  1. Great steps in the right direction

  2. Nice done 😉

  3. Thank god there is no exclusive legend cardbacks for every month
    I would be so sad

  4. Not as great as MMR matchmaking but this is a good change.

  5. great to see some changes and some GREAT communication from the team, and who would be more suited than Ben to give us this news

  6. Magma rager to the hall of fame

  7. Wow people cryed so much that they made it easyer to get legend ?

  8. Hey Ben , sadly no laughs. Feelsbadman

  9. Sounds like good changes. Thanks Brode and team 5 for listening!

  10. Explodingpineapple 64

    when you say it goes back 4, is that from your best or current rank? good call though

  11. sounds good! I might be greedy, but I feel the rewards are not good enough :/

  12. I love you Ben Brode

  13. Thomas van de graaf

    Good change now players with fewer time or motivation can get to legend too.

  14. “We’ve heard your feedback on the current ranked ladder experience”
    Wow, we only had to scream it at the top of our lungs for four years in row.

  15. At first I was like “this is bullshit”, until the rewards change, now I’m all about this change for the better. 🙂

  16. Good change but I don’t care how long it takes to get to legend, I care about not facing aggro and tempo decks with the same 21 neutrals cards

  17. It took only 4 years, but it’s cool

  18. Seems legit.

    Maybe I can get up to legend finally.

    Just maybe.

  19. Hearthstone Mathematics

    I was expecting to see something different. But this is a very good decision! I’m happy!

  20. Whenever I see a Ben Brode video but he doesn’t laugh my heart splits up into another piece
