Stuck at rank 13 means you are making almost constant play mistakes. You also sound arrogant when you claim to know "quite a but about the game" and also claim to have "pretty solid decks" yet are stuck at such a low ranking, which is almost guaranteed to be the root of why you can't improve.

Here is some perspective for you.

I broke into top 100 legend 5 times this season. I also got a friend into the game a week before this season started. He casually got through the tutorial and the "get the heroes to level 10 in practice mode" phase the week before this season. I coached him four times, on four different days, for around an hour each time. He is currently rank 4. He only has two decks, both nearly free to play, outside of the one naxx wing he paid for. Has no legends outside of maexxna and loatheb. However, he rarely if ever makes mistakes when he plays. That's why he's rank 4.

He admitted he was total shit at the game and thinks that he is still pretty bad, far more so than I do at this point about him. But it was this attitude of his that let him succeed, because he was willing to improve rather than blame match ups or rng every game he lost.

Trust me. If you are stuck at rank 13, you are borderline terrible at hearthstone. No excuses. Re-evaluate your plays, record yourself playing, hire a coach, etc. Don't come onto the subreddit and spout off utter bullshit.

Wow you're not only full of shit, you're an asshole too.

Edit: And not to mention pretentious as fuck. What is with this high and mighty attitude man? Have you forgotten that we are sitting here discussing video games?

hire a coach

Please tell me you made this up to make a point - what kind of person would actually pay money for video game lessons?

It's a primary source of income for many mid-view count hearthstone streamers who don't get the ad or donation revenue of people like amaz or reynad. I'm not saying I agree with it by any means, nor have I ever done something like that myself, but never underestimate the drive to improve in people. For adults with careers who have excess money but not enough time to learn from practice, a coach can allow them to make the most of the time they do have.

Someone wrote a decently-written article and posted it on this subreddit about their coaching session with Admirable. I'd search for it and give it a skim read if you want to know more behind what the incentive seemingly is for the people that do purchase those services.

That article was a pretty interesting read, I honestly thought you were making it up to seem extra belittling. I'm curious though now, what's there not to agree with? Didn't you basically coach your friend for 4 hours? Or is it just the cost?

The problem is there are people who have been known to half-ass the ordeal from what I've heard. I sort of addressed this in another post as well. Basically, here is how the half-ass coaching goes: I watch you play ~2-4 games, but really just tell you every single play to make without you engaging your own brain, then give you a top tier deck list or two and wish you on your merry way. At that point you could almost say it is paying me to play for you, just over your shoulder. I don't know which people are supposedly guilty of it, but I've read more than a few accounts of people with complaints of situations which mirrored that example. What admirable does (apparently, according to said article) was very, very similar to the methodology I use in most aspects of how I make money, and was also what I applied to my buddy. Clearly the results speak for themselves, and not just in my case. Having the player reach their own conclusions which are also the correct ones is the most successful approach. If all coaching was reliably done in this manner, I'd have literally 0 qualms about it : ) The same theory applies to therapy as well, if further reference is needed.

Oh, and yeah the cost does seem a bit high but hey, if people are willing to spend that much then so be it; more money for streamers is never a bad thing since it promotes e sports!
