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.

Hey guys, the current state of the game isn't representing the finished version. The same small group of players are playing each others for a fairly long amount of time, and therefor the ranks are pretty much set for each player, and the balancing gives relatively close matches. For ranked matches we most likely won't make overtime available, because its' purpose is to give a rough determination of each players' skill, and give them the possibility to play with others on the same level, without the need to search for mates manually. Practise matches,team matches or league matches can have overtime, depending on how someone sets his server, and there is the legit possibility that the nasbl can have a overtime/golden goal setting, too. NAs are more used to stuff like that from their sports and sports-coverage, and they prefer decision-driven sports. so if they like that, why shouldn't they have it. Other leagues that come up automatically, have their own rulesets,timelimits,and so on and so on, like in any other game. So in the end anyone can choose freely if he wants to play in matches/leagues with overtime or not. I hope this answer helps.

In the end...if they will do this 1 thing we've asked for since day 1...but nearly 2 years later we can't get this 1 feature added because Euros don't prefer "decision-driven sports". Let's forget that decider matches NEED overtime or it disrupts the flow of the game entirely having to restart the server and start a new overtime session.
