Hello Steemers...
I'm a hearthstone player over 3 years... Mostly a wild player.
I never tried hard, always tried to have fun and tried to reach rank 5 for the awards...
I have not much time, i have to work but i love this game. In my free times i choose to play hearthstone.
I decided to climb ladder in standard mode (Normally I think Wild is better and more fun) till hit the legend but i did not have much time to reach my goal. Then i had some free time in mid december and started to play 2-3 hours in a day till hit the legend. I Used Secret-Tempo Mage from 25 to 10 then i used Big priest to 5. And yes i reached my every seasons goal but i really want that card back. I tried Secret Mage again did not work for me, tried big priest... Big Priest wants so much free time, too slow to climb i guess especially a person like me(do not have much time to tryhard) did not work for me... And I started to search an aggro deck for max 5 mins games and has a good Win Rate. I decided to use Aggro Paladin( With 'Call to Arms' and 'Corridor Creeper' super fast games). I hit rank 1 then back to 4, then 1 again then 2 then 1 and hit legend at last for the first time.
Here is The PROOF...
I will never rush to legend like that i love to hit rank 5 for the awards. Because its so boring and exhausting to climb from 16 to legend every month...
SO HERE MY ADVISES FOR FIRST LEGEND CLIMB
1- Track Your Stats
I Use HeartstoneDeckTracker for the statistics, I highly recommend the same for you.
2- Learn The Meta
First of all you have to know the meta. Which deck has which cards, how to play against top tier decks etc...
3- Take a Break
I always stop after 3 loses for try not to demotivate.
4- You Must Know Yourself
Try to minimize your mistakes and learn new things to use in your play style. You can not be favored in all matches...
Sometimes you have to try to finish the game before turn 6 or sometimes you have to slow it down and try to push it to the late game. It is all about you and your knowledge.
5- Try to Have Fun
Luck and RNG. Anything can happen. Once i was playing with my aggro paladin i had 'Patches the Pirate' in my starting hand 4 games in a row. You must overcome...
THANK YOU ALL
