I'm curious to know what the percentage of hearthstone players reach legend in both formats in one month? Do blizzard show that information the same way they show the top 100 legend players? I feel like it is a very small amount
Here’s the hearthstone gamepedia with pretty everything to know about ranked, they have an image under “ranked percentages” and only .5% of players are in legend
The last time I bothered to get to legend, there were a few thousand on the NA servers in standard and something like 700-800 in wild. This is from probably like two years ago, though. No idea on both; most people I think just play one or the other the majority of the time. I doubt most people have time to do both, anyway.
So does that mean the amount of players who reach both legend in wild and standard in one month is 0.5*0.5=0.25?
Math-101: 0.5%*0.5% = 0.005*0.005 = 0.000025
=0.0025%
However, I don't think multiplying both events' probabilities is correct, since winning with standard and winning with wild decks are correlated events. But we can say that the probability is greater than this result above.
I did it for the first time last month. It was actually the first time I played ranked Wild. It’s too time consuming though... probably won’t try to do it again.
I did last month for the achievement. Bronze 10 to legend in two days. Much faster and easier than in standard, where I am legend every month. Climbing was kind of the same on ladder rank. Finished top 1500 Both modes on eu.
I reached legend in wild on EU Server on 31.12.2020 . I started at 6036 .
That you reached legend late does not mean you are the bottom ranked player. That "honor" probably belongs to someone reaching legend fairly quickly and then meming around with a low winrate afterwards
The data they used in that article was from 2014 so wild wasn’t around then
Yeah I think it’s way higher now. Since the new tier system in ranked it has become woefully easy to reach legend.
Is it really that much easier? Quicker, sure but I'd think most people who struggle with getting to legend struggle with the Diamond 5-1 ranks because of the loss of bonus stars, which mean you have to be far more consistent to get through those 5 ranks and it's much more punishing to have a losing streak.
The old system had this same 5 ranks before legend so surely whilst it's easier and quicker to hit D5, the final 'slog' hasn't actually changed? Or were there more ranks without the bonus stars for win streaks before? I can't really remember.
But yeah, if people are stuck in platinum in the current format, I dont imagine they were getting legend before and for anyone getting legend consistently now, they perhaps simply benefit from a lesser grind to get to D5 but the skill in getting to legend is mainly those last 5 ranks and there will be plenty of people who just can't get past that run of wins you need when you don't have bonus win streak stars.
I see people claiming the old system was harder etc etc but I honestly think they say this to make themselves feel special because they did it 'before' the change. More people get legend now but they are likely made up of a good amount of people who just didn't have time before. Thus, it's not 'easier' to get legend, it's quicker and so the 'club' is no longer mainly reached by people without jobs/partners anymore.

Hi everyone,

about 10000 per realm in standard, no idea about wild though

In NA wild Legend has anywhere between 2-3k people by the end of each month.

Never answer your question.

way too many
Dead but dreaming

In EU I've seen people as low as 5000 legend in wild and 35000 legend in standard

This seems pretty accurate at the end of the season.
I am not sure about the playerbases these days, though, but after the ladder revamp, I assume the number of legend players increased a lot.

I reached legend in wild on EU Server on 31.12.2020 . I started at 6036 .
I reach both legends few moths ago, anyway not that challenging like reaching legend before ranked ladder rework.
I've easily taken both legends for several seasons in a row - finishing with 11 stars doesn't require much skill and a huge collection.
