So like in the topic, I have a serious problem with ranking up the Legend. At the moment I’m at 2k Legend and I’m getting only few Legend points for winning and same when losing (like 5-25, last game I’ve gained 7…). I’ve made a ticket and GM says that I should write about it here. I have many screen shots and list of games from decktracker when you can see my awkward spot. Blizzard find a solution for me, becouse other way my ranked season just finished right now…
Here is a topic from the older forums where people had similiar complains.

Though we never got any answers and probaly you get stuck with the issue until next month. Though how i read your title do you mean you receive 5-25 rank for winning and losing ? , since that is just working as its intended.
The link i posted considered people losing way more ranks with a winrate above 70% over a pool of 50 matches or more.
I’m not convinced this is a bug. Legend doesn’t work like ranks below legend. It’s based on your MMR. At the lower legend ranks there are going to be more players tightly packed around similar MMR’s so winning and losing games is going to be more impactful. As you get higher up the legend rankings there are less players on similar MMRS so winning and losing games has less impact on your legend rank.
@Deto: What is your (approximate) current legend rank? What is the amount of ranks you had expected to gain or lose after each game, and what is the basis for that assumption?
I have myself never reached legend, but I often watch streamers. And it is very noticable that the amount of ranks gained/lost depends on how high the legendary rank is. Players in the 4-digit ranks often lose or win up to (or even over) a hundred ranks at a time. In the three-digit area the amount tends to be just a few dozen. As they approach top 10 they start to make even smaller jumps, and within the top 10 it is not uncommon to gain or lose just a single rank at a time, or even to have to win two or three consecutive games to win a single rank.
@Nostalgamus: That link is to an issue with matchmaking that popped up shortly after some of the rules of ranked play and matchmaking were changed; in that time a lot of people were affected but that issue has since been fixed.
Thanks guys for respond. I’m still stucked…
ATM I’m reciving for win 5-10 points and going back for 15-25 when losing. That’s just rediculous. Even with 67% winrate I’m further in dumpster legend. After night losing another 200, becouse of new players reached legend. Playing ranked in this season is just pointless for me.
When I hit in legend this season I’ve decided to play some fun and to be honest bad decks. I’ve started from 700 legend and after making 9-24 was on 1,5k - The problem started… In 4 days I’m 2,5k and whitout any hope to reach top legend ranks…
Last season I finished top 300 legend and obviously won’t make it happen again this season.
Blizzard please fix this. Hearthstone is an E-sport game and every player should have equal chances, even when playing with fun decks or on losing streaks !!!
