I already sent my advice to blizzard 3 months ago.
I think that they should add a few more levels to the game (rank 30 to legend instead of 25 to legend as it is now)
Maybe they should consider adding the amount of stars(wins) needed to pass from one rank to the other (above rank 5 for example it could be 6 stars needed instead of 5).
BUT! The most important is that win streak must stay the same after level 5. there is no point of having a bonus star for a win streak below rank 5 and it stopped after rank 5. Blizzard - you can increase the amount of stars needed BUT! Keep win streak bonus after level 5 as well.
The whole ranked system in Hearthstone is bad. They should adapt ladder mechanic from Elder Scrolls: Legends. Or make something better, because current system has too many flaws.
The ladder in HS nowadays starts at Rank 5 and ends at Legend. What a joke. (Yes, it starts at Rank 5 because everyone can go to Rank 5 even with 40% winrate; and now it will even take less games)
The ranking system seems pretty good to me. Any particular reason we should keep win streaks past rank 5 or add 5 more ranks? Seems totally arbitrary and unnecessary to me.
My only issue with the ladder is the reset is way too often, it artifically restrain the rank of players who do not have the ability to run an ungodly amount of games and then start again every month.
If you"re a good player without enough time, you"re sOL you'll never do anything in Hearthstone. A proper rating would have to be the exact same number of games for everyone. Djokovic didn't get to number 1 because he could play twice as many matches/tournaments as whoever is number 2 at the moment.
Having bonus stars for Win streaks allows for people with 50% win rates to get to legend. Every so often you'll get an undeserved extra star at 50% win rate. Having no bonus stars under rank 5 ensures that the only people getting in to legend are those that have a higher than 50% win rate.
this just the casual games with a lot of rng . sometime win and loses just decided by class. freeze mage vs control warrior etc.
if you make ladder too hard like mmr , bronze , silver etc. you can still climb by maintains 50+ win rate . but the grinding time will increase too much. you have to beat the opponent by skill, luck, match up etc.

Makes sense to me.
I definitely agree. There has been a big push lately to make the legend climb much easier and that is very worry-some for the future of ranked play. If everyone can do it easily then there really is no point.

The real ladder starts ones you hit legend.
That's why i want bonus stars enabled up to the legend level so it'll be faster to hit legend.

Real ladder starts at Rank 5 where there is no streak, you are literally climbing.
2-win streak is good so casual players can go higher and get the puny rewards at the month end
You can technically go up with any win rate, just lose x number of games at the beginning of the season and then win.
Its a bug, the 2-game winstreak.
-let´s negotiate: you concede and I let you live...
this just the casual games with a lot of rng . sometime win and loses just decided by class. freeze mage vs control warrior etc.
if you make ladder too hard like mmr , bronze , silver etc. you can still climb by maintains 50+ win rate . but the grinding time will increase too much. you have to beat the opponent by skill, luck, match up etc.
Is this 2-game win streak still exist?
