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".

 It is definetly as before they system went live. Comparing the game itself (not even the new system) with 2-3 years ago is like comparing apples and peaches. 

Back then there were Rock/Paper/Scissors Matchups. Way more than there is today, also simply because of less RNG cards.

But Blizzard clearly stated, if you do not play a season you do not lose what you gained before, aka 1 star would have been alright.
I did not play beside four games in standard and lost FOUR.

[...]

Not too hard to understand, right?

Well, you don't play, you don't loose stars.

You play (crappy and a few games only), you loose stars.

Not so hard to understand, right?

And although you finished pretty low, you still got to keep most of your stars.

But of course, it's all Blizzards fault. They should give away stars (and everything) for free, those money-hugging double-crossing liars!

 At first, I did definetly not play crappy. 
And it seems to hard for guys like you that Blizzard stated something different and even if they mean something like you stated (play nothing, lose nothing, play some, lose a lot) would be beyond stupid.

And you know why? I play against Plat 5 players now, as my MMR got down to that. 
Haven't seen so much trash before. I am actually faster as I keep my winning streak so far :D

I am not even mad I got downranked in the MMR so far. It makes more fun seeing heavy misplays from garbage players.

I would close the thread now because I don't care anymore, yet Blizz lied or said something stupid again and you still lick their balls :)

Well, I'm happy for you then. Good to hear that despite you not being able to understand basic logic, there are still players worse than you. Enjoy it while you can, and please find the salt thread the next time someone "lies" to you...

 Ah yeh, not understanding basic logic, I see.

It is very hard to understand it, absolutely. For Freedom People maybe.

Your called concept is just beyond stupid and not hard to understand.

"You played zero games? Okay, everything cool. OH WAIT YOU PLAYED ONE GAME GET PUNISHED YOU LIL MOTHERFUCKER."
Not at all something logical, but hey, internet hero says something different.
How is your fedora today? 

And btw, the system is completely unfair for these players I play against now. They are Platinum garbage und meet someone who played multiple high legends. For me great, for them completely fucked up and it just showed how stupid the system is. But hey, you are an internet hero, so whatever.

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 -_- 

 My goodness, you and a lot others do not understand the real problem.

Of course you might lose stars over time, 1 would definetly not be a problem at all.

But Blizzard clearly stated, if you do not play a season you do not lose what you gained before, aka 1 star would have been alright. 
I did not play beside four games in standard and lost FOUR. 

So either Blizzard made a wrong statement once again or you are punished hard if you play a handful of games instead of not playing at all.
BUT this does not fit the result in star loss for both modes for me either. In Wild I lost with two games played one star, everything is fine, probably working as intended.

And beside that in the first season of the new system I climbed to Diamond 5 easily with a high winrate. I did not play the second season. I started the new system with Legend MMR of 10 stars because multiple Legends, some of these pretty high.

Not too hard to understand, right?

Quote from SilverBlooD >>

I was in top 500 legend in wild and i got 11 stars.

If you are lower legend rank or rank between legend and diamond 5, you will get 10 stars.

For every 5 ranks lower, you will gain 1 less star.

 Wrong, at least at what Blizz said. 
11 stars for the top percent of players, does not include 500, could be more or less.
Below that your MMR shall count, means your winrate etc. Not the rank you achieved.

Not too hard to understand at all, or too hard for freedom ppl?

Quote from CallmeChilli >>

Why should your rank bonus not decay over time. What's the point then in continuing to play each season if you're guaranteed high bonuses each month for hitting high diamond/ legend once. 

 Because read the quotes from blizzard. It's alright that it decays, yet they said something again that is simply not true.

Quote from RAGEdarky >>

So you would play 7 games last month instead of 6 games if only you knew about this?

 The irony is not nessecary. WIth some win streaks it is extremely fast to climb with the legend MMR. I would have had no problem to climb some more at least. But Blizzard stated it's a non punishing system if you don't play a season and that's just false information. 

Q: If I missed one season, will I lose my star bonuses when I return?

A: No, you won’t.

Q: Will the value of my previous season’s MMR be exactly same as the new season?

A: Technically no, although the change will be very small and the “value order” will be kept (Player A whose MMR is larger than player B in the last season will still be ordered as such). Mathematically, a re-normalization process takes place at the start of each season to keep the distribution in a nice bell-shaped curve.

Quotes from the QA before the first season of it. Another blatant lie.

I made 4 games in standard last season, 2 in WIld for 5 wins. 

In Wild I still have my 8 Bonus stars, Diamond 10. It's fine, everything ok.
In Standard I dropped from 10 (Legend) to 6 Bonus stars (Plat 10).



So in the end you will lose bonus stars pretty fast if you don't play. Vice versa it means I will play even less because I won't play much to get to higher ranks because there are simply better games out there to waste my time on.

The worst thing about that is another false information from Blizzard, because I could have played more last season easily, now I am heavily punished. Of course I play against worse players now and might get more win streaks, but that's not for sure in this game if it wants you to lose.
