Why Everyone Is Quitting Yu-Gi-Oh! 

Exactly. It's nowhere near as flashy as they think it is, especially in Master Duel where the summoning animations for ace monsters are rather trash in comparison to Duel Links.

@@ShinoaReduxII And that’s why I play Links. That and all the characters and voices, just feels more soulful.

@@catherinebracy4332 Yup, I completely agree. It just needs to add a crafting system to the game and we’re golden.

@@ShinoaReduxII And easier ways of obtaining actual valuable items.

This right here

I wonder if this is the plan to get people begging for Rush Duels to come to the TCG?

3) isn't even a negative thing. The game being complex is necessary for it to be worth looking into. Games that are too simple are the issue. I'd say the real problem is the lack of TCG rulings database which makes everything turn into a case-by-case situation

Bruv is secretly a War Rocks player

​​@@yacine656official rulings database, please. More importantly, *CONSISTENT* rulings across the board

blame tcg ocg prices are good

Same. But sadly meta will always be a thing and that sucks.

this meta still sucks for casuals, seeing the same exact combo for 5 months isn't fun for anyone

​@@Ulquiorra_Cifer exactly even in master duel ranked i play against the same deck for 4 times in a row and the events are also like this now they aren't limiting the meta enough and too many generic strong cards are the one's that are most annoying

Wow what a rare and brave stance , glad you were honest…😐…npc🤦‍♂️

@@playerone2292 xD

The format genuinely is good

Agreed

@@apoocumber4164 copium

Having a lot is okay, having 1 is annoying.

One card combos and generic extra deck boss monsters make the game less fun.

the biggest gripe by many past players too.

this game needs a hard cap rule on 5 summons per turn

@@Bomb6A9Head this isn't happening at all. You just have to accept this is the way they want systems to work

​@@Bomb6A9HeadMaxx c

Half agree. I'm fine with like... one card Marincess combo that sets up an imperm and spell/trap negate that can also be meaningfully slowed down by one interaction. One card combos that effectively win the game on the spot (like where we're at right now) are a huge problem.

@@GG_Nowa infinite progress ultimately leads to meaningless pursuits. And then people leave

Yugioh has a lot of options to get creative. Most people are pretty degenerate when it comes to deck building.

I wish they would have heavier restrictions on cards I also hate 20 plus engines in one deck is stupid and defeat the purpose of even the decks win conditions

facts, every deck consisting for 50% of cards from the same pool as every other deck makes the game so monotonous.. That's why I play Thematic Yu-Gi-Oh, all decks sticking to a theme so that nearly every card you see is unique to the deck

Agreed Orcust and Skystriker come to mind.

I missed out on TOSS. I wish I didn’t, I played those decks years later and I found them fun. They each did something different and didn’t rely on the same generic extra deck cards, hand traps, and combos.

Daily reminder that the Yugiboomers are in the right. They have always been in the right, even if they're generally bad at explaining why they're right.

Know it's all about being the New Kaiba. (Buying the most over Powered/Rare Cards)

you're dreaming, buddy. it's time to wake up! it still is

while using the exact same cards for a quarter or even half of their decks

Problem with those formats is that the best Rogue decks become the new meta everyone whines about and then they cry to have THOSE decks banned too, and so on until eventually all the interesting options are gone and people are playing solitaire or go fish against each other.

​@@MarioLopez-xs3vc it's just Last Card Standing without the fun.

That’s essentially what smogon does when they create lowers tiers (UU: underused) so shetty pokemon can flourish, but some dumb people hate on smogon

@@shadowdraqon2479 plenty of people are only willing to battle in the game if it is only smogon, smogon players think they are the only way to play the game, (at least most)

Agreed, and I'd say it's also toxic for meta players. We gotta fix this problem

@@yacine656 100, every deck running so many of the same redundant cards from the pool of generic staples gets boring so quickly

Didn't we literally invent the forbidden/limited list to stop everyone from playing the same 10-20 cards in every deck?

Same. I quit in 2013

The game is the cheapest it’s ever been. Almost everything has been reprinted

@@TheFutureOfMenFalse. It’s more expensive now than it was years ago. Cards in general are more valuable now than they were 2017-2020.

⁠@@Nephalem2002@thefutureofmen is right. It’s cheap. U can get all the staples u need in one set.

@@TheFutureOfMen reprint mean sht, its just an illusion the cost remain the same since by the time stuff get reprinted they get either power crept or banned 2 months later

It's infinitely cheaper than Magic is.

Probably the most accurate way to describe Yugioh at the moment.

"b-b-b-but Takahashi didn't want money and prize hunting to taint the love of the game!!!" Meanwhile Konami making competitive decks cost a leg and an arm:

@@kashira-0 exactly like wtf

I would be less angry at the bad prize support if we had the OCG rarity system.

@@orga7777 same

There's tons of counters to them which makes it fun counter after counter to who is the better player

Getting really into Edison and HAT is what really soured me on the modern game. It reminded me how fun the game used to be when the power level of cards was more in line with the basic rules of the game.

Edison ist simply peak yugioh

@@geek593 HAT was awesome. The pace of the duels was just *perfect*. Sure, sometimes there'd be blowouts, but for the most part we had real slugfests.

@@geek593 same

Agree duel links used to be the last ygo format i liked but now all top decks are just good because of the op skill instead of the cards.

​@@kuroginava8498 Rush duels aren't terrible but even there as young as it is the signs of the same power creep are already there.

Black wing player right here with you

Dude Im still waiting for Vylon and Worms support, I will endure forever at this point

​@@ChuchoMonte23God I wish Vylon would get support

As a fellow Hero player, i couldn't agree more

Yep same here, ironically going rogue as a Hero

Be me A Lunalight player

And understand that if you buy cards you should be playing them or moving off of them quickly. Like SP little knight… you can cry about it being what it is, you will still cry when the reprint comes because it’ll be like 40 bucks instead of 100, when you could have been playing the card for oh 6 plus months now and gotten time into it rather than crying the WHOLE TIME 😂

Monkey ahh take

@@lowgs4659 😂😂

The class system in Shadowverse fixes this a lot. Different decks feel very different because they're pulling from separate card pools and only touching on the neutral pool.

​@@geek593 isnt portalcraft class like branded in yugi?

Hell yeah FoW baby!

You guys should try Lorcana!

What's FoW?

i honestly wouldn't object to that

@@ismailshtewi8560You wouldn’t object to Voiceless Voice go unopposed? 😂🤣

It would be the worst format of all time. Engines generating nearly endless amounts of advantage is the problem with modern Yugioh. Removing the cards that oppose them would break the game entirely.

Ftks would skyrocket...

then ppl would complain about 3000 negate boards

Yes this has been happening to all the big meta decks, but a lot of the other decks that are still fun like mementos end up being super cheap.

It’s true. I just built live twin spright as a f2p player and it’s gonna be unplayable soon.

tbf grinding dailies and events is usually enough to keep up

That's a huge thing, truly. In Magic The Gathering Arena I can spend ~200 dollars every 3 months or so at max and create 5-10 top tier and competitively enjoyable and fun decks to play along with many others. In Pokemon TCG Live, I can spend 100 dollars on code cards from a 3rd party and build any number of competitive decks for the next year or two depending on how frugal I want to be with it. Hell, if I go 200 dollars into any set I'm probably sitting pretty for a few years at least. In Yugioh, if I spend 600 dollars, I can barely get half of the URs I need for a trash tier rogue deck that I just want to play for fun that will never break out of platinum.

To be fair I still feel that it is very free to play friendly. Haven't spent anything in about a year and I still have more meta relevant decks than I can count.@@huevang5257

Well said. Current ygo is literally just negates negates negates put all negates to 1 and have some diversity

Whoever resolve a card first wins.

I enjoy playing with decks like Buster Blader, Dark Magician, Blackwings, Black Rose Dragon, Cubic, Predaplants, Rokket Link Dragons, Trickstars and these things

I hard agree

And then there where price cards like crush card or Minerva… Both sides of the coin are bs tbh

Digimon**

@@Falcon99-pm4lr I will try the digimon too!

New pokemon app for phone? and Digimon?

@@daigu2509 Pokemon is going to make a phone game a more easy to learn and fast paced. Like a Pokemon Duel Links

Developing sets where every card is a meaningful addition to a limited format would go a long way towards fixing our core set issue too.

MTG's standard is even more expensive than yugioh since ppl need to get whole new decks every couple of months

They'd be WAY more expensive, then crash to nothing the moment they get rotated out. It's the reason standard is dead in magic right now actually.

​YCS Indianapolis Top 8 Decks' mean price was about $703 and MTG Standard Top 8 at DreamHack Dallas had a mean deck price of $379. Though this is one example, we can estimate at worst a standard YGO could be slightly cheaper than its current incarnation.

@@Guilessf4 And this happens to be one of the most expensive Standards ever because of certain cards that shouldn't be in the format that should be rotated out due to age of their set still being legal and having too much overlap with other formats. Compare that to Yugioh where our decks are more expensive by default, have a chance of being butchered three to six months after release rendering them unplayable, and potentially reprint expensive cards the day after you buy them.

Tengu-Plant & Clown formats are amazing too

@Kingzaxa00 I like winning with rouge 😅and I’m good at it. Especially with spellbook dogmatika

@@JavierHernandez-vi9nc play against snake eyes at locals and post ur record. Go

Just wait. They all end the same

​​@@vm141789 TCG with card rotation will take forever to end up like yugioh, assuming it will at all

As a casual Links player, I dunno how I’d fare but that sounds awesome!

Synchros and XYZ were good fair mechanics pendulum I hated and Link I hated when it started because it limited the summons from extra deck.

@@brianrosado2333 honestly xyz and synchro was what i loved. when pendulum came out followed by link thats when i quit , on top of all the handtraps

❤️❤️❤️

Yeah I can see that but you kinda need it otherwise going first would be almost a save win with these decks nowadays….
