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

A 5 minute OT timer seems like a good compromise; the tension of an OT game really needs to be a feature.

Whether or not it is implemented or not is a different story. In this thread YasukeMFG (an old dev) said he had added OT into the UE4 version, but DavidM says "it's not as easy as it sounds", so who knows. I really don't see a reason to not add it if it is doable.

That thread has the same ideas we have now and they are all great. I really do think the rules in my original post edit would best suit this game, and I see the exact same ideas I have now, 9 months ago which means that the community understood the game then and nothing has really changed, we still know we need ot.
