I support this. The point of ranked play is to be indicative of relative skill in the format. TCG/OCG pool from the DN days was removed from ranked play because it is not indicative of play in any real format. Neither are ranked singles. I'd prefer all rated play to be best of 3's and for the choices to be between the TCG and OCG formats.

I don't. Just let people play singles in peace. There's no issue with it, so let it be.

Rated is supposed to represent the competitive nature of a format and the events that occur within it. The TCG/OCG rated pool was removed because it didn't do this since there are no official TCG/OCG tournaments. Singles also do not do this as there are no official tournaments that are hosted with singles instead of matches. Singles are also far easier than matches and to lump a singles player onto the same pedestal as a match player is almost insulting. I fully support the abolition of rated singles and the introduction of separate TCG and OCG match rankings.

No one would have their 'right' to play singles taken away from them either. There's unrated for that.

The only option I see that is conducive to "ranked" and the spirit of competition via Official YGO would be solely TCG and OCG Ranked Matches.

Well that's all fine and dandy, but what's the "Positive" side of removing something that doesn't "cause problems".

Why not just add a OCG rated pool and let singles active?

I play a lot of singles and i can say that singles serves no purpose in rated. Rated is supposed to simulate tournament play. However there are a bunch of freaking morons who go into singles and troll with a solitaire deck since it basically gaurntees them game 1 with no sideboard to oppose them. A person could make a good exodia deck and get top rankings if they go first as long as droll doesnt get dropped on them every game. Solitaire decks and anti meta are what dominate singles while being absolutely shitty and pathetic in matches. I'm tired of seeing things like stall burn and nurse burn players who have high rankings in singles call themselves good players.

1. If they call themselves "good players", get over it. It doesn't matter what they think if they cannot properly represent their Deck in a tournament display online. It's the goddamn internet. This doesn't require you to remove Singles. People might be idiots saying that, but in the end it doesn't matter.

Not everyone actually has time to or even wants to play matches. The current system works, no need to change that.

most beginners join singles to test their casual decks and people taking advantage of it to gain points... it can stay in pool so you can find people randomly but it should not be in rankings...
