After reaching Legend, I discovered that you cant afford to play fun or off meta decks because if you fall down past r1000 or so, you will have a nightmare to get back.
I never want to bother wasting time getting to legend again. I stick to getting my rank 5 bonus each month.
Trust me. Legend is so not worth the hassle other than getting the cardback.
For real. You might think legend is when you can finally start having fun, but nope. Fall down past the barrier where you are dumpster 4 lyfe and all you'll see are rank 5s and 4s. Might as well stay down at rank 5 and get the same card reward and play against the same players and save yourself a ton of time and stress.
Seriously, Legend does NOT automatically mean you are good at the game. I have a few friends who have reached legend, I’m happy for them, but it’s not something I’ll strive for. The only time legend meant anything was pre-WotOG, when there weren’t nearly as many OP trash decks.
And the cardback? Lol! TOTALLY not worth it, plus there’s no such thing as bragging rights in this game outside of a deck consisting of all goldens. That’s my goal, to have one deck that I love be all golden. Something like Miracle Rogue that doesn’t really change a lot over time.
I agree 100% with your last comment. The cardback is hideous. It looks like it should be the cardback you start with when you start a new account. I'd rather use the s1-4 backs - not because they are better looking necessarily (although s2 and the cloud/rainbow one is pretty cool), but because they mean a lot more than whether you hit legend or not.
I did once years ago with dragon/tempo warrior just by getting a lucky long winstreak at the end, there wasn't much of a grind.
Last season I finally managed to get there again with the boring as hell odd rogue, and I probably never will again. I just wanted to prove I could still do it even if it meant playing a braindead deck where every game goes pretty much the same and what my opponent does doesn't particularly matter unless it's removing my whole board.
Aside from the requirement to play tier 1 decks that I don't like, the main thing keeping me from trying again is how legend ranks work, unless they change it soon. All it takes is a few losses and it's like you're permanently stuck in dumpster tier facing rank 4-3 people unless you put in several hours to slowly climb back to the point where you play against other legend players. Where's the fun of being in the legendary bracket if all you face is non-legend players?

are you implying some people may be lying about their constant legend status while being stuck at rank 20? I refuse to believe this.
