I hate this format so much

Competitive

Look, I know this probably is as cold a take as any, but Jesus Christ man Just went on a five game lose streak, first opponent, I go first, full combo, get lava golem'd twice, lose Second opponent, I go first again, full combo, Sphere Mode, board gone, otk'd, lose Game three, go second, opponent is flips the stupid "you can't synchro" trap card, can't play the game, lose Game four, go second, opponent full combos with Utopia, they have more negates then I have cards, I don't draw dropplet or DRNM, lose Game five, I go first, triple lava golem, instantly surrender, don't even care what my opponent was on (I think they activated the wind DDraw? So probably lyrilusc, so I was dead anyways with one trap that was dead cause lava golem) Even the games I won sucked ass to play Won against a bunch of people that surrendered instantly on start of their turn cause I combo'd off and they couldn't deal with my field Or I had a way to get a single monster out after they lava golem'd Like, there's no interesting gameplay here, it's just uninteractable bs versus uninteractable bs but going second I know it sucks to go second in Yu-Gi-Oh normally, but this makes it suck to go first or second! It's just awful! I've gotten Lava Golem'd so much that now I just hope to lose the coin flip to go second so I don't have to worry about any of this trash And, like, I know I'm playing stardust (cause it's by far the best deck in the game rn) but I tried playing rogue decks and they couldn't do anything about lava golem anyways! Like, it's not just a meta killer, it just wins. There's no joke or commentary, it's just done, you lose no matter wtf you choose to play

Honestly, this just makes me want to go back to fucking farming npcs to try and get those stupid missions of "summon ace monster 100 times" Fuck this format, I'm just gonna do anything else until they get rid of lava golem (at least limit 3 the fucker and sphere mode too, this is just absurd) Gut the Stardust skill too, make it so the second effect can only activate when your opponent controls a monster or only when you have Crimson while also making it so you can't play the Centurion cards and summon the stupid Stardust monsters in facedown, and negate the signer dragons you summon with the second effect, idc, kill this stupid skill cause that's the one of the biggest reasons why these stupid Kaiju for 2 or 3 are seeing play

Sorry for the rant, I know this isn't fun for anyone, but I just needed to get my frustrations out
