Increasing overtime length might encourage players to play even more defensively as they already have. It could be even greater risk. There will always be cases where players play so defensively that they prevent all troop damage for 6 overtime minutes straight. Spell, Miner, Barrel, Graveyard chip cycle decks will start to prevail more often, perhaps. Maybe it'd end in a draw after 9 minutes, wasting even more time than if the change never happened.

I have no opinion on Legendary cost drops, but I hear that SC might be planning on doing that sometime. Then again, I have no verifiable proof that this will be happening.

Why delete TV Royale? I hear level 1s are no longer plaguing the place. You can learn good decks from a single match.
