Ranked is awful for new players right now

[Astrix]

As a bronze player, ranked is absolutely killing me right now. Every deck I play against is just legendary after legendary.
How long does it normally take for these decks to go up to their proper rank?

I don't have enough shiftstone yet to make a decent deck to compete with these ones.

Normally about a week at the beginning of each month. However, with everyone playing new brews with Fall of Argenport cards it could be a lot longer this month.

Red / blue Yetis work. Warcry and any fast agro. Most of the big decks are slow and all you need to do is play cheep fast critters tell thay run out of creature hate or life.

I am already playing rakano warcry and was working before ladder reset but now with returning players starting off in the bronze and dropping legendaries every other turn it feels like there is no chance to move upwards until they all go up ranks.

The key point here is that ranked league JUST reset at the start of this month. There's always been a lot of jank 50% legendary decks in bronze and silver but right now, it is even more so. Just hang in there and they will be gone. :)

They make the majority of Aggro cards cheap to craft for that reason, to balance out from the slower expensive decks. It's a bit of rock, papper, scissors. Personally though, I never really enjoyed ranked because drafting, forge, and gauntlet provide more than enough resourcses to build up shiftstone to craft legendaries.

So far I face Tier1 and Tier2 decks in bronze II on a regular basis. Even those not identified as top tier are stuffed with top notch legendaries or rares. 2 power 3/3 in time decks broke the back of rakano warcry and some of the rest.

LoL. Ya all want younger women, older whisky and faster decks.

The new legendary with 3/3 and infiltrate, which is giving all your draws a + mana cost improvement is such a killer at the moment. If you don't have a counter (fireball, blocker or something else) it is imo GG instantly. Way to hard, would be better if the effect wears of after a few cards, but this way pewww

There's no problem skycrag aggro can't solve.

um never ?
unless you play hundreds of games you wont move forward

even the best decks go like

1: win
2; loss to due to sigils
3; win
4; loss to due to sigils
on so on staying on the spot

unless i specifically play aegis champion turn 2 and 3 facerush dead by turn 4
theres no way i would ever leave bronze 3

i guess all the guys you meet, simply play their new fun decks

like i do,
its just spaming time ones for me

but you wont rise with those

i played only time since the release, and ive never gotten to hit face with him once
every single deck can easily answer it and ive never seen anyone that couldnt

maybe in 30%ish of the games or so i had a teacher out at turn 2 which is still plenty
but lol it definitely isnt a problem for ANY deck
i guess its nice i got him for the 2 drop, but so far its simply wasted 10k dust that isnt doing anything

the card really isnt a problem for anyone, and ppl insanly exaggerate how busted he is
being able to be targeted with every in game removal except vanish

he needs aegis or at least ambush, not to blow up the milisecond hes played

"Unless you play hundreds of games you wont move forward". Wrong!

Learn how to play dude. I am new player and I reached gold. I was out of bronze with no trouble using a Warcry agro deck.

You say. "unless i specifically play aegis champion turn 2 and 3 facerush dead by turn 4

Here's the answer: Stop giving a damn about ranked. Play in Casual, gauntlet, etc. Ranked is often the same old boring junk repeated. Have fun for once.

Aggro works, sorta. Until you hit the wall of sandstorm titans that everyone and their dog plays.
