Because your statistic is not relevant. There is no limit to the number of games you can play in your attempt to reach legend, so it does not matter how long it takes. Two players of differing skill levels (or playing different speeds of decks) may take different amounts of time to get there, but they will both get there. So, back to my original point, reaching legend (which is a binary state, not a time-based spectrum) is not a good indicator of skill and never was.

Go back and read my first post to remind yourself what you're actually arguing against.

 Well, if you have nothing else to do, maybe it does not matter how long it takes. Most people though have a life. So no, you are wrong.

You can hit legend even with off-meta deck (this and previous season I managed to hit legend with Soulstealer Demonlock in standard), so I would not say it's very difficult. Still you need to know meta very well, know your deck very well, know when you should play for value, when for tempo, what risk you need to take. And also accept that sometimes your opponent will be very lucky and you will be unable to do anything (sometimes several games in a row).

So if you cannot hit legend you need to learn how to play better, play more or change deck.
