I like it personally. Played like 6 - 7 games and shot up from Bronze 10 to Gold 5 very quickly. Love the fact that I have a few packs hidden away in my treasure chest for May 1st.
One question about the reward system - it gives you rewards based on the first time you reached a level (ie a classic pack for the 5th rank in each tier). I hit legend for the first time about a year ago, does that mean I will not receive the random classic legendary if I hit legend this month?
You'll still get first time rewards for each rank floor you hit, so yes you'll still get the legendary. The rewards are for the first time you achieve the rank in the new system, not the first time ever.
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.
What lessthan3 said. I'm guessing you got some pretty lucky winstreaks to get there that fast, but for anyone with less than the 11 times multiplier it's going to be significantly more difficult for them to achieve legend than you did, relatively speaking.
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.
So the winstreaks stop at diamond 10 or diamond 5? Is diamond 10 equal to rank 10 or rank 5? Anyone know?
it's equal to rank 5.
rank 10 is plantinum 10
rank 15 is gold 10
rank 20 is silver 10
and rank 25 is bronze 10
So what equivalent do the 5's have, for example platinum 5 would be rank 7 or 8, diamond 5 would be rank 2 or 3? Also when do the bonus stars/winstreaks stop at? Some say diamond 10, others say diamond 5.
Looks that way. I have to say, I've read the whole blog post and I'm still somewhat confused about how the system works. Is everyone reset to bronze 10 at the start of each month, and then the rate at which you progress from there is streamlined depending on which rank you ended on last season? How exactly do win streaks work? Are the rewards for each rank cumulative, or do you only receive rewards for the rank you end up in at the end of the season? How do you reconcile matchmaking matching you with someone of similar mmr if they're not the same rank you are?
This all seems unnecessarily complicated to me.
