Valorant OT

If anyone watched the EMEA today, the match between map 1 BBL and FUT was the longest recorded tier 1 map in the EMEA since the start of competitive Valorant, a whopping 25-23 for BBL. Twelve overtimes were needed. My question now is, is a rework of OT needed to avoid stuff like this in the future?

Loading...I Think the overtime we have now is a Good Version, because it is Fair for Both Teams. I know it might take some time to get a winner but i dont know how you want to create a Overtime wich is shorter but still fair for Both Teams

Loading...@Franky Its not rare enough imo While this many might be rare current OT doesnt allow for clever tactics its just who shoots better with full buys :pain:

Loading...Idk, but the heartbreak FUT mustve felt, coming back to lose 23-25, and then coming back again and losing 11-13

Loading...@citrus_ For real if they dont mentally recover from this, this one series ruined their split. The OT alone lasted longer than most games :nani:

Loading...I’d say occasional extended OT is fine, but when you hit double-digit OTs it becomes way too much. I have couple of ideas but not sure how realistic they are. 1. Cap the number of full OT cycles, then trigger a “golden” tiebreaker: e.g. after 2 OTs, play a single best-of-5 pistol-round sudden-death (each round one pistol per side) or a single “mini-half” of 5 rounds each side, side-switch halfway. 2. CS:GO–style OT. You play 3 rounds as T, 3 as CT (no econ resets in-between), then repeat if still tied—so each OT is 6 rounds instead of 4. This reduces restart overhead and gives more breathing room without going infinite.

Loading...@Khachig OT now 2 rounds btw 1 attack and 1 defense The problem with uneven OTs is ppl will say one team has te advantage bc a map can ne attack or defend sided

Loading...@Khachig What about instead of Overtime Both Teams has to Play a Round Spike Rush to disceide the Game. I know it would be more Chaos and less Tactical but also much fun to Watch

Loading...@Khachig Ich quite Like the Idea of caping Overtime and do a Like Golden Pistol round But to make ist Equal i would say do a Classic only Round with halfshield and alles abilitys up. But no Ults because ults would be to strong
