I tried but my opponents did not play Nf3

Yes, on your level, #2. On my level, I get crazy attacking games.
#3 try again.

Imma stick to the London System for white and Sicilian Dragon for black on blitz/bullet

The proper advertisement should be like this:

Just try it out with black! 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 f5! *

* victory is not guaranteed

The Latvian is a great for any time control of approximately 45/0 or less, especially blitz. I'd be more than willing to play it.
