Add Tetra League technical timeouts

[restive cliff]

Issue:
In long matches with opponents on a similar skill lvl it can take sometimes over 20 minutes after the match is finished in ft5 and even longer in upper ranks ft7.
Which can have the outcome of a loss in fatigue and fokus because there is only aboud a 5 second gap between games.

My solution:
Make a Hotkey that you can press up to 2 or 3 times per match that extends the time you have between games by 10 seconds or so.
It should be so, that if you press twice or your opponent presses to they stack.

just an idea, the balancing is up to you 🙂

upper ranks are ft7

"take a breath"-hotkey in tetra league matches

ops, thx

the idea’s not bad, but i think it should go through a vote if it’s repeated more than once or twice, instead of just limiting the amount of usages

Add Tetra League technical timeouts

these aren't called take-a-breaths

[flat flame]

I like the idea, however:

I have to admit, the game time is pretty fine IMO, my FT5 matches last something between 5-15 minutes, yes there are exceptions where it can be higher.

But I would hate it when my time gets more wasted, because someone decided to queue a game, while on low stamina.

ngl 20+ minute ft5s seem to requires specific circumstances. Where both sides do not attack enough and both sides focus entirely on surviving rather than trying to KO your opponents.

Like my recent matches of tiebreakers dont even get close . . .

I also I've abused 25-30 minutes ft5s and ft7s intentionally as a way to reach U rank in the past

Tiring out the opponent was the goal, just surviving and waiting for them to make a mistake

and die by a thousand cuts

this giving them a break so they can not get KO by their own endurance skill issue seems wrong to me

cause they should be able to attack properly and KO before it reaches margin time

what about 1 minute to wash my hand with hot water

[frosty summit]

like kez says

[covert hound]

if you're losing feeling to your hands that you need hot water to feel them again

i suggest going to the doctor

than worry about playing block game and needing 1 minute breaks

[limpid thunder]

its cold

[covert hound]

Assuming you're healthy, it's likely posture issue

if your arms are sloping up cause you have a tall desk setup short chair setup fix that . . .

if not then it might be nerve issues and you should see a doctor

[limpid thunder]

no like my living room is cold and my hands only cold when i scared

[civic jacinth]

I have the same where sometimes my hands get cold mid game

and i have to warm them on my neck between rounds

[normal socket]

I mean you can calculate break time based on the round's length

[visual abyss]

I would personally like to see a timeout functionality in the game too. Doesn't need to be to wash your hands or what not as said above.. sometimes you just need few seconds - for any reason. A 30 sec or even 20 sec timeout once per game/player wouldn't be something crazy. It exists in most multiplayer games too, i highly suggest it and would like to see it in the future.

[visual abyss]

anyone care to add an opinion around this? @here

[timid bone]

yeah, sounds well

why not

[amber junco]

I like the idea being implemented with a vote/"do you agree" but I have the feeling that either:
a) it could get to the point where the players have been so focused on the round that they just forget to utilize this, or
b) this would need to be implemented with its own small break to give time to the other player to respond to the request, enabling its abuse
