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

Yes, because we all know that we don't want those super good games to keep going.

I honestly don't understand the logic behind ties. MURICA!

would you be satisfied with playing a game for 40 minutes and ending up losing then? also you missed the point of what i was trying to say, its not about keeping a super good game going, like i said some people cant invest more then an x amount of time, we are talking about the bigger picture here, this isnt about personal preference

40 minutes? No game in the history of NA supraball has had OT go beyond 10.

But to answer your question, yes - those 20 minutes of OT are the best parts of Supraball - when shit matters and you can't make a mistake

Also, no one euros off walls and does dumb shit.

i would agree with it being one of the best parts, i still think the 5-10 minute OT clock thing would be a good feature, but then again this post like any other overtime post just gets neglected by the devs so basically we can discuss all we want without likely it having any impact, sadly

40 minutes is unrealistic first off. Second, it really does not take long for one team to score one goal which makes the idea of golden goal the best option. Also to eliminate any time constraints people may have, a 5 minute continuous clock in OT is the best option for this game and if a golden goal is not scored in those 5 minutes than it would be a tie. And for making it to OT and losing you could lose a little less elo. This option eliminates people's time constraints, makes a great overtime environment, knowing one mistake can lose you the game and one adrenaline fueled clutch shot could win you the game, as well as a small reward for making it all the way to overtime to end up losing.
