Or have the patience for. I'm not saying it' a bad system it's just a system everyone doesn't want to be a part of. I've been going around in Legends 1-3 because of all the bullshit I have to put up with. Win streaks destroy creativity because once a deck loses once or twice you can't risk another for fear of a rank down so you switch to a meta deck. Ranking down out of Legend to Plat literally means nothing as when trying to reach the top the loss streaks get more strict so you get stuck against a wall of not being able to go down but you can't get higher because of the bullshit.

I mean yeah, that and mill or any of the other cancerous decks. The only way to get to KoG is by having good RNG for the 6 game rank up. Most of the people posting recently have said that they fight Legend 1 people a lot in Legend 3 and they tend to use random decks sometimes. I hate that it's RNG based. It takes almost all the skill out of a card game that's supposed to have skill involved.

Like with the WCS itself the final match had a toon player brick insanely hard twice. That has absolutely nothing to do with the skill of a player.

When you beat Kaiba as Yugi in game he says "I lost against you? Heh, I guess luck plays a bigger part in this game than I thought" which couldn't be more true. Why go through the trouble of building a treeborn frog deck which will cost a ton of money when you can plow through people with a completely F2P deck like Red Eyes or Toons?

That's exactly the deck I love to run lately. Unfortunately I don't have the exact cards for it but I have fun with what I have. Plus it's unfortunate that most people say that once you reach KoG the game gets a lot more fun as far as PvP goes. But really it's just a time sink at those levels. Cause right now it's only worth it for the youtubers to get there to show off decks because they cant really show off fun decks on the ladder.
