my idea for a new tye-breaker would be somewhat complicated but very effective.
at 18 minutes, all the NPCs would walk to the flagstand. this would create more damage at the flagstand but no more monks at the flagstand, so the game will end more quickly. also everybody would do more dmg and have less health
at 20 minutes, if the game is still not over, the guild lords will even walk to the flagstand! when they get there, they would start to fight each other and all the NPCs would attack the enemy guild lords.
this idea would help speed up evenly matched games and couldn't be abused or create boring defensive styles of play, so imo it's pretty perfect.

What the f**** are you talking about`? - The last thing there is exactly what the VoD was before oO And the part but no more monk at the flagstand you mean a bunch of stupid npcs should decide the match? That everyone just stands behind and wait law, seriosly hope u mean sarcasm here oO

I've been in one match that went to 28:00 minutes. Stop being horrible and kill the other team. I don't see why the tiebreaker needs a change.

The heart of the issue. We used to do alright, but now don't, so we are going to blame someone other than ourselves.

I agree too, the new system without vod is much more fun to play. Maybe Gl walking alone at the flag stand at 26min would not be a bad idea though.

I haven't thought long or hard about this but I think the tie breaker would be better if it took into account damage accross all players and npc's too not just the guild lord, and actually counted damage mitigation properly rather than counting it as damage but not dealing the damage to the target.

This would mean builds like kappa spike would fail at the tiebreaker if you weren't able to win the game with your gimmick beforehand, unless you somehow managed to do more damage than the other team, and there would be no need for crazy 26 minute lord rushes.

So, why isn't tiebreaker just the Morale Screen in total? Shows who dominated the match pretty nicely.

it still needs some tweaks, but no VoD is still better than 18 minutes of wanking to let NPCs win the game for you ...

Practically everyone here has said the same thing: NO MOAR VoD!
