I propose adding filters to the online lobby in YGO Omega that allow players to narrow rooms by Banlist and/or Duel Rule.
Problem:
Currently, players must scroll through a large number of unrelated duel rooms to find a specific format. This friction is especially harmful to less popular formats (e.g., Speed Duel, Rush), where rooms are sparse. The result is wasted time, missed matches, and smaller communities being discouraged from casual play. Multiple players have expressed they want this feature ( Lobby filters based on Formats/Master Rules ). Even though tools like Guide to use YGO Omega - Room List with Filters (HTML) exists, it is not known by most of the community.
Banlist filter options (from presets):
Duel Rule filter options:
Benefit:
Simple filters would significantly improve matchmaking efficiency, visibility for niche formats, and overall player satisfaction.
This is a low-cost UI improvement with high impact: better discoverability, stronger communities, and more duels played. Adding these filters would immediately make YGO Omega feel faster, friendlier, and more inclusive for every format.
