    It does gradually ramp-up towards the end. You start off with slims 2 to 1 against blackjacks. By the end you only have waves of blackjack and then jack bots. Everyone is more powerful by then if they know what they are doing, and it is time to end the game. Drop the ball and go kill it.

    If you are leading in regulation, you should be able to out-rush them in overtime. Usually the team with map control wins. Have your tank, sniper, and support rush their ball, and have your assassin, assault, and gunner harass people on your ball. Have your assassin grapple them while the gunner shoots them, or have your assault ring them out with a bomb or charge. While this is going on, your rushers should be in their base.

    Don't give me real advice, I want to cry about how the game is unfair because I'm not good at video games.

    I'm not arguing about it being fair or unfair, winning or losing. I'm usually one of the people waiting to unload on the moneyball with juice right when time rolls over.

    I just feel like it could be handled in a more interesting/fun way.

    But it isn't going to change. So learn to use overtime the way it is or gtfo. I mean I see this arguments as you taking your average car into a garage and asking them to make it into a sports car, it simply won't happen. You can improve your car, you can paint it different colors, you can keep it nice, but you Ford Focus will never be a Mustang, you are stuck with the Focus now, learn to enjoy it.

    I really don't want a 30min game of crossfire though.

    I'll second that. I don't even really want to do 15-17 minutes. I would prefer a heated game between 7-11 minutes long and keeps moving along.

    Yes.

    I never said anything about his ability, nor did I attack him. Disagreeing with someone is not the same as attacking them.

    I'd much rather overtime be where BlackJacks ignore other BlackJacks, pros, turrets etc and just make their way to the moneyball (Like they do in Blitz: Fire/melee/closeline while they walk towards the moneyball).
    If your turrets and pros are doing their job, they'll take them out before they reach the ball.

    As much as I don't like overtime and wish that it would be changed, it probably won't be. Maybe Uber will change small things about it, but the main thing will stay the same. We NEED some way to solve ties, and this is a quick way of doing it. One of the pluses of overtime is that it ends the game really fast, so you can move on to a new one.

    The bottom line is that it's probably not going anywhere, and it doesn't last very long anyways, so it's not that big of a deal. If you're tired of losing because of overtime, you only lose $1000 towards lifetime earnings. The main thing is that you got to enjoy 15 minutes of the game.

    But the game would never end that way...

    Why is that? Pros can still juice and take out other pros/turrets/BlackJacks clearing a path for their BlackJacks. Then once their Jacks take down the shields... Juice rush it. Done.

    How would the bots not stop for the enemy bots? They can't talk through each other and would end up just smacking into each other in the middle making a huge cluster ****. I mean that is what I see happening with your suggestion.

    That only speeds up the lanes some. It would still take forever for the game to end. I'm assuming that both teams are equally matched, so they would still defend the lanes equally.

    The more I play MNC the more I realize that any sport with only a single method of scoring is greatly flawed. The problem is not that OT is bad, it actually stems from the issue that the only way to score is to destroy the Moneyball which also ends the game. MNC is a fun game but a greatly flawed game as well. Juice rushing merely counters this flawed mechanic.

    Juice rushing seems worse than it is right now due to juiced players randomly healing to full.

    Once that little bug is fixed and juice dispensers are on a longer cooldown, juice rushing won't be as big of a problem. Juicing will be for special tactical situations like it should be.

    Wait till the patch. Then we can revisit this if its still a problem.

    How do you win in MNC? How do you win in Basketball, American Football, Rugby, Football (Soccer), etc.? The point being that sure a game could end 1-0 in certain sports but most games are built around scoring multiple times and in different ways.

    MNC is a parody of real sports but lacks any depth in terms of how you actually score. It has the illusion that earning money wins you the game but in actuality you only win by performing one specific action. Consider destroying the Moneyball the 'Golden Snitch' of MNC. As a sport MNC lacks a 3-pointer or a corner kick, there is no field goal or drop goal. MNC is a game where the only way to score is a 'touchdown' and the first team to score wins the game; it lacks depth in scoring. Note that MNC has a ton of strategy but it's not like you are going to attempt a field goal instead of going for the touchdown because you simply cannot do it.

    Do you always take general statements to single you out personally? You must really struggle to reply to all of the posts on this forum, let alone all statements made on the internet. In response to your first post, I would like the Devs to reply.

    Did you, as developers, create overtime with the thought in mind of it being not fun?

    I tend to make general statements because I don't like to read paragraphs on forums, and I assume people wouldn't want to read a lengthy response from me. I do enough recreational reading already, and I don't want to read why person X thinks Y is overpowered in 3000 words.

    I THINK the devs put overtime in to end the game. Plus, I find overtime to be fun. If you don't, I'm sorry.

    There. I put the training wheels on my post just for you southsidesox. Also, if you don't want something responded to, don't post it in the first place.
