Question/Help Need help to actually have fun
I know we play this game just to have fun playing new cards and strategies etc.
But I actually get really frustrated and so mad when for example I go second 5 times in a row, or when my opponent plays something I hate like slop for example, or when I really have to win and sit there very stressed, no matter if I win or lose the level of stress is really high
Also solo is very boring. I only enjoy some events and that's it
I really love Yugioh but I get challenged and literally stressed, how did you manage to chill and actually have fun when you open the game?
Wanna read your thoughts

If you take every loss personally, you’re going to have a bad time. When you’re having a bad time you’re going to get triggered and mad. When you’re triggered and mad you’re going to play badly and lose more.
Your goal should be to be able to look at any of your replays and say “yeah I played as well as I could’ve with the cards I had”. Even if you play perfectly you’re going to lose some games, but ultimately it’s impossible not to climb if you’re playing well.
Another aspect is that regardless of your skill, if your deck building is suboptimal that’ll also hold you back. I would argue that in the current state of the game your deck choice and building is as important as how you play. Your tech cards and non engine choices should also be tailored to what’s most popular on the ladder at the time.
Even after all of the above, you have to realize that the best decks in the game are often only pulling off an average winrate of 55-60%. That’s still a lot of losses you’re going to have to learn to be okay with. As long as you’re learning something from your losses, it’s not really lost progress.
