So, the new Ranked system hit the game. People were expecting changes.
Of course there are changes. But not in the player experience.
So, after not playing standard ranked for two season I am still only rank 18 after a handful games. There is practically no difference between rank 20 and legend. You see the same decks, rarely a newbie deck. Of course it is extremely unhealthy for this game. Even though those players are playing wose, because they are low rank because they suck or they just haven't played, like me.
I am able to adapt my tactics and beat those bad players. The experience for other players is destroying as I experienced from friends.
Do you have a solution in mind how to fix this?
This is something that accured since standard was put into the game. I celebrated it first but I think it is the worst that could happen to the game right now. But removing standard won't change a damn thing now.
Maybe it would be less frustrating to those if there were more safety steps while laddering, maybe for each rank? Would it make a big difference? No one really loses multiple ranks while ranking. I don't think something like this would be bad for the game, as the direction is clear as fuck the devs take -> Casual.

Don’t take this the wrong way but this was my mentality a few months ago. Realize you must be making misplays. Think about what you could do differently after each game. And then you will climb ranks.
When you lose blame yourself, not your opponent
Are you relying that to me? I just noticed this because I don't play ranked anymore. I just did some games so far again and of course are still low rank, but see my avatar screenshot, I am more than experienced I would say :P
But still, I just lost another game, a mirror match, against someone who clearly had no clue. But he still had the better RNG and went first (it's exactly this point that decided the game). But as you see, even heavy experienced players like me can lose this games. This is something that never happened some expansions ago, I remember plowing through rank 18 until up to rank 7 when I had my first loss after I haven't played a season and dropped pretty low.
