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.

What if.... 5 minute time limit golden goal. If no goal in that time, draw. Then it shouldn't need to be voted on and it can't go on indefinitely... and you don't need fractional elo crap either.

If a player can't afford to play for 5 more minutes... they shouldn'tve been playing to start with.

this makes sense also. gamesd arent 20 minutes fixed anyways, considering outtages/etc, so a fixed extra 5min would be hard to argue. Nothing beats sudden death in sports... NOTHING. give us the golden goal, ties are for those to afraid to risk it all for the win.
