The only thing that will change is how long the domination will last. Making the game longer in that case will only **** off the losing team. <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd--> That was always a moot point. Of course one team is better than the other, its like saying you shouldn't bother playing at all because you know one side is going to win anyway.
The key thing in the current version, is that you know the winner far too soon, within a few minutes, with little chance of comeback. Boost that up to 15/20 minutes with a chance of a sneaky return (so total time 30min) is what we're talking about!

Most people who are against lengthening the game or abstaining from voting for now is because as you say, boost it to the 15/20 minute mark, the question is how. We can't lower everyone's damage, nor can we just lengthen research time and hive time because it'll give the other team to end it faster with a base rush.
I don't see what's wrong with the length of the games right now. If a game ends from the 10-20 minute mark, that's fine, we get to play another round or even another map. Some people don't have time to play one round for 30-60 minutes because they are busy but still like to enjoy a full half atleast of NS.
