Hello.
I voted no because it is remarkably difficult to win 25 more games than you lose against reasonably competent competition.
But from a purely theoretical standpoint, the answer is yes. Assuming a player is actually trying (i.e., playing at at least a 40% winrate), they will inevitably stumble upon blind luck to win those last 25 games. The only limiting factor is time. Considering 10 games per hour, 16 hours a day, and a 31 day month, you have room for just under 5,000 games. Run the numbers for a full year, and I would think it's a surprisingly low win rate that would more or less guarantee at least one win streak to make legend.
Standard Legend - July '16 (Rank 56), June '17, Dec. '18, Apr. '19
Wild Legend - Mar. '18 (Rank 30), Apr. '18, Aug. '19
Twelve Arena Wins - Shaman, Warlock, Mage x2, Rogue, Priest (12-0), Druid, Hallow's End x2, Hunter, Taverns of Time x3 (Pa,D,WL), Paladin

Ain't nobody got time for that
I'm having a super hard time reaching legend this season. Went from rank 2 to rank 5 like two times already. Currently rank 3.
This is ridiculous - anyone that can pilot a deck at over 50% wins will reach legend with enough time spent getting the wins needed. This isn't some debate, it's math. I haven't reached legend yet because I only spend about 20 hours a month playing the game, and I'm fine with that. If you really want legend, put in the the time and grind it out.

Let's accept that Rank 20 players are much better than legend players. Kappa!

Yes.
You just need to pick a tier 1 deck that is consistence enough (50%+ winrate in this meta) , preferable self piloted (high skill floor) and to play enough games to get from rank 5 to legend.
Best picks for now are pirate warrior, quest rogue or one of the flood decks (druid\shaman), the characteristic you're looking for is highly polarized matches, you either crush your opponent that can't answer your early game or lose horribly because he can.
I do believe so. Those who work hard and learn their deck can make it to legend. I have made it to rank 7 from 20 just today.
No. Just from people I know that play the game, no, legend is not for everyone.
I think it's funny when someone says that you only need to pilot a deck at over 50% wins to grind out legend, yet there are always posts on every Hearthstone message board with players looking advice on how to reach legend. While it's true that you can boil it down to simple math, the fact is that not everyone can fit into that equation. Also lot of players simply get discouraged after losing games at high ranks. Doubt is a pretty big obstacle for these players.
Ready for action!
yes, just spend a lot of time to play and watch some good streams
@mayatola:
Totally agree. It takes a lot of time spent playing to get to legend even if one is fully consistent and has the 60%+ win rate of a pro. Playing more marginally just makes it that much more time-consuming, and the variance along the way (with accompanying rises and falls in rank) are enough to discourage many players who might otherwise be able to do so.
Everyone saying it is math, you are not exactly correct. If you simulate a 50% win rate, that gives you a range of possibilities that can get to Legend. The thing about win rates is that they fluctuate. If you have a 100% win rate to rank 5 and then never win a game after, you no longer have a 100% win rate!
The answer to this question is NO, not everyone is able to get to Legend. You have to be able to play the game. YES you can be a worse player and grind out a win to Legend after playing 2000 games, but for the most part, it is not going to happen.
No, not everyone can reach Legend. Only a very small percentage of the overall playerbase will ever reach Legend.
Reaching the 10-5 range puts you in the top 5% of the entire playerbase. Hitting 5-1 puts you in the top 2%. I know plenty of people who love this game and play all the time, but they have never hit the single digits. Maybe the just don't care enough to learn all of the matchups, or maybe they just don't have the right kind of mind to be great at a CCG. Whatever the case, no, everyone can not hit Legend.
@DiamondDM13; there are many reasons someone can miss lethal like Control did without it meaning they're a poor player, everyone makes mistakes. The fact is that ladder/streaming/tournaments all have their own different pressures and distractions, and in the case of the tournament Control was clearly pretty nervous and had later explained he was pretty tilted.
Spectating is easy, low-pressure, and people tend to forget that you're looking at board state/hand context with nearly perfect information. I'd hesitate before getting on a high-horse about it. I'd also suggest you check out other content Control has made for trying wondering how he even got Legend in the first place, because it's pretty clear in his element (Wild Ladder) he's an extremely solid player.

The answer is qualified per se. Its YES.... provided you use a fuckhead cancer deck like Pirate Warrior, Jade Druid, or whatever other overpowererd shit you can find. The answer is probably NO if you like to play your own decks or decks that are not considered cancerous garbage. Its really that simple.
I win due to skill and lose due to bad RNG. :D
