Hey everyone! I’m trying to figure out how to break through to Legend from D1/D2 in the current meta. I’ve made it to D1 with 3 stars a couple of times, but then I face all these Terrans who drop low-cost ships with insane stats and effects. When I do manage to stay in the game, Reynor just brings everything back, and it feels like a total uphill battle.
I’m currently playing Handbuff Hunter, which seems strong, but against Terrans, my win rate is below 35%. I noticed that most Hunter decks from D1 to D4 are sitting around 40% win rate too. Should I stick with Handbuff Hunter or try switching to a Discover/Zerg deck instead? I’m not sure if I have any other strong decks to compete with the current Diamond meta. Also, I was wondering if it’s just the beginning of the season and I’m facing tougher opponents, if I need to get better at piloting my deck, or if there’s something else I should consider.

Focus on playing the deck you’re comfortable with. Try not to get tilted—take breaks if you need to. You’ve made it to D5, so you’ve got the skills to reach Legend! I’ve had success with Handbuff Hunter, hitting over 50% against Shaman. Consider using Hydralisks instead of Penguins to tweak your deck. And if you’re contemplating a switch to Discover/Zerg, make sure to check out something like the Zerg Handbuff deck. Just stay confident, and don’t anticipate losing before it happens!
Abusing top-tier decks is the quickest way to boost your win rate right now. Unfortunately, the easiest route is leaning on those OP decks.
The classic answer: just play more games. It might not be the answer you want, but if you’re using Handbuff Hunter, you actually have decent matchups to climb with. Don’t get discouraged!
Give Zerg decks a shot; they perform well against Warrior and Shaman if you’re running into those often. It’s worth trying something new!
Honestly, just play a strong deck like Autopilot Shaman or Warrior. Right now, the meta doesn’t require much skill, so just grind out some games. I wish they’d bring back the win streak bonus to help with this!
That’s some solid advice! Sticking with what you know and tweaking it seems like a smart way to go.
