CS2 OT vs Valorant OT and its impact

#1

Man honestly CS2 finals always fucking deliver. 2 grand finals in a row which were so damn good, mouz v vitality 2-3, falcons v vitality 2-3. Valorant finals are usually pretty anticlimatic, the only 3 I can think of that were close and were hype af were t1 v g2, fnc v loud and optic v loud, shit isn't that fun.

I chalk that upto the OT. Single round OTs are absolutely shit and need to be replaced, they do not decide the game either because any team can get lucky and win a round. 6 OT rounds are much better and I feel like valorant would profit with something like that, especially considering the valorant economy is much better than the CS2 economy. The OT also needs to allow teams enough money to buy for said rounds, fucking buying Operator with no armor and only 1 ability is fucking criminal because that doesn't allow the teams to showcase their full potential. Please get this fixed rito

honestly they should switch to that, it has no downsides afaik
but it would seem like straight copying i guess? but i dont think riot care about that

mr12 has been run in CS 1.6 and source at official tournaments before it was settled on MR15, let's not act like val devs were the first to come up with mr12

mr12 was used in cs1.6 and was introduced by valve before riot used it for valorant, if anything riot copied everything valve did for cs, not to mention the fact that they copied the whole game aswell.

atleast it will give a proper winner and not fluky wins, while at the same time being much more exciting.

They probably don't want it because of the Tech issues though, they're equal to 5 overtimes anyways, LOL.

The thing is if we do it like cs, let's say we gave all players 9k with 3 ult orbs needed to get their ult. The winning team would have at least 1 ult to work with next round. Then they snowball with the ult for the 2nd round. Winning it giving them the other Ulta for the last round. Then the team that wins the 1st round would be heavy favorites. Cause vlr is a bit snowball heavy so unless they twerk something a bit, I still prefer this kind.

maybe mr4 OT with 9k for each team, 0 ult points would be better? So that means 8 rounds in total, 2 more than CS2. That way you aren't copying CS and are making things much better?

hot take but i love valorant OT and the table tennis style, prevents boring shit like saving in OT and its always exciting to watch every round because teams dont know what guns opponents have, and every 2 rounds is a match point which is so exciting.
