If you are facing a lot of priest you should play gala rogue its the best against them. Thata the only real tip anyone can give you .. play counter decks to decks that you are facing and eventually you will hit legend

 I'm not a big fan of that. Since you can always run into different decks altogether after switching. 

So I mostly stick to one deck and try and maximize my potential with it. Like how to beat difficult decks at least often enough to still keep going

Same i can now see my opponents rank since I reached legend.

 then legend players can concede for normal players and get them in legend?

 I sometimes do something like it. When I see a player being rank 1 be it diamond or platinum or rank 6.

I'll fight it out and if I would win I instead concede.

I won't make it before expansion release, but I guess if you can build dragon hunter give it a shot now. 

It won't lose any cards upon rotation anyway so I suppose even if you meet some demon hunter decks you should have an easy time since they won't be refined after just a few hours of release

 It looks like the new rank system has 30 levels (gold, platinum, diamond) to get to legend, this is 90 stars and 6 level floors.

The old system has 20 levels which has around 90 stars and 4 level floors.

From these 2 numbers, I see 3 things ----

first, this means the players need to fight similar number of stars which is as good as before. :P~~~

second, players are slotted into 7 bins instead of 5 bins. So each bins will have fewer players theoretically, this can be easier in terms of competition. Moreover, there are 2 more fail-saving level floors to prevent you from falling back, also meaning easier. The most important thing is, we will have more top level players playing meme or fun decks instead of the i-want-legendary decks, high-diamond level will have easier time leveling up  :P~~~

having said that, currently there should be many players in the gold and platinum bins who play less often, so this is the slowest part to level up at the moment. After all the players get back to their best-level, the diamond bins will be a bit harder to play than now, since level-floors sleeve the bests players away from golden and platinum. :P~~~

For the Xth time, the matchmaking is MMR based, so what rank you are does not matter for who you are matched with.

More ranked floors, way less climbing to do without winstreak bonus stars and players getting multipliers all the way up to high legend makes the new system a LOT easier.

these days the matchmaking really does not show the oppo's rank... but I guess it may be similar to the old system, such that oppo is +- 1 rank around you ? :P~~~

No, it is not. It has been explained by blizzard several times. The Ranked based matchmaking starts only when you are out of multiplier stars (which happens when you are at the level where you finished last month.) 

If a player has top legend MMR but waits a week and then starts playing, he can be matched with legend players in bronze 10.

They don't show ranks anymore because it would be confusing and players would complain they are getting unfair matchups.

 But ever since I got legend I see the rank of my opponent. Wondered whether they changed something

I went to legend with dragon hunter this time.

Was super easy, around 40 games from 5 to legend I suppose. Currently I'm busy but might be available in the evening if you would like someone to comment on your decisions. 

Now I even got a few platinum 1 guys. And not one fellow legend player so far. Which kinda sucks since I lose more ranks upon loss than I gain when I win

I reached legend yesterday and now I'm sitting on rank 4350. So far all the games I played where against diamond 10 players. Which is kinda weird in my opinion.

Could it be that the game gave me a very low mmr to start with and didn't really update it? 

I have been absent for a few months came back when I heard about the changes. Went to rank 14 in the last few days of march and started out with a 6 stars multiplier.

OK 5 days to legend..love it

Btw can you get infos about your mmr trough your legend rating? 

I just went from rank 1 to legend and are placed 4060. 

I mostly played yesterday in the evening for like 4 hours till I was gold 1 and today I went from there to diamond 8 in another 4 hours had a few good winstreaks in between and not many loses today.

Dunno why but getting from gold to platinum was the hardest part lol.

I remember the last time I did it it was a horrible grind haven't done it ever since. 

But with the new system I'm already diamond 8 so I probably hit 5 tomorrow. 

Since it is only 15 games from there it should be way easier than ever to get there. 

Anyone else thinking the same?

Started with 6 star multiplier. Still felt way easier to climb then before

And now when I was about to remove two cards it bugged out horrible and deleted all cards from the deck instead.

Gosh hs is drunk it seems

Ok I figured it out..

I have 32 cards in my deck. No idea how but game bugged and let me put 32 cards in the deck and now it won't let me play xD

So I built a pretty standard dragon highlander hunter no wild cards everything like it should be and... I can't play it wtf. 

Hs says the selected deck is not valid.

Is the dragon card from the solo adventure the culprit? But it was from last expansion so why would I not be able to include it?

If I hit play it starts searching an opponent and then kicks me

I guess now I have reached more or less the optimal version of the deck. It feels pretty good overall. Two victories away from 10. 

If someone has the resources and wants something new I'd suggest to try it out :)

If i find the time will do so. I downloaded deck-tracker and will try and track its winrate a bit. Right now I'm hovering at around 12-13

It struggles quite hard against the deathrattle rouge. The other matches feel fairly balanced.
