After playing this game for over 5 years I finally hit legend. I have only REALLY (meaning as in full tryhard mode) tried hitting legend twice. The time before this was back in Boomsday or Rastakhan using Mechathun lock but I only got to rank 3 five stars with it. So that was my highest rank for ages until this month where I hit diamond 2, then 1 and now legend. At the start I used a deck tracker but then when I started to play more on my phone (which is a screenshot from my phone also) so no deck trackers. I have the mobile deck tracker version but I just didn't like to use.
The best part about all of this is that I did it with a control deck. I always wanted to hit legend with control as it's the archetype I enjoy the most. I used Galakrond Priest no resurrect stuff or Elysiana which some decks run. Whats kind of interesting that I didn't think I could do it at all. Had to craft like 3 or 4 legendaries to make the deck and was sure it would go as it always had gone. I have tried aggro a couple times but even tho you get more games in I couldn't do it with them. The best run I have had with an aggro deck was with token druid at the end of last year where I went from rank 15 all the way to almost rank 4 with no losses but then I hit a brick wall due to the more skilled players and better deck quality.
If the Mage who I faced as my final boss sees this I gotta say thank you for the most epic final boss battle I have ever played. I legit wish I had recorded that game it was insane.
Maybe now my ladder saltiness will go away and I can play without getting tilted as I don't have the focus on getting to legend anymore. I always wanted to do it only once and then never do it again. It was annoying how even when I didn't aim for legend I still had the legend thought at the back of my mind. Now I can do what I enjoy the most and that is playing memeish decks and arena.
I also hit legend for first time this month and i am in a similar situation. Agro decks are quicker (i have played some games with dragon hunter) but I also prefer control-midrange decks. I loss 3 match balls (I was a bit salty when that happened) but finally I get to legend with a homebrew variation of highlander rogue.
It's true that now you need less games, but it is pleaseant when you reach legend afterall.
Congrats! I hope you’re right about your ladder anxiety going away, but for me, that was not the case :P I just replaced the goal for legend with a new goal.... First it was just hitting legend, then it was hitting legend with every class, my most recent was hitting legend in both standard and wild, which I did this season.... there’s always a new goal ;)
I also hit Legend for the first time with Priest. This is a good meta for Priest because there are a lot of hunters and demons hunters, and Priest has a lot of cheap aoe removals and heals.
So you didn't really get better since old rank 3 and 5 stars was the equivalent of rank 2 and 0 star anyway.
So think about it before you think it's some kind of great accomplishment.
Aren’t you just so awesome, wow! Hopefully your golden collection translates to a lot of friends in the real world, because your personality sure doesn’t.

Well I only really cared about the card back and free legendary was a plus. If hitting legend gave nothing I wouldn't do it and thats why I'm not gonna do it again cause it gives you nothing but some extra rewards at the end of month you can get normally. And for the info I did in fact get better skill wise and I realised it when I was beating unfavored matchups which are rogue and hunter and those are quite frequent on ladder. But in the end tho legend means very little cause it is just all about the grind unless you get lucky with the rng constantly.
But man, people don't like how others complain how insert deck is broken but positive posts are also disliked? Lmao you do you man
Edit: Saw one of your earlier comments and seems like you quite hate priest. I hate ress priest or any sort of inner fire stuff but a legit control priest is cool

Thank you for the kind words friends!

Well Done! I hit legend when i was sick for three weeks. Time and skills is crucial so again: happy for you cuz I do remember the happy feeling!
Congrats, man!
Hitting legend with a control deck first time is really annoying but feels satisfying when you do.
Gratz!
I also hit legend for first time this month and i am in a similar situation. Agro decks are quicker (i have played some games with dragon hunter) but I also prefer control-midrange decks.

I've been playing since beta and I only got it last month with a Mecha'thun warlock before it got nerfed.
Your legend rank is the equivalent of old rank 2.

congratz dude!
i hope one day to achieve the same thing
Well aren’t you a ray of sunshine.
Where did you even pull that comparison from?
I think I found OPs final boss Mage!
I also hit Legend for the first time with Priest.
This is a good meta for Priest because there are a lot of hunters and demons hunters, and Priest has a lot of cheap aoe removals and heals.

Great job on hitting legend, OP!
Awesome, well played!

Well done!!!! I’d love to see the replay - too bad you didn’t record it but hey, next time!
If there was an accomplishment for arrogance you would have no competition straight to Legend #1
