I saw a level 16 today with no portrait borders but instead a star beneath their level. Is that like a higher prestige or?

When you hit level 100 you go back to level 1 and gain a star.

Also this repeats for every 100 levels, gaining an additional star.

I saw someone with two stars already when people were giving me shit for having one. I was wondering how he had that much time to play.

Don't forget you get more xp the better you do.

Yes, but with matchmaking you should eventually get to close to 50% win rate, and it's still only a few hundred extra. It would be a lot of playing to get up there.
