So if you play less than 1 second per move on average you will always lose to a prepared player. PLEASE BRING THIS BACK, we need 15 second HORDE where you will need to make 32+ moves just to mate white.

Wdym by lciehs? Lichess is already great for banning 1/4+0 and 0+1 rated for variants. Also, why don't you try to improve instead of just being fast and taking advantage of other's slowness?

The only step by lichess left for now is to ban 1/2+0 rated for variants, as lots of hyperfarmers are overrated by 300 pts.
I've seen many terrible posts but this one is the top of the iceberg. Both in terms of content and attitude.

All you want is to lead variants ad absurdum by reducing them to ultrabullet skills.

Variant ratings can't be split by time controls for obvious logistic reasons.

In fact, 1/2+0 rated should go out of the window as well! There are many hyper farmers and it is a major reason for rating discrepancies e.g. between standard and 960.
I have seen #1 play 1/2 + 0 for all variants, he was just switching. For example, when no one accepted 1/2 + 0 horde, he switched to 1/2 + 0 chess960, which I accepted. After a few games, he denied the rematch and went for 1/2 + 0 KoTH. I guess he really wants to play fast variants.

Now THAT is some fake news...

Seriously, though. Removing rated 1/4+0 and 0+1 variants was one of lichess' best updates, now we have to actually play the variant, not just flag it.
@Francis920 although i dont think there was too much farming in 0+1, but yea i do think it was good
although it's virtually impossible to remove farming as a whole.
i dont think we need another donald trump again. "I will america great again" "I will lichess great again"
