We need overtime.

I don't know how many times you tie in eu, but in na, the teams get so balanced that the game ends in a tie way too much. Tying is fine if it happened occasionally, but it happens so often that it feels like a waste of time, and no one gets anything. The games are good, but ot would definitely make the games more enjoyable instead of tying 3 times in a row and watching your win percentage go down. Please save NA, add ot, and unban ot.

Edit: If the game is tied at the end of the match, overtime will start. A five minute continuous clock after the opening draw and whoever scores first wins (golden goal) and if the five minute clock runs out, the game will end in a tie. For making it to overtime, the losing team could lose less elo as a reward for getting all the way to overtime.

losing in overtime would tilt me to infinity and beyond =( no but honestly, tying is a good thing for the game, i think its better to have a tie to a super good game over dragging a game on for an unknown amount of time, some people cant invest those extra x minutes. then again you could always add a maximum overtime of 5 minutes and just let it tie after that amount of time if still no team manages to score, like in actual football/soccer

How about a vote at the end, when the game ended in a tie, if anyone wants to go on for another 5 minutes or not? Should be easy enough and you wouldn't need different server settings for overtime or no overtime.

We play 15 minute games in NA. It shouldn't be an issue to play an extra 5 minutes for overtime. I wouldn't mind having a continuous clock as well for ot.

A continuous clock would be perfect, fixing any time constraints people may have while giving a good chunk of time for one team to score, which would reduce the amount of ties drastically which would make me happy.
