Master Duel has a huge problem when it comes to new players. Whether you play Ranked or Casual, you can easily get matched against someone who clearly has way more experience than you and a deck capable of basically ending the game on turn one or two.
I don't mind losing while I'm learning, but it's hard to actually learn when you're getting completely shut down before you can even play.
I understand the game is free-to-play, but that doesn't make the matchmaking issue any less frustrating. There needs to be a better way of matching newer players against people closer to their own skill and experience level.

Does the idea of starting a duel,
sitting here for 5 minutes while your opponent plays a chain of like 15 cards back and forth, and plops down a level 8 3000 attack creature on turn 1,
all the time sound interesting? (it's not)
Boy have I got a video game for you
