    Remove Overtime from Crystal Conflict

    Overtime is such an antifun mechanic that literally saps all skill out of the game. It's inconsistent at best, and total ragebait at worse. Losing the game and the enemy's about to win? Burst2win with a Dancer into literally any aoe LB and just win. Enemy has such a long respawn time that you've already won before they respawn.

    Seriously, it's a terrible mechanic. PVP is incredibly improved but if you're gonna have oneshot limitbreaks and absurd stunlocks, atleast design the game around it and don't have "lol you were losing but the enemy made 1 mistake during overtime so now you win" mechanic.

    You'd expect them to make a game mode that doesn't go into long overtimes since they claimed they want each match to be very short.

    Yet here we are. Most of the matches i've played go into long over times. What a mess, as usual

    Maintain control of the payload better and you won't have this issue.

    If the enemy team is just going to hard stall by throwing themselves at the payload one at a time, their death timers will eventually scale up to the point where they can't get back to the payload in time and they just lose. If your team is ahead and has full control when time runs out, there's no overtime and you just win. Partial control (players from both teams are on the payload but your team has more) isn't good enough.

    Keep in mind that overtime exists specifically to enable come-from-behind victories so the losing team has a reason to keep playing until the time runs out. If one Dancer-LB-into-AoE-LB team wipe was enough to decide the game during overtime, 1) the enemy team should have done that sooner, and 2) your team didn't deserve the win nearly as much as you think they did.

    People are already doing that the moment they lose the initial push to the crystal.
    Its too easy for one team to steamroll, and the steamroll team, always wins from the start, its impossible to break them off let alone pick a single player off from them, they just dont take damage but dish too much of it out the moment you get near.

    Man says maintain control better when the game doesn't give you crap for options to coordinate effectively nor des it allow you to run with folks you know. Respectfully, gtfo here with that mess

    If a teammate isn't listening to the hear piercing noise accompanied by the "Fall Back" message, they are not going to read the essay you want to type about needing to regroup.

    And fall back tells them that how? That's a blanket call out that tells them nothing and doesn't even need to be said if they aren't by a Sam.

    If that said Sam LB up then sure. So no.
