The clans that have become legendary are dead, meaning their time has passed as a whole. They do not have any major impact anymore, unlike the current clans, like Alpha.
Why would a current clan become legendary when they can still potentially have a bigger impact than they already have?
If one is dead, the legacy is done. If one is alive, the legacy continues.
My own opinion, don't kill me please.
I can live with the fact, that legends just get picked based on popularity instead of actual archievements.
here is where you're wrong, those people and clans have been picked to have the legendary status because they HAVE achieved things, for example: replay making, those people who have been given the legendary status have achieved records and generally being known for having such unique replays and making replays like no other, almost every person who enjoys making replays look up to those people.
so basically they have been chosen for popularity AND achievements, i dont think they have been given the status JUST for popularity otherwise loads of other people who play this game would be legends also and i could name SO many people.
You are right. The legendary clans can show certain archievements.
But I think I haven't made clear what I ment to say.
I ment to say: There is no possibility for a clan to make some sort of checklist to see if they are on a good way to become legendary. You just have to have the luck to get chosen. And that is based on popularity.
