This!

We hate playing the same opponent in 20+ games as P2. Pls find a solution before increasing the limit.

I agree that sucks, but as a player in clever league I can't even move up in the leagues because I have so many inactive/slow games that winning however many games it takes to move up in ranks becomes very difficult

This is a problem with the point system and not with player speed.

No, definitely No !

If player A is able to win 50 games in a week and player B only 20 games in a week, then it is a speed problem, because player A was able to play much more games, because his opponents were faster than the player B opponents.

There are ranking mechanics like the "bonus pool" concept which make it so a more active player does not necessarily automatically get more points than a less active player.

Under the current system, yes it is exactly as you describe and to get more points you have to play more games and faster opponents. (Because under the current system the points are mainly determined by the absolute number of wins, not how well you actually perform.) I don't argue with that.

My point is the system shouldn't promote this.

can you explain the "bonus pool" a little bit? Sounds interesting
