Overtime Shenanigans

[Sacredragon]

So, in this Scenario...

Im playing Assualt and the team Im on is losing badly, but not enough for the game to end.

Our Moneyball is at say 25% and the enemy is at 100%, shields never went down for the enemy in the game.

SUDDENLY!!! Overtime kicks in and explosions are everywhere...

I shouldn't be able to use Juice and walk over to the enemy Moneyball and destroy it in a matter of 10 or so seconds from Sticky Bombs and the grenade launcher.

The team I was on won from only having 15%-ish health left on the moneyball in Overtime.

And I know theres a option to turn off the juice ability for the whole server, but I dont want to see that happen. I think Juice should be deactivated during Overtime because it becomes a dash to the enemy Moneyball and just Juice it up for the auto-win.

This also should be an option for servers, if they want to leave Juice on during Overtime then sure. But there could be other servers that may want it off just so you have to actually earn your victories instead of waiting it out for Overtime.

(My story is done, your turn)

Really you shouldn't have been able to if the team had an IQ higher than room temperature. If your Ball's HP is higher that means DEFEND. Yet most people go for an all out rush no matter the state of the ball. I've lost more games due to this brand of idiocy than anything else.

[SnarKs]

I guess your team is awesome for defending the entire game and then sending one team mate, YOU, to the enemy money ball and destroy it during overtime. While the other team was foolish enough to have no defense during overtime. :D

[Sacredragon]

They did have turrets though, a Level 3 Rocket Turret and a level 2 Rocket Turret next to the Moneyball, but I was above them where you come out of spawn and just ran around up there to avoid the missles, Juiced up n all. It just feels cheap that you can win like that, hopefully we'll get an option to choose to have it on or not.

[MaddPhish]

They had all the tools to stop you. You just used yours better. You out played them, pure and simple, nothing cheap about it.

sounds like a completely legitimate come back to me. you attacked at the right time and got rewarded for it.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Imagine people getting organized, this won't happen (or your timing has to be perfect). As for pub play, keep doing it so more people will learn about it and eventually try to counter it.

Juicing up and attacking is a legit tactic for ending the game

"Protip:All pros spawn with some juice in overtime"

See? They pretty much want you to juice up and destory the moneyball.

[Sacredragon]

Well then damnit people! Play better!! ^_^

It is true one gunner can just juice up and end the game in overtime. You cant really defend against a juiced player when they take like 10% of your original damage :/

[Omocho]

Overtime is meant to be short and quickly conclude the game, because it's clearly taking too long.
Otherwise jackbots wouldn't constantly spawn.
The other team could do exactly what you did, so it isn't cheap in the least.

Sure you can. You just need an assault to grapple him and tell him to get out of your house. Even if you don't kill him he'll be out of juice before he can walk back.

That gunner deployed? Then just unload into him. He's a sitting duck from behind. And why aren't you juicing yourself?

[shane3x]

Assassins truly excel in overtime. I love running into the enemy base, finding some obscure spot and then juicing it up with the shuriken launcher which does tons of damage.

If you can get a good spot everyone else is to preoccupied doing something else.
