Remove Overtime from Crystal Conflict

[LeonKeyh]

I wish overtime didn't typically last as long as it normally does, but I feel like that is because they don't do a great job at communicating to everyone what their goal is once overtime starts.

I think it would go a long way to have some sort of pop up whenever overtime starts

You win by: Pushing the Crystal more than XX%

You lose by: Having your team outside of the crystal


or

You win by: Getting the other team out of the crystal

You lose by: Letting them push the crystal further than XX%


etc. I don't know if that would help that much, but I feel like that is at least some of the reason why it lasts so long.

I had a match of 13 minutes (no joke) because of overtime. I mean it's nice to rack up more than double kills of the next best person but come on.

Absolutely remove overtime. Matches would be far quicker and more fair.

High end ranked probably could be the exception. But for unranked/casual absolutely remove overtime.

So remove overtime and make all the people just quit at the last minute and letting enemy push cause there is no time to make it to the % that the enemy has? No thank you

Yep, no overtime means quicker matches. You lose one match, no problem you queue into the next. Better that than spending 10+ minutes trying to recover a doomed match. Plus the overtime mechanics are communicated extremely poorly, like everything else SE does.

I'd rather lose a match decisively in 5 minutes than spend 10-15 or even more minutes trying to claw it back and praying for a miracle.

At high rank levels, the overtime can stay though.
