What a relief. I've never made the Legend push, but I knew I had to go for it with the ladder rework, increased rewards, and after hitting Dad Legend on the first day.
I tried really hard several nights at the beginning of the month (sequestering myself from distractions, playing 3-4 hour chunks), but I never got farther than Rank 1, 2 Stars. I slid back to rank 4 a few times, too. Eventually, I decided not to worry about it until after the nerfs/later in the month when it might be easier. I went back to playing once or twice a day for no longer than an hour.
When I logged on this afternoon, it was just to complete my daily quests...but I went 4-0 and finally did the damn thing. I made quick work of 2x Quest Mage, a Pirate Warrior, and a Discardlock. Here's the list I've been running since the most recent nerfs.
