The opponents counter plays become relentless and you know the matches outcome is predetermined.
I play BoM, opponent effect negates it, I counter with Bottomless Trap Hole, spell card negates it, I then play my final backrow and their 2nd backrow negates it. Then I go to attack and the card in their hand negates it.
Then their only card, just drawn, gets them the win. You can smell the fix. Its painfully obvious

The fixes are depressing and Duel Links just isn't worth it. You start to lose and then you really start to lose. It progresses from close losses to several OTKs in a row and you never ever get the upper hand in any situation and then you start to forget what a win feels like, yet you were using the same solid Tier 1-2 deck yesterday and winning , but today youve won 1 and lost 14. It doesn't make sense. You are made to be frustrated and they try to give you a reason for you to want to spend money.

Its true. Something as simple as a Kozmo deck and I run into it 3x in a row and all 3x my entire monster collection is bottom decked. First 8 cards are all spell/trap....3 matches in a row vs a deck that can do double attacks. Your losses and meant to be and they hold some back intentionally to try to make money. Nothing plays out ever like any YouTube match Ive watched where they can decent draws.

As you raise in the ranks, the opponents obviously have meta decks, but the shuffling changes drastically. If the game decides you are going on a loss streak there is nothing you can do. Theyll give my opponent 2 continuous spell/trap cards that stifle my engine and then when I lose with 5 cards left in my deck, 3 of those are bottom decked Typhoons. The game prevents you from drawing anything you could use to possibly bounce back. The amount of times my 3 Typhoons have been in the bottom 5 cards is crazy.

The opponent will draw exactly what they need to bounce back, where that would've been a match winner otherwise. It happens way too often to be chance. The opponents will have no cards in hand and left with an empty field, draws Monster Reborn...same scenario.... Draws a spell card to summon all copies of a monster from graveyard.... Same scenario, draws card to use grave as fusion materials etc
Too often to not be set up

The result is already decided during matchmaking if you take the best option everytime available to you at the time.
If you have cards that would allow an advantage on Turn 1,you will be going 2nd if you are meant to lose. The trap/spells you will draw will come after it is too late to stop the opponents obvious plan.
A game designed as a card game of chance, but is actually just a predetermined and false simulation

You can see that its all fixed if you pay attention.
I draw Typhoon to destroy their field spell, the previous turns card they drew was sitting in hand waiting to add the field spell back.
Skip ahead a turn, they draw 1 card... The only one in their hand, I draw Typhoon again, destroy their field spell again, they play that card and put field spell back.
Your opponents will draw the counter to what you are about to draw and it will seem like they had it all along, but pay attention to their hand size and which card they drew then used. It always matches up with countering what you just drew and played.

I enjoy trying to build a Link Deck and the 5 staple cards in Link Revolution are in the bottom 15 packs. This is by design. Not RNG.

Everything is a setup. I have a combination to win on my 2nd turn with Infernity. I put Patriarch in the grave to keep the on field monster alive. Only way it gets destroyed is if the monster they summon has 4400 ATK or higher, HIGHLY UNLIKELY,and they immediately have the cards on their turn 1 to summon a 5k ATK monster.
Everything is a set up to create a loss for you, based on the options you have on your own opener to make it appear like unlucky RNG.
These things happen constantly like you starting with 3 backrows and an effect monster and the opponents deck is monsters that aren't effected by said effect or the backrow.
Its all fake.

Its rigged from the matches, down to buying deck packs for a card you need. The decks you face are pre determined and not real matchmaking. They set you on loss streaks of 15+ where you can't make a hand going first everytime even with a Meta deck and lose on the opponents first turn.
They want you to believe your deck is the issue so you spend money or gems and then you start pulling from a 200 deck pack where you need 3 specific cards and the game knows this so those 3 are the only SR/URs remaining with 14 packs left in the box. So youve now put 9300 gems into a box to try for any 1 of 3 cards and they are all on the bottom. Then the online community defends this as RNG which it absolutely isnt.
