Legend is only easy to hit if you devote a lot of time to the game. With the way the bonus star system works you have to play a lot every month or your bonus stars disappear. I found that out the hard way
Easy is relative, but I don't know that you necessarily have to devote a lot of time to hit it with relative ease. Initially sure, you have to learn how to play and get good with whatever archetype you've chosen to focus on, but once you are good enough and dedicate enough time to hit high legend and you do things become significantly easier. This is primarily bc of the 11 star bonus, which just makes the grind so much less difficult after you hit Diamond 5. So far as I understand it this is not affected by how many games you play each month, or at least this hasn't been the case for me. If you play a relatively small number of games to high legend with a good WR and barely play for the rest of the month, you're still getting that 11 star bonus so long as you remain in the higher ranks (and sometimes even if you don't if your overall mmr is high enough). With that said I definitely am not attempting to trivialize the process of getting good enough or putting in the time/effort to reach this point. I just don't think that attaining legend is nearly as difficult once you have the 11 star bonus. Granted I'm referring to a pretty small proportion of the player base, but I still think it's worth pointing out that legend can be much easier to hit than it was in the old days.
As I recall the 11 star bonus is purely for… top 1000 legend? Correct me if I’m wrong here. When the new ranking system came out I started with 8 bonus stars. I never really devoted the time under the old system, I think rank 3 was as high as I ever got. I was exited for the new system, but the meta was just so damn boring for me so I couldn’t focus, playing just wasn’t fun. Fast forward to last month I found myself down to 4 bonus stars. I found a deck I really enjoy right now so I’ve climbed up a bit, as it stands right now I should have 6 stars at the end of the month but I’m hoping to get back up to Diamond 10 and get back to 8 stars. So while you’re right it’s not so bad with 11 bonus stars, getting to that point is quite a bit of work and effort and possibly a multi month endeavor depending on your play time.
