Best time variant for leagues?

Hello everyone,

I am trying to get to Legend league, and I was wondering, what the best time variant to play (bullet, blitz, rapid) was to get the most points.

If you don't know what leagues are check out this article.

These are the times and scores for each variant (only the shortest time for each variant is given) :

Bullet (1min) : Wins = 3 points, Draws = 1 point
Blitz (3min) : Wins = 9 points, Draws = 3 points
Rapid (10min) : Wins = 15 points, Draws = 5 points

If you consider things "mathematically", you'll find that, saying each game is played until time runs out for both players, in one hour, you can get up to 90 points in bullet and blitz, and only 45 in rapid.

If you consider "humanly", maybe you know that usually people on top in leagues play rapid, sometimes blitz (when looking at the global leaderboard, you will always find blitz and rapid at the top). There are two things to consider here : one, loading time (especially for bullet), two, the fact that, games are nearly never played until "time runs out for both players". In rapid, my games usually end when me and my opponents have 5 minutes. Re-do the maths and you will find that Rapid ends up with a maximum of 90 points. And of course, personal preferance & winrates matter too.
