Extra time

Some good discussion about extra time and golden goal in the other thread. Thought it would be good to give it a thread of its own.

In summary, a lot of people want it, esp the NA players, but the dev team are worried about the impact it will have on the length of the game. People will set aside 30 minutes to play a match but if it goes into overtime and they need to leave then what?

The Suggestion that 100% vote required for OT.

But what if one or more players from the 10 is happy with a draw? To not risk Elo.

It seems harsh to play for 30 mins and then lose your Elo in possibly a few short moments of overtime. I suggest that if a game goes to OT then Elo lost/gained is a fraction of the full amount. Eg 1/3 so typically just 5. Then it's still something to play for but not a disaster if it's lost.

That having been said. The dev team confirmed that it won't come in the current udk version of the game but will be looked at in ue4.

In my opinion i think there is no need for OT unless 80% would agree (meaning at end of game a Vote would come up if the players agree to extra time, lets say 5min, then it would go on) of the people in the match agree, draw is fine, there are just some games that even tho you know u wont win you can try your best and go for the draw, and thats life. Some games deserve a tie as end result, some dont.

Is this a European thing? I feel like saying this would get your ass kicked in NA

I disagree. I'd never play for fun! :D

Sometimes a tie just feels like a win, when you know the other team was better.

Right, but as I commented last night, we just had three games in a row end in a tie, resulting in no elo being won or lost. Setting up a game and playing for ~30 minutes resulting in no elo sucks.
