P is not intended to be “fast”. The whole idea for P is to be beefy and have high burst damage. The trade off is the speed. If speed is preferred, then it would be better to play another race (e.g. Z).
The issue with mass VRs and cannon rush being so popular is because players at the lower tiers have no idea how to handle them.
This is coupled with the fact that many newer players have no idea how to judge a battle in a glance to understand whether there is a chance of winning (or there is a need to pull back; this applies to cannon rush where they continue to attack while losing workers or not even pull workers where necessary).

But then players spend their time in forums complaining rather than practising. What we end up with is ‘skilled keyboard warriors’ that either:
- Are ignorant of the facts (but live in denial); or
- Have multiple accounts just to build their ego (by supporting their own posts; which I have no idea to what purpose).
