Sorry to hear how frustrated you've been with your Platinum rank duels. Speaking for myself, I think the overwhelming negation options in Yu-Gi-Oh is a big part of why I don't have fun dueling 90% of the time. I play a few other CCG's outside of Master Duel, and not being stopped immediately during your plays in those games is such a breath of fresh air.
My biggest problem with platinum is the FTKs. I feel like at least half of the matches I have in platinum on any given day are degenerate decks you can’t do anything in response to. Whether it’s garbage like Rhongo or a literal FTK/OTK like the Hippo deck, Secret Blast, Gem-Knights, the Numeron thing, and more that I just can’t think of at the moment. it’s just not fun to play against. If it wasn’t for all the fun I had playing actual decks grinding to platinum I would have quit the game after the first week or two. It’s been all downhill since then. Every couple matches I’ll play against something bordering on unfair, but at least I can put up a fight, if not win. Even against the “fair” decks, it kinda feels like if you don’t open Ash, Called by, AND Maxx C, plus actual cards to play the game with your chances of winning are greatly diminished. I’ve been messing around with decks for the n/r event in solo mode and I can’t tell if I’m actually having fun playing those decks, or just enjoying doing something yugioh-related that isn’t platinum.
I felt this. I've been playing superheavy samurai since master duel released and it feels like I've shot myself in the foot everytime I play in plat. Once I got there I just stopped playing after drytron and tri brigade kicked my butt 4 times in a row.
Dude it's so frustrating sometimes, I went from 1 game away to plat 2 to 8 losses in a row and staring plat 4 in the face. I just kept rage-queueing into Drytrons or true king or mass floodgates.
I am so fortunate that my absolutely favorite deck, Fluffals, can take advantage of some of the not-so-fair cards in this game and my coin toss luck in order to compete with the meta and make it to Plat 1. It sucks that so many archetypes fall to the consistency and potency of the top decks. The solution to this in Duel Links was KOG, which is something that should be implemented in MD as well. The top tier meta shouldn't be in the same pool as everyone else so, by the middle of the month, the meta decks dilute and everyone has a fair shot at making Plat 1.
I feel you, man. I got my Six Samurai and Ancient Warrior decks to plat 1 and I would roll my eyes whenever I see drytron and their infinite omni negates. I think if you want to climb with rogue decks, you either play a super broken turn 1 like Rhongo with Six Sam or build your deck to go turn 2 with kaiju's and board wipes (I know some decks are just made to go first by the nature of their archetype). This gives you a chance because you fill your deck with turn 2 cards, and 90% of people will choose to go first anyways.
I grew up with yu gi oh in the early/mid 2000s and coming back to this game and building a dark magicians deck has been really fun. Progress felt gradual and some matches felt like a game of chess, all about patience and moving back and forth. This was until I reached platinum 5. I just can’t win. I can’t even make a good move. In one turn people summon cards that literally stop me from destroying them, then destroy my traps and any card I summon. I understand my deck probably just isn’t that good, the thing is that this didn’t feel gradual. Like, suddenly I’m playing a different game. It’s awful, I’m just gonna pretend this game doesn’t exist.
It's sad that you can't even drop down to gold if you're "not feeling it" anymore. If you get to Plat maining a tier 2/3 deck and get destroyed every game you play, pretty much all you can do is wait a month and learn to tank your way back down to gold 5 as soon as you hit gold 1.
Same , I mainly play machines (orcust/earth machine) because limiter removal is my favourite card of all time and i don’t enjoy any of this meta decks nowadays.. i made the exact same tri brigade deck in the master duel website to see what’s all the hype about played 2 games with it and ended up selling that entire deck because IT IS BORING the deck it self and playing a lot of mirror matches makes it even worse, best part about yu gi oh since early 2000s (personally) was making a deck and see how it functions and make it better instead of going for the most try hard op toxic 20 million floodgates/negates deck and coping it i mean ffs just enjoy the game you sweaty bastards
I did the plat climb the first two seasons and that was all well and good but in season three I got to gold 1 and immediately started losing intentionally and it's the best decision I've made. I've been having so much fun in gold and playing pure artifacts against the variety of things you face there. I'm not frustrated at all about plat 1 being meta. That's literally what the top ranks are for: competition and finding the optimal strategy. The people there enjoy that. I just like my anime duels in gold.
This issue is not letting non-meta players that scrape their way into plat V not go back to Gold. Most people aren't going to keep up to date on what exactly are the deranking rules for the current season
I love playing monarch, and I can get what you mean. I can play monarchs and have a good time and win up till plat 5, at that point I have no choice but to switch decks if I want to rank up any further. but I think thats ok, just the way the game is. I kind of just wish they had a "casual mode" with no rank, youd be able to see a lot more experiemental decks, if their was no noticable downside to losing. as if a causal mode existed i could just auto concede against every meta deck and not care.
Yeah, I get what you mean. And I agree that it's not a bad thing that there are meta decks in plat, I just want to have fun and there really isn't a way to do that right now. Oh well, what can you do.
I'm late to this but I really relate with you. Played Plat today for the first time. Spent all morning playing. I couldn't summon a single monster the entire morning. I heard the rumors but this is way worse than I thought. The negate format is out of control
I can tolerate Veiler, Ash, Maxx C, Ghost Ogre, and the like. But come on, I have to wait half an hour just for my oponent to create an omni negate board that doesn't allow me to play even 1 card? Herald of Ultimateness, I'm looking at you.
Wouldn't change anything. Duel links casual is overrun by bots so most of the MD bots would also go there for free gems. People would also use casual mode as a testing ground.
They should really give us a permanent N/R ladder with an updated banlist that bans bethor and some metalfoes. N/R format is so great in terms of being different from the modern game.
I play a triple combo deck and when I find myself in a pickle, even in Silver I see it. I draw the one card that I need to start my comeback run...and it gets negated by Ash or something else. It's just so frustrating...especially the fact that the meta can literally abuse negation by recycling. The meta is just out of control and it's just way to easy to negate stuff in this day and age. As a former Duel Links player, I remember making crazy shutdown decks that took aim at special summoning, which was awesome...until forbidden lance came along. It's the same thing with Master Duel...
i feel the same way, i think the problem is that there are so many over powered monsters that can be summuned with the meta decks only because they do not have ANY restrictions. like tri brigrade would be OK if after using a tri brigade effect u are LOCKED into tribrigade monsters... the problem is that there are so many good Beast, beast warrior, and winged beast monsters (simorg) that is not a restriction at all. its so unfair i play madolches, and the balanced and fun thing about it is, when u summon pettingceasur u are LOCKED into madolches : Not fairs, not beast, not spellcaster, A RESTRICTION ON THE HECKING NAME wich is exactly what makes a rogue deck, they lock u in NAMES , so u dont instantly go into ZEUS / ACCESCODE. the game would be so much balanced, u dont even need to ban ANY card if u just lock the archetypes after using an effect monster with a specific name
But that's what makes the game fun. Finding those incidental synergies. Trying to figure out how much to get away with. I feel the opposite. Instead of making harsher restrictions, make more decks have synergies with more stuff. That why I am not a fan of the most recent support my archetype (Darklords) got. It really helps the deck, but it locks you into fairy monsters. Meaning I can't play it with anything else unless I am able to play around that lock. I thinks that's what makes a cool deck, and a good archetype. That is also why I really love Tri-Brigade Lyrilusc. All of those incidental synergies. Like I would love a deck that was Madolche and Ritual Beasts! 2 Decks that prefer not having cards in the graveyard. That would be so cool if you could put those together, but sadly, you can't. However, when I made this video I did not get my actually thought and feelings across very well. I will be making a response video in which I talk a bit more about what I would like to see from specifically Master Duel, but also just Yu-Gi-Oh in general, that would improve the game. Sorry for the long response.
The game just becomes not fun as soon as you cross into platinum, and there's no way of deranking or playing unranked (the joke that is the duel rooms don't count) to make it fun again. What were they thinking?
I agree. I feel bad playing some rogue decks because its a long turn combo that leads to a moderately difficult to break board and the game usually ends there
Yeah, I don't mind the meta decks, it's more so that I don't really have an area I can play something just for fun. Even in duel links there is a casual mode. I just got a little tired of losing.
@@SnowiKs I play duel link however in Casual it reeks of bots grinding xp. It would be nice in Master Duel and hoping adding more events in the future.
I feel the same way, or I would, if pure Darklord didn't brick half of the games I technically get to play. XD Basically, I get to play 25% of my games. Another issue is that upper gold also has a lot of those meta decks because the people with the meta decks don't wanna eat their own shit so they surrender.
@@Honest_Mids_Masher Darklord is a one trick pony deck. Your winning condition is getting out the First Darklord, destroying everything on the field, and going for game. Pure Darklord, is NOT a versatile deck, at all. Many have said it, but one Ash can brick you. If you go second in plat 1, you will most likely not be able play if they have any spell, or monster effect negation. The deck feels outdated against current decks. Your two staple spells (banishment and contact) are once per turn. Your main monsters are all bricks which cannot be special summoned from hand. To use the effect of a darklord on the field, you have to pay 1k health, and the spell goes from graveyard to the deck, which means you get to use it once. It's a fun deck when you are playing against a bad player, or against a deck that isn't optimized. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Darklords. I only have a Hero and Darklord deck, but I would not advise anyone to invest the gems unless they already made am optimized main, competitive deck, and got the main staple cards.
Yep. Love playing darklords. Cool artwork, and when you get going it's really fun. But in platinum that only happens, well, rarely. I wish there was a single player story mode or something, or just more single player where you can mess around in. Like a cute VN style story where you get isekai'd into the worlds of different archetypes and you have to save the day by dueling idk.
I’m kinda avoid plat in general cuz i like running into different decks i never fought before which is more fun then playing against stuff like dryton and eldlitch which is just really really boring and frustrating at most times
Totally agree with you, i love playing darklord too, and i make another acc to try tri brigade its fun at first only, sure u can get so many winstreak but i prefer playing my darklord deck eventho ill be stuck in gold
just nothing, you go 1st with op who has 4 hand trap in hand, or go 2nd with a board of 4+ omni negate (totally normal anyway) . . . . Incase you don't see my tone, it was sarcasm
My thoughts are completely different though, Plat 1 people run non-meta jank since there's no fear of dropping down lower than plat 1, so ironically plat 1 opponents are more fun than plat 2-5, and the entirety of gold for the matter.
@@SnowiKs Still better than playing modern Yugioh. At least there you get to play A game. The Switch game also has a real campaign for single player content compared to Master Duel's sorry excuse of a Solo mode.
if half the cheese gets removed in masterduel or uses a TCG banlist instead of OCG banlist, those players will yeet themselves, i prefer the TCG > OCG banlist anyday
returning yugiboomer here , every season i build a new deck and try to get it to platinum. this season is dark magician already got to plat im not even trying hard anymore every time i see drytron or trizoo i just scoop i know people are competitive but the 4oo gems to reach plat 1 isnt even worth the grind and if you play your main deck to reach plat 1 then switch to something else what was even the point of the season.
No new banlist for more than 4 month now its annoying to play this meta decks over and over and over and over again... Lol I hope things change for Master Duel.
4 months is the normal amount of time it takes for Konami to release a banlist in their formats. The problem was that we didn't get as many new cards since the game released that shook up the meta.
I can win about 3 in a row in platinum using d/d cards or a synchron deck...after those 3 in a row I will get absolutely beaten down it makes it NOT FUN... you'll lose, you play against the same decks every other duel
Really sucks that my rank is determined by rather if I lose the coin toss, then boom, "banquet of millions>D.D Dynamite>Trap Trick>D.D Dynamite 9000 damage." No chance to interact and can't get passed platinum rank 3 unless I play Meta. Which I'm not a fan of playing. Lacking a match option with a side deck and no "balanced" ban list is frustrating. Done with the game until they balance it out.
if you dont want to play plat just throw games after u win so u dont rank up, i personally dont get it, yugioh is all about negates thats the entire game state, its more fun to beat a meta deck in my eyes than destorying my oppoent losing with ojama bc they set 2 and pass
I agree, it is more fun to beat a crazy board. My issue isn't that, so much as I want to see more different types of decks, and there really isn't anywhere that I can just play a casual game. It's all just ranked, and sometimes, I want a break from playing against meta. That's why I also don't enjoy just sitting in gold until the end of the season, because I do just see a whole bunch of terrible decks that I beat with ease. I just want something other than a try hard experience all the time. Also, I hate people who throw games, so I don't do that to respect other players who feel the same.
I respect that, sometimes when im sitting plat 1 and play against others who arent i will make full board see what they do and just let them have the game even when they cant play through like 8 negates bc they actually need the win, and going first can legit just make u win
I've noticed that if you are in plat 1 it's not that bad actually there's more variety deck you can play against rather than plat 2 below they usually use meta deck or something that you are not allowed to play any card, so I recommend you to climb to plat 1 they are more chill.
Sorry to hear how frustrated you've been with your Platinum rank duels.

I respect that, sometimes when im sitting plat 1 and play against others who arent i will make full board see what they do and just let them have the game even when they cant play through like 8 negates bc they actually need the win, and going first can legit just make u win
@@TheRealVolstix Your honor inspires me good sir! o7
I've noticed that if you are in plat 1 it's not that bad actually there's more variety deck you can play against rather than plat 2 below they usually use meta deck or something that you are not allowed to play any card, so I recommend you to climb to plat 1 they are more chill.
