So, you're playing ranked games in Hearthstone and you keep getting wrecked. You swear you're getting matched up against better players – but it might actually be time to start blaming the internet. It's totally lagging. Oh, and your mouse battery is low – that's lagging too.
I'm kidding, but not really – there are way less Legendary tier players than you think. In fact, out of the 20 million player base only .5% are Legendary (that's 100,000/20,000,000). Around 2% of players are somewhere within the range of Rank 5 to Legendary, 5.5% make up the ranks between 10 and 5 and 17.5% of players in the middle Ranks (Rank 15 – 10).
The majority of players, 75%, sit at Rank 25 – 15.
Blizzard was kind enough to release an infograph illustrating these statistics:
There you have it folks. You're not as bad or low ranked as you thought.
