LOVING the new Quick Pairing game options

Great job, Lichess developers. This looks fantastic. Longer time controls, which I think are essential to good chess, are better represented. THANK YOU!
I love it very much too!
This ist the most important update since the split to rapid+classic time control for me.
Me too, however, they should have at least included 20 10, since these are the time controls they use in the weekly classical arena and classical shield arena.
Usually, the most played time control in a rating category is the one with the shortest time played. This means that 30+0 is now going to be the most played classical time control.

To be honest: I'm really disappointed with that. I think the most played classical time control should have an increment. If I wanted to blitz out endgames I wouldn't be playing classical.
20+10 desperatly needed. Like in Arenas. Makes no sense that there is such a difference. Feels like incoherence...
Otherwise good change!
46% of classical custom games, had no increment.

As crazy as it seems, that's what the people want.
