Would like to disagree with this idea that things get less casual as you go up. I for one typically make it to Diamond accidentally, then continue to spam meme decks and junkheaps on ladder.
I approve. <I <3 bread references>

I like how every thread nowadays devolves into the meme thread once someone says something funny. It makes me giggle.

We’re doing it right. 
Real talk tho.
I revisited an old alt, and I was at rank 23. I had a complete Replace Sajj deck, and it was absolutely laughable how such a bad deck steamrolled the decks that they ran (one guy played Hank Hart, Bluetip Scorpion, Black Locust, AND Skyrock Golem. In one game.). I keep this alt in Bronze for when I’m tired of meta and just want a laugh.
Same. I actually have the same thing going. I wonder if our alts will ever meet…
That is strangely profound.

Since the last poll, I regularly hit gold and even got to diamond once with a silly deck. Although the season just gone I was only silver. The only real difference between me hitting one tier from another that I’ve noticed is the amount of time/matches I played. Last season I didn’t play any games for about 3 out of the 4 weeks. The time I hit diamond I played 1 in every 2 days for about 3/4 games. I’ll probably hit gold again this season because I’ve set myself a restriction challenge in terms of which cards I can use, so hopefully I’ll be more engaged this season.
Personally, I think most people who can regularly play the game can hit diamond, if they have the time and want to. The only correlation that I think is there, is that people in diamond and S-rank will always be skilled/knowledgeable players, whereas below that is more of a mix bag where you can face off against people who are clearly better than their rank but aren’t trying or wanting to climb or just using meme/fun decks.

In the last 4 months I’ve been hitting Diamond w/ 30+ wins. I don’t play that much and only do 1-2 matches per day for the First Win quest.
Update: I signed in to check what three months of not playing on the ladder did to my rank.
Here’s the results: BRONZE
Have 1 gold, 2 diamond and 2 S-Rank, but I think I will vote for diamond…I kinda not count my first S-Rank because it was with Vaath(from middle rank 2 and doesn’t feel right wining matches just going face and lavaslashers almost no thinking moves) but to compensate next month reached S-Rank with Blood Taura Kaleos
Playing for a year now and had 7 S-rank finishes and 5 diamond finishes. Still made rank 1 or 2 in 4 of those cases but didn’t have the time/motivation to pull through to S-rank, my worst month was the one where i started playing and only made rank 5.
I think in terms of skill the rank will usually show a tendency but it isn’t really accurate. A guy who plays 400 games a month to reach S-rank in the last days isn’t really an S-rank player imo. The opposite example would be S-rank players that stay in diamond for 1 or 2 weeks to meme around a little instead of going straight for S.

Don’t play. Just lurk. I think that they are correlated, but not significantly.
Oops sorry guys turned out I was Diamond the whole time lol what a goof I just made
