Is it just me or is meta decks making this game really boring

[Slur Slinging Slasher]

I'm starting to get really bored playing this game because every time I duel its always against the same meta decks. And I can't use the decks I want to use because they will get steam rolled by the op meta decks so I'm forced to to either hope that in my few hours of playing I'll run into someone not running meta decks or just use a boring meta deck myself. That paired with the fact that if I want to earn more gems to get new cards I have to play ranked to the point that there is no reason to play casual duels means I'm only gonna run into meta decks

I got 16x times in a row DMs... yeah this was fun... fun.

try duelist cup. yeah. spright/evil twin, spright/runick, spright, BRAINdead Despia, swordsoul and kelbek zombie whatever abomination in that deck just to mill you. Yeah which one?. Even low ranked cannot escape from these deck. I want dm against me at this point.

Hating Spright because its crazy consistent I get. Hating Runick because its ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ annoying I get. But Branded and Swordsoul? All things considered those decks are fine in the scope of things. Branded dies to Ash sneezing in their direction, what are they gonna do? Mirrorjade pass? They cant do ♥♥♥♥ without at least 3 starters in their first hand. Swordsoul has a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hernia when they see a Maxx C, as does many decks obviously but if the Swordsoul player sees a Maxx C they are gonna summon Chixao, set Blackout, and pray you wont have too many cards to play. Or play into the Maxx C and give the opponent like 8 cards. These decks end on like one negate/pop on a good day, 2 if they have extra gas or arent handtrapped. I'd much rather fight Branded or Swordsoul then see another ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Runick Tip/Hugin.

One negate/pop on a good day? Bruh that's everyday for those 2 deck. They are both 1-2 card full combo what are you talking about?
Like yeah, they are more fair than the latest deck but you're understating they're power by a lot.
Like the Maxx C situation you mentioned. Sword soul can get a negate and 2 pop with only 2 special summon, and the way you phrase it makes it sounds bad, but its really good.

I suppose I did, but from my experience both facing the decks and playing them, quite often they can flop pretty hard when youre just a little less lucky on the draw piloting them. If you dont immediately have an out then ya they are a problem but that can be said about any tiered deck really. Their above average recovery is why people tend to have it out for those decks, no one likes the opponent recovering from what one would believe to be a massive outplay. That said, they have nothing on how powerful Spright is or how ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ annoying Runick is, so on that we agree

I was kinda thinking the same thing.

In all honesty it is a you problem because in every card game there will be a meta and parts of it people don't enjoy.

but they try to bring out balanced cards yugioh tries to bring out cool cards that are sometimes op

[Kitsune GG]

There will always be a 'meta' what I like are healthy ones, where there are a lot of competitive options. The fewer options the less healthy a meta becomes as more people try to play fewer 'best' options. Based on what's coming down the pipe I think we're heading to a more unhealthy meta as we catch up to where TCG and OCG are.

duelist cup just like toxic cup, 10 matches 3-4 runick, 1-2 exosister

Someone hit you with the clown award, but you're absolutely right. This event is worse than playing ranked somehow. Ran into 5 spright negate everything decks that take 30 minutes (exaggerating, but sure feels like it) to finish their turn IN A ROW. There's actually nothing but the same few decks.

I only play casual at this point, if I see that my rival it's a bothersome annoying deck user, I just quit fast, next.

Most of my games was againts Sky Strikers, Exosister or Spright or other meta decks that throw in Spright into thier decks just because they can. Good I already farmed 3k gems together for event pack and called it a day. Funny i did not face a single Blue Eyes or DM player but I faced the Usual Dytron player that hide behind 10+ negates and Herald of Ultimate and faced one Gravekeeper and one Umi deck and one Numeron OTK.

Cant see anything but massive Spright nerfs to the next banlist cause those cards are way too good into allmost everything.

Not sure what people expected from Duelist cup besides the best decks people had. Its the literal point of the cup.

[Yerc2]

It seems like the majority of players take issue with the game's current coin-flip-decides-the-winner meta that revolves around locking out you opponent from being able to play.
But even among those people, some are still willing to tolerate the game in it's current state because this is the best medium to play YuGiOh*.

Whereas there is a vocal minority that actually thinks such a meta is healthy and good for the game.

It's kind of a spectrum though.
Is special summoning 30 times a turn to lock your opponent an issue?
How about special summoning 20 times to accomplish the same thing?
What if people special summon 2 times but still lock their opponent out from being able to play?
What if the deck isn't consistent? (meta decks are, but this is a hypothetical)
What if there is reasonable or consistent counterplay? (meta decks also lack these)

Each person has their own tolerance for bad design, and can think of ways to improve the game for themselves.
But even if this game has glaring issues, it's not completely unfun or broken.

I mean the Duelist Cup is pretty much just Ranked, but better. Most of the people complaining are probably people playing SIlver/Gold who now have to suddenly deal with Diamond players and all their Meta decks.

Personally, my Dueslist Cup experience so far has been quite enjoyable. In fact my first match was against D/D/D and it was quite fun. Since losing in the first 15 levels isn't really that big of a deal, a lot of people are playing fun decks at that level. For those struggling, just wait a few days for the Platinum & Diamond players to hit level 20.

I started from plat and its all been so weak that I feel kinda bad going so hard lol. People playing literal structure decks. Like surely they aren't just running into me right? They must be running into each other.
