I ended up around legend 777 in EU Wild and also got x11 stars. I had overall winrate between 65% - 70% (I was only playing Razakus priest whole season). I played only around 70 games.
Its all over the place. Last month in wild got to 2800 rank and got 11 stars. My win rate was way worse cause i needed like 40 games from rank 5 to legend. This month having more experience with the deck i only needed around the same 40 games from bronze to legend finishing up at 1800.

Got 10 stars because logic.
I believe the explaination is that the 11 stars is for the MMR equivalent to the top 10% of legend players. Getting 11 stars from getting rank 2800 seems off to me, as I really doubt there are 28k Wild legend players. Do you have a screenshot of this? Did you have a peak which was higher than that?
If less people reach legend, which would make sense as you do not get that free legendary anymore, less people get 11 stars.
I am not aware if they changed the way this is calculated. Simply giving 11 stars to the top 1000 players and NOT awarding them unless you actually grind to legend would be a lot less confusing.

MMR isn't directly related to rank, Someone who doesn't play alot but consistently wins 70% of the time has an extremely high MMR.
Thoughts from a Wild exclusive player: My 2nd month of 11 stars in a row. Played a low number of games. Solid winrate but nothing too spectacular. Finished pretty low legend due to only playing 5-10 games in Legend rank. I think being placed in the highest MMR / rank bracket and maintaining a solid winrate allowed me to receive the 11 star bonus again this month.
I don't really get super high ranking finishes in Legend. I don't play that much. However, I'm a consistent 60%+ winrate player and have been for years. I don't throw this number around lightly. It's probably around 65%.
I strongly feel they look at MMR first, THEN ranking. Because it makes sense that how well you do in your division (MMR) determines whether you belong there or not. The ultimate goal is to match players with opponents that are "worthy opponents". Hidden MMR calculated over months / years of gameplay (taking improvement into account) is a better measure of skill than how well you did last month in terms of rank at end of season. That being said, it looks like Blizz likes to give players the benefit of the doubt if they have a great month. They may place you in a higher MMR bracket, giving you a chance to prove you are worthy to hang with the big boys.
It also means that it's unlikely for a high MMR player to face someone below their MMR (skill lvl) due to qeueing against other 11 star players until they reach Legend and then it levels out.
Not trying to sound elitist or braggy. I'm not a great player by any means. I play broken decks and some Wild cards carry like crazy. I'm a good pilot but I only fly top of the line fighter jets.
if you get the 11 star bonus once do you keep it? like you get the bonus to get to legend no matter how bad you finish in subsequent seasons?
You lose it once your MMR is not high enough anymore. I guess you keep it if you don't play any games, but what do you need 11 stars for then?
I only got 11 stars once, but got to legend afterwards.
Legend rank is a reflection of your MMR, but as I mentioned, it is possible to get 11 stars without hitting legend if your MMR is high enough.
Makes sense, thanks a lot Well 11 Star Bonus every month would be nice to get the extra pack going from Dia 5 to legend, since without star bonus or winning streak the grind is real with this one

I only finished in the top 4000 on EU last month, but I did get 11 star for that finish!
