faster than I usually do this month. I think it's a bit easier since the nerfs happened.
I usually get to rank 5 without any problems, but this season I can't even get past 15/16 and it really looks for me too, like there's no difference between those lower and higher ranks.
Exactly, i reached rank 5 last season a week before the end of september, but now its 10. october and im stuck at rank 10
Im playing midrange hunter,shaman and tempo mage but none of these decks seem to work very well this season.
Last season i reached "easily "rank 5. Don't know why i cant get out from rank 13 actually.
Not sure, but you should know that the start of the season is more difficult at the lower ranks then the end of the season... This is because at the start of the season everyone drops ranks based on their last rank. It tends to get much easier by the 20th as people start their runs towards whatever their "top" is.
low rank 10-20 is more hard. u will random meet insane lucky gimmick deck player. otk priest, taunt warrior, random reno deck etc. they just drop on curve and execute the gimmick combo or out value you by putting 20 legendary in control warrior etc. they stay low rank for reason because the deck very inconsistent and heavy depend on good draw. i feel very sick when play again them .
after rank 10 , you will meet popular meta deck. you can counter meta using certain deck.
I think they have gotten a little more difficult. I used to be a solid rank 10 up to two season ago, and then last season everyone suddenly started to use strong meta decks and a lot less of the typical malchezaar or mill mage cheese. Perhaps it is a meta shift since I've been playing the same deck since whispers of the old gods, but the last two seasons the meta didn't really shift that hard.....
Not, it's easy as it always was. And how is it 'mid ranks'? Mid ranks are 5-1, 20-5 is low ranks.
Not to comment on the difficulty of the ranks since I personally never play enough to climb very high (or at least haven't in the past year), but...
In a ranking system which has 25 ranks, how do you get 5-1 as the "mid" ranks? Those are top 20% ranks...would that not perfectly fit the definition of "high" ranks, while 25-21 are on the other end of the spectrum at the bottom 20%? This leaves (surprise) the ranks 20-6 as the "mid" ranks.

I call them 'mid' by skill level not by quantity of players.
At the beginning of the season it was a lot easier than usual because everyone was screwing around with the new Priest hero. Now everyone is back to Cancer Shaman, Hunter, and Zoo is back with a vengeance due to the nerfs. Though Cancer Shaman is still top dog unfortunately. Can't wait for it's early game to die.
The big difference is that up till 10 people are doing a lot of misplays and just play brainless. Rushing through to rank 10 in no time. Then from 10 to 5 the fun starts and people start to curve insanely good, and netdeck. Still I manage somehow to win. Won't talk about rank 5-legend as this one is the biggest joke lol. I guess Hurtstone needs like more than just one EU server. Like we certainly have to build a second server I guess and the "newbies" play on the second server to have a chance to play in ladder and here they can switch if they want. First server of course would be the main server.

Sorry mr pro we all know that anything below legend is easy for you, but by what logic is rank 1 for example mid rank?
As I already answered, it's mid rank by expected skill level of players you will play at that rank. Ranks 20-5 are full of casual players, so you can't seriously say they are players of mid skill.

I think he's partially right, because ranks 20-5 have both very good players and try hards who might not even have above 50% wins but can still make it to rank 5 because of the win streak system. So on one game you might play someone very efficient and good, but that doesn't play that often, then next matchup you could meet a total try hard that barely has enough skill to get to rank 5. Frankly it's a flaw in the ranking system and something I don't like about hearthstone that in order to get to rank 5 you just have to play enough.

But it also speaks to another thread that is going on right now as to when Arena or in this case "ranked" is easier. Like arena ranked is also easier at certain times a day because of this try hard system of ranking up until rank 5. If you play during the times a day when there are less players, more of them will be tryhards and generally you will have an easier ranking time.
I think October is playing out oddly- Usually by this time, it's a little easier to climb ranks. I'm still running into fairly strong/meta decks at 18-20 so it's been a bit slow this month for me. Usually I cruise to the 12-13 area before things slow down and I stop grinding.

It feels like the mid ranks are harder now than ever before. like there is really about zero difference between a rank 20 and rank 5 player.
Does it feel that way to you?
And if so, I'm wondering if there couldn't be some other ranking system that condenses those ranks into one lump?

Yes if youre in EU lul
It always feels the same for me too, there are of course a difference in skill but it's also the month first 2 weeks it's always like this
It's because not everyone rush to climb exactly when the season resets.
So now you are facing some people meant to be around rank 15 but also legend players.
It's probably because of your ELO and it's kind of the start of a new season. Besides, it will get easier later in the season.

Rip *facepalm* Thanks for the notice, mate.
Does it only count in casual, arena, and tavern brawl?
