you might be right, i need another month to retry lol. i still have a x2 bonus in legend, showing over the legend rank, weird.

 You were high legend then?  What was your legend rank?

You're going to get a multiplier until you return to the rank you finished the previous season in - regardless of what that was.  It's just a little difficult to decipher what that is with the change over - it'll be clear next month.

 I finished top 200 in march, i am not a tryharder

If you are a common legend grinder, or even rank 5 grinder which gives a "x9" star boost at this point, the climb back up to rank 10 (now known as diamond) is fairly trivial.  I'm back up to gold 1 with only 6 or 7 wins, and if patterns follow, platinum won't be much slower.

 

I enjoy the idea of starting everyone off at the same starting line each season, but I suppose the advantages given to high finishing players were necessary.  Having to slog through 50 ranks one star at a time might be a little much to ask for folks who want to compete for high legend and such.

 

In any case, I've been away from the game for a few months, but with the announcement that the HCT will be online-only for the near future, AND invites going to the top 16 ladder finishers, you will see me ruthlessly grinding this month.  I miss the tournament days of Magic: the Gathering, and decided this is the year.

 

Hope all are well and healthy.

 This is cool and I wish you gl, but I think you'll find that the climb gets a lot slower as you progress. I'm currently plat 8 and my star bonus has already been reduced to 4 from the 10 I started with. It took me about 30 minutes to get here, but I anticipate possibly another few days for high diamond given how quickly the star bonus seems to go away as you get higher.

 it took me less than 30 wins to get back to legend, the winstreak does the job. started at 11 bonus since i was legend last month. I am sure it was less than 30 wins since i was still earning gold for winning earlier today lol. I think legend is just a formality, i am far from cnsidering myself amount the best, even very good ones, and it took less than 3 hours on day 1...

lost 3 games in a row at rank 5 diamond, then it went back up

2h40 minutes, easy climb

• - Win streak bonus is available until Diamond 5.

 source for this please, I haven't seen anyone from Blizzard mention this anywhere

someone please quote/reply once somebody has _official_ confirmation, where the (old) winstreak bonus ends: D10/D5/never. (i dont mean the new bonus stars i mean the old "after 3 wins in a row you get double amount of stars")

basically i want to know if the old "to reach legend from r5 0 you have to win 25 games more than you loose" now translates to: "you have to win 30 more than you loose" or "you have to win 15 more than you loose" or "it's depending on your winstreak, even in the last ranks before legend"

 I confirm that, on my winstreak, i didn't not get x2 stars after 5
