Will Legend Be Easier? | Forums

I know everything is glitched right now, but assuming it wasn't, do you think attaining legend this season will be easier than before? I know it's only 7 days, but with showdowns that are 10 minutes, that seems to open the door for more showdowns. A loss might not hurt as much since it you can make it up in 10-20 mins, and racking up wins might just be quicker than we expect. I'm on the fence about this right now. I think it's a good idea but I liked the old system as well. Somewhere in the middle might be better.

I am personally waiting a day and hoping the glitches get fixed (was my plan to wait a week anyways, but I won't be able to do 50 showdowns at a time like this!). After that, we shall see.

what are the main glitches right now? i thought they already fixed them.

i would think it could be easier but it depends on match making. there is potential to get stuck playing the same opponents over and over.

If you are a skilled or professional player, it should be fairly easy to hit legends. For starter players, the 10 minute time span is not enough. It's mostly based on where you are in skill that determines how easy it will be.

I thought people were having trouble accessing the bunker and/or getting 10 minute showdowns instead of 24 hour ones. Has it already been fixed?

For a Legend (rank 14 and 2 stars) you need:

26 stars for ranks 5 to legend (ie 5/rank +1 to get in)
20 stars for ranks 10-6 (4/rank)
10 stars for ranks 14(+2)-11 (3/rank)

56 stars in 7 days

Thats 29 showdowns minimum (first 2 to get your win streak going).... assuming plenty of losses for the average person (each loss needs another showdown to catch up) we are talking at least double that, lets say.

So that means around 60 showdowns to reach Legends.... around 9 showdowns a day (63 total) to be sure..... 90 minutesa day..... probably just simpler to play showdowns until you reach your daily goal of 8-9+ stars a day....

Seems doable, assuming it all goes to plan. Wish the season was longer though. There should be no rush here (but it feels like there is)

Once your are legend is it worth playing? I would think not. Which might be good. Could help the less skilled players (like myself) reach legend, by not getting matched up with legends.

When I reach legend (if I decide to do so) I intend to start free matches that I dont play. (its not like I was going to make any real chips/pot from them anyway....) Let the other guys in.

Other than that, yes I agree its not worth playing as a Legend. Its going to be a irritating enough to simply reach it.

surely legends will be a touch harder, cause you cant simply start 50 showdowns at level 14 and play them all against level14 players. you basically have to have one at a time running, and your rank (and therefore matchmaking score) is updated every single match.

the great players will still get there, obviously. the lower players who were using the system against itself will probably not.

Since two of the legends are ones that possibly abused the trick of starting showdowns a day before, I have people to play against up here. At least they're easy to beat.

I thought this was gonna be super easy, but Ive run into pretty much this problem. I just keep getting the same opponents over and over, and we're just trading wins, which isnt good for either of us lol. Since a lot of people arent even playing or are gonna go through slowly, Im not even sure Ill make Legend this season at this point.

Yeah, if you get too far ahead of the crowd, things get harder; matches take longer to get, you play only tough people so you lose more.. need more matches to get ahead. But if you go a little slower, you can surf the wave of upcoming people, and can ride them into legends. Thats what I do, anyway; less stressful.
