I play slowly, and some players get annoyed at that. It might be beneficial if it showed on a coach profile an average time taken per turn. One could get an average idea how long a game would take between two players then, assuming average of 32 turns. I'll leave it to you to decide if its worthwhile or easy to implement.
All the best.

Not a bad idea, especially in Ranked so you get a feel for what you're getting into before you're knee deep in a 6 hour game against Endzone

Over the last 100 games... I used to be slow but not anymore.

It's true, JR used to be slow.

Now he's utterly glacial Wink

You could put a message in our profile yourself.

You could also play in the League division. I find that people tend to be a nit more laid back there.

I think in Ranked or League it would be beneficial, but steer clear of the Box if you are a slow player. There is the implicit 4 min rule but people will cut you slack for taking a piss or something.

The 4 minut rule is not implicit, it's explicit in the rulebook.

It's nice to let your opponent know that you play slow, although you're within your right to do so. The ideal would be less than an hour, with not so complicated turns taking 2 minutes at most, and when the situation gets tricky then you can take your time.

I personally hate it when people takes a lot of time to do simple moves.

My advise to play faster: plan ahead, think during your opponent's turn, consciously try to play fast, practice your tactical agility, and roll poorly

My advice to play faster is to try your riskiest move first, you know, because it's probably the one you will need the reroll for Wink
