Thought the deck was really good after drafting it last night, played 1 game, lost to an aggro deck turn 8 after drawing all weapons and kind of forgot about it. Started playing it today and after 8 straight wins with literally no competition, I looked back at all of the synergies and how well rounded the deck is...I honestly believe it is one of the luckiest drafts imaginable.
It has tons of removal, single target and large, overload synergy, battlecry synergy, weapons for early board control, heals to extend, all of the mech synergy...just incredible deck
After hitting legend with it the last two months, I switched from Combo Druid and just hit legend with Patron. My question is, why are so many people still playing Combo Druid? What exactly is it doing well against? The meta is populated by Patron, Secretadin, Aggro Shaman, Control Priest, Zoolock, and Tempo Mage. All of these decks have favorable matchups over the Druid.
I had a similar one the other day, but it was even worse. I drafted Challenger 1st overall and ended up drafting 5 secrets. Turn 1 pass, Turn 2 haunted creeper, turn 3 minibot, turn 4 Keeper of Uldaman, turn 5 coin challenger into 4 secrets, turn 6 murlock knight into another murlock knight, turn 7 mukla's champion into another murlock knight and one murlock war leader.
So people actually think if Force of Nature, a 6 cost card, summoned 3 2/2 minions without charge, it would be balanced? Good god, you people are terrible at this game. The card would be absolute garbage. That's 3X 2 mana 2/2 with no other effects.
I like how people believe that they're master strategists and the only reason they're not reaching legend is due to mindless aggro/burst decks holding them back. Once the nerfs go through, they'll then find something else to blame it on i suppose.
how do any of you keep sane when you reach rank 1. Every game I feel so much pressure during rank 1 because if you lose you effed up and are going back to rank 2 and more and more pressure just builds up.
It's more or less routine at this point, once you hit legend a few times and still have a positive win rate at legend rank, you believe you should win every game outside of hard counters.
Yes and I went from rank 15 to rank 5 in 1 day while maybe losing a grand total of 7 or 8 games. I had a streak all the way from rank 9 to 5 IIRC.
decklist u used?
It's the standard midrange druid list but I use 2 Roots, 1 Aspirant, 1 MC tech, 1 shade, 1 azure drake. There isn't some secret deck for hitting legend quickly, I am very comfortable with the deck and am very familiar with the rest of the decks played on ladder and how to exploit/play around them . I curved out well and got some good matchups which is the reason I was able to move up so fast, but I've hit top 100 legend the last 2 months with the same deck.
Legend isnt a grind when you're a pro and do it in 200 games :D
200 games is still a grind. Let's say the average game takes 10 minutes, that's still more than 30 hours of ranked play in a month. Assuming you play every other day, that's 2 hours per day. It's not like it's just a breeze. If you don't have a job/school and are playing 12 hours a day, that's a different story.
Anyone hitting legend on the first day, or even top 5 tbh, deserves some credit. I tried to ladder for a few hours earlier on NA, and it's legitimately tough to get to rank 10 right now. Then again, I guess pretty much everyone playing at that time around those ranks will probably hit legend this season.
Good lord, you guys love to get baited. The OP is clearly not playing at legend rank and I know this because at least 20% of players between ranks 3-legend are running secret paladin.

Mill rogue might actually be possible now that most deathrattles and loatheb are gone.
