Bad New Rank System 2

Diamond 5 - Legend, Full Reno deck and quest mage.Reason: All legend players (mostly) are playing 2 deck ( Quest Mage and Reno Warlock )
I’m telling you very clearly. Even if you think about it all year,you couldn’t have done such a monotonous system.
The matches are not fair !
Rank 5 - Legend
Rank 4 - Legend vs.
Don’t waste people’s time :warning: Your new rank system is doing this.

I am not a fan of this new rank system either. I play standard and I have not even managed to make gold this month. In the old rank system I would usually finish up at rank 10-12. I find it annoying that I cannot see my opponents rank. Why is it that only legend players are able to see their opponents rank? For all I know at crappy Silver I could be playing against diamond players.

afaik youre now matched according to mmr, not rank. so it doesnt matter if say a legend rank player gets matched vs a bronze rank player cause they got similar mmr and are thus on an equal level.

This is the first time I have seen such monotony, full mage & warlock ( wild mode D5- Leg ) Damn.

The reset is still horrible. For any casual players it’s impossible to climb. MMR be dammed. It just requires too many games to be played. Playing just enough to complete your quests isn’t enough to reach legend.

In the old system I played on average 10 games a week. It was slow, but I climbed to 15, then 10, then 5 and was at frekin rank 3 when they introduced this new system. So miffed about that. I was about to hit legend now I make it to platinum before it resets me back to bronze.

And what’s with the confusing rank structure. They made a simple 25->1 structure complicated as hell. There are what 5 different 10->1 ranks now, so twice as much. And the bonus stars we get at the beginning of the season are confusing. Never know how much you get or when they fall off, it’s a mess. I can’t understand for the life of my why it was ever changed

It takes fewer games now because of the bonus stars, how many varies quite a bit be cause of the streaks. It is more confusing, for sure but if you ended the final old system at rank 3 and then only made it platinum the next month, you either played way less or won a way lower % of games.

‘’ It just requires too many games to be played. ‘’
important detail.

Looking at the old system and new its seems the present system is floored across the board with MMR not working probably from observing different servers, forums etc. For example new player meeting Legend Players in Bronze , silver, gold which you agree are lower ranks. This has happened to me on several occasions when starting new accounts and meeting Legend on the Ranks mentioned above. Khisana comment about MMR is worrying for new players it should be matched with Rank. Players at Gold 4 vs Legend 4598 on a new account proves that its just bad. I mentioned the lack of players at the lower rank would be filled in by Legend players on match making system as the numbers on the lower ranks would fall away, may point is being proven earlier than I expected.

Old Ranked System
Rank 50 to Rank 16|3 Stars per Rank|
Rank 15 to Rank 11|4 Stars per Rank|
Rank 10 to Rank 1|5 Stars per Rank|

Total stars required 175 for Legend

The new Ranked system without the bonus stars for new players from start is alot more but with Bonus star once you reach the higher ranks benefits you the following month. The new player experience is slow but for old players is to quick so the NEW STSYEM IS FLOORED. Its just needs a bit of adjusting so the experience for new players is enjoyable and the higher skill players feel its not a walk over.

The next quarter results on Hearthstone numbers is going to be worrying with player fall off.

Are you still earning bonus stars for winning? If not then you are ranked against similar ranked players based on your level MMR only comes in when you are getting the bonus stars.
