If inread all this, if i take a view over the duel links division, i must say, konami 🔥ed up the real game. There is a ban list of cards (for certain reason), whick are banned for being overpowered in combination with other cards, exactly to avoid 🔥 like 3SD etc.. but, now in fact, short before WCS start, those 🔥s bring paradox brothers with 3SD skill out, which is making ppl, who don't have 3dm, 3cv and other cards simply useless and hopeless formtze finals. Also ppl are using cheats and abusing bugs during the qualification.. i mean, this Championship isn't serious as it should be, it looks more like a random party for the nolifer community. In common are same 3 decks: 3SD, HHG and insect burn/GK.. now let us count, how many other heroes are there and how many other cards are available, but useless because of those 3 immortal combo-decks. As example, lets take Bakura.. Bakura is the perfect heroe based on perfect tactictical gameplay and strategie, but is useless against every of them i'v called above. I tryed hard to get up to KOG by using any other deck, beside 3sd, hhg or burn/gk deck, but it is impossible. Up to kog i got as HHG and kept plying as hhg or 3sd and i must say, after 4 days of playing like this, i got bored of it and i am going to leave this "wannabe"-yugioh game, since the mobile version is just a japan joke.
the 3 deck types are OP i know but im not a meta guy and made KoG with a Kangaroo/ Oz deck without spending a dime. It was hard but in the end im happy to say i dint reach with the real meta 🔥 + i have a decend 55% winrate in KoG.
I think skills make the game better personally but I also think a couple skills should have been nerfed that weren't. Namely hhg. Maybe make it 🔥 face up spells and traps only.
Would you say econ is the number 1 best card in the game pound for pound. I think so unless they add a card that lets you flip back and continue attacking.
I have 3 mirror wall and I'll tell u it's useable up to mid gold then after that people won't attack in a situation where they will leave their field open after mirror wall. It's a great card against crap players. But it's not that great against good players. Econ and kuriboh are far better defense cards.
The thing that makes kuriboh a beast is that you never know if the guy has him or not and that he can't really be destroyed by meta methods like storm and hhg.
Yeah.. I made a TSD Dark Magician deck. I couldnt get KoD. I've spend the whole weekend going from platinum 2 and 3...
Most of the time I faced those 3 kinds of deck (plus clown control), and I must say that in the end its just counting on luck, not skill. Before the fight starts you can never garantee if you're going to win on lose, it's all luck. I'm probably quitting too
