Yep, that's what I do... I don't even play much Hearthstone. LoR is my new playground at this moment. But I still do my daily 😉

i forgot all about that game hows it doing

I really love it... Such a good reward system AND much much less RNG bullcrap... I play since only two weeks and I already have 3 very good control/midrange decks. Not a single dime invested. Total F2P. They announced more changes before end of this year, this game is a rising star. Mark my words.

you've sold me on it gonna give it a go.
edit: idk if i can get over the artwork.

Your star bonus is based on your hidden MMR. It doesnt reset every month any more - your stars may change at the end of a month, but it will be due to change in your MMR, NOT the rank you achieved in the month.
If you get a higher tier than you had before, you'll get more bonus stars, but once you have them, you wont lose them very quickly.

System functioning properly. You don't lose your MMR over a season of inactivity.

in may you were rank 4 diamond, what was your legend rank in April?
2
A bit lower than rank 700 (in wild) if I remember well...

Ty, assume it is just carry over from that month :/
1
I don't think so because the month after I had a 10stars bonus and assumed that was normal because not high legend... But he, will not complain ! 😉

Oh wow.. so u went from legend rank getting a 10 star to diamond 4 and getting an 11x, that is janky!

Yeah I got a higher star bonus this month than last even though I was a lower rank.. Pretty sure it's because my mmr was better this time around.

Yeah I feel like a poser Legend when I only got a 10 star bonus the past two months. Top 10k in legend doesn't cut it.

I have a 10 star bonus for wild and I only played to gold 10 last month in that format. Each rank floor has a minimin star bonus you can get and then your mmr will determine extra stars, from my understanding that is.
1
Yeah it's an odd system. I have a 9 star bonus and I only reached gold because I didn't have time to play much. I get why it happens but it always feels a bit odd, like I didn't really earn the stars.

Yup my main account got 11 stars, was rank 4 last month and my dummy account got 10 stars(rank 4 last month). Weird

MMR system is messed up. I've never made it to legend but I keep playing against players with the Legend Card back.

This, my friend, has nothing to do with MMR... First, I don't set this show off card back. We have plenty beautiful one. So you can play against me because it's fair in this case ? Somebody that was legend 3 years ago by grinding the ladder with hyper aggro don't represent an unfair mastermind opponent. Just biased because you think playing against legend card back is not fair. They count on this 😉

I don't know why, I was legend and got 10 star bonus but some people like you did get extra bonus stars
higher mmr. you can just not play enough to hit legend but still have a high mmr
What they've said from the beginning is that your number of stars is based on your MMR.
Being legend means they'll pretend your MMR was enough for 10 stars, even if you've been goofing off and playing something like YES! Rogue or Coldarra Drake Priest.
Similarly, the minimum star numbers for other ranks happen by giving you a higher starting MMR for the new month if your ending MMR is low, given how well you performed on the ladder.
I think it's to prevent people from benefiting by tanking their MMR at the end of the season, in the same way that having rank-based player pools when you run out of bonus stars is meant to prevent you from tanking your MMR at a rank floor with a weak deck to make it easier to win-streak up to the next rank floor when you switch to a strong deck.
