Turn timer needs to be changed ASAP

Options

I just started playing this game about a week ago "competitively" on ranked mode, and this timer is absolutely horrible. I've lost a few too many games from being robbed of my turn.

(I finish most of my games with about 20 mins left, so no, I'm not one of those players who take forever between every action)

How can anyone play this competitively when you have like 10 secs between your actions to decide what your next line is. Sometimes, your lines aren't exactly clear and you have to actually think about things and how to sequence things, especially a game like Pokemon.

Coming from a competitive magic background, this is just horrible and I have no idea who the genius behind this system is. It needs to be increased by another 10 secs, or change the whole timer system to something like Magic Arena.
