OT fix for VCT suggestion

#1

cameran

Riot should rework OTs in VCT only to be less mickey mouse. The current format is very annoying as 2 rounds isn't a really big decider to see who was better at a certain map. As a result, I want to suggest these changes and see everyones thoughts.

Win by 4 rounds (by doing this, it shows that a team has a good understanding on how to counter people more easily)
Everyone starts at 0 ult points and it saves round by round
Spike defuses faster on OT (forces more exciting fights and less ability stall)
Time decreases to 60 seconds by Round 15-15 (need to make decisions better)

thoughts?

just do the cs overtime (3 rounds each side, first to win 4 wins)

3 on each side is the ideal but just for the sake of not blatantly copying CS
we put 2 on each side and first to 3 wins

this game is one of the best cases of why there certainly is an argument to be made for changing OT. totally undeserved win. NRG were good in this tournament and may well still have made it to the finals or to victory, but mibr beat them 41-36 across three maps while breaking kill records and absolutely demolished them on their own map pick. total fraud match.

you did overcook with the rules tho, could just make it so you have to be 3 ahead instea of 2, or model it on CS

this is def ur strongest case, in fact nrg won 7 out of 8 OTs, only losing one on abyss to fnc from 11-1 down or whatever it was. if basically any of the 7 OTs went they other way they woulda prob had to face g2 in lowers and would be out, so much luck went into nrgs run.

the current format doesn't need any rework, I'd just give more money so you're not forced to glasscannon op if you're playing certain agents.

please look at the stats, 2nd or 1st picked every region, yoru waylay most busted combo since breach tejo, its so obnoxious to play againt a yoru if its played well, YOU GET A FUCKING 10 SECOND INVINCIBLE DRONE AS AN ULT THAT WILL GET INFO NO MATTER WHAT, the best flash in the game (shouldnt be on a duelist), the best tool to get out of a bad situation (tp) and a clone to bait any sentinel util, and you are telling me this mf isnt good
