Why do people keep saying it's easier to get legend now? I used to reach legend with old system, already made it with new one and I wouldn't say it's any easier. Yes, maybe you need a bit less of stars now, but winrates dispersion is so 50/50 now, sometimes you can play a ton of matches in D5-D1 range and get nowhere. Gone are the glorious days when you could just pick some broken deck like Secret Paladin or Trogg Shaman and breeze from rank15 to legend with stable 75% winrate, now it's all about getting that pesky 51%.

 Because it takes tons of games less. It's way less grindy. 
The games itself are the same as before.

 Average winrate for best decks is MUCH lower than it was 2-3 years ago, it's definitely not "The games itself are the same as before".

 On release, DH had the best wr ever of any deck according to Blizzard's data. 

Guys stars are probably calculated based on mmr brackets, like if your top ~10% of mmr you get 11 stars and so on. Each season mmr is recalculated so you might lose stars or might not lose stars (can even gain stars, probably). I lost one star on NA server where I didn't play ranked entire last month. It's not that hard to understand -_-
