also i guarantee that bliz is way to stingy to give out a legendary card. by golden card they pry meant like how the arena gives out gold cards sometimes.
my proof is my 13 legendary cards. 5 of which were crafted.
Holy FUCK. A reason to actually play the ladder.. A chance to save me 1600 dust or 3200 dust on Golden Cards is what will light the fire under my ass and actually open this game up more.
Maybe the title was already changed, and if that's the case I retract my upcoming statements, but I see the title being "New Rewards for Laddering". If this is the title you're referring to, I don't find it misleading at all. Was it different upon the time of your post? :)

I wonder why they don't give packs. Only dust, cardback and golden cards. I like that they give golden cards but I'd much rather take a pack over 20-45 dust.
In general I feel like the reward is not good enough. Don't get me wrong I love ranked. I mostly only play ranked.. But this doesn't make me want to try harder at all. I mean the reward difference between 17 and 5 is too small. But it would be insanely awesome if they'd give 1 chest for each rank you have earned.. But then again if that was the case even more people would play the strongest decks so ladder would become worse.
In general- thanks but meh.

i think its too help people like me who are never lucky opening packs. if i could earn a golden epic or more every season it would really help heal the burn from my subpar RNG.

What ?
only 20-45 Dust ... no difference between 17 and 5 ?
1. You get cards not only the Dust. This is this great, if you dont have the card in non golden.
2. Rank 17 Example are 1 golden common and 20 Dust => total 60 dust
3. Rank 5 Example are 2 golden common and 1 epic golden and 5 dust => total 1685 Dust
So you can get a huge amount of dust at rank 5. 1680 is worth more than 30 Packs (42 if you dont get epics or legs)

1680 dust is not nearly as good as 30 packs, lol. Not even if you move math to your favor as much as you did:
You used full dust value for the golden cards you get but went for almost worst case when comparing them to packs, which simply doesnt make sense. For 1680 dust to equal 30 packs you have to be insanely unlucky with packs and also be lucky with the reward chest, since the reward chest has to give you 3 golden cards you actually want and are never going to disenchant.
If you do a fair comparison you end up with 500 dust for 1 golden epic and 2 golden commons which equals 12.5 worst case packs, which is way less than 30 packs and still very unlikely to happen since the worst case packs also have to consist of cards you already own.
I have no statistic on average dust/pack but I'd guess that its about 60-70 per pack, meaning that the Rank 5 rewards equal like 7-8 packs, which isn't nearly as many as you said. What also has to be paid attention to is that once again you are disenchanting everything you get out of those packs, if you get cards you didn't have yet the amount of packs to equal 500 dust obviously decreases.

Kinda late but I just want to point out that you got the disenchant values wrong. Golden commons disenchant for 50 dust and golden epics disenchant for 400.
So is there gonna be a reward sheet with possible rewards for each rank? I dont get that they announce this and then only give 2 ranks as an example. Are the rewards more past rank 5 ? Are the rewards on 16 the same as 17 or not , and if not where does the increase happen ?
I pretty sure all ranks will get a pack, not sure if the different legend players will get around the same or not. I would think that it should scale a little bit between each rank. So yes, I assume that rank 16 awards are better than 17's, but not by a major amount.
They used those two ranks so you could just see a clear comparison that rank 5 got a lot more items which are worth more in value overall than the rank 17's box.
There are no pack rewards, you might have mistaken the card back for a pack. The rewards are dust and golden cards exclusively.

Seems pretty good. Rank 5 has about 500 dust worth of reward already. Maybe there will be a golden legendary for people who reach legend?
Meta changes the moment you switch your deck.

Great idea! I usually get to rank 5 and then take a break from ladder. Always nice to have incentive to grind
The day of the Face Hunter is coming! Luckilly I have my Fiery War Axe ready! Come at me you b*stards!
Ending would make more sense.
Used to be a proud Handlock player.
Legend 17 times.
Still flirting with the ladder from times to times with Renolock.
Ending wouldn't make more sense. It would punish you for trying to get a better rank.

Honestly, so far, this is probably the best thing about the expansion.
Well said!

Dust is the best reward... Everything else becomes dust in the end...
