i have to disagree with this xD what if you're facing someone with a edo hiruzen that takes a lot of your health right away, timer ends and he gets the win? Even though you can prob take him out on the next round no problem? Doesn't seem fair to me...

i would actually give the win to the person with the lowest power because most of the times whales just hit somebody to prevent somebody else breaking their streak, this way would be counterproductive to do so.

It should be just like when you're in the 10th round, nobody died but the person with more HP wins. Otherwise it makes no sense. It doesn't matter if you win 2nd round if at the time Sage ends you have less health.

Like really, why waste time on the last fight if it doesn't matter? And it is annoying when you're winning and don't get anything.

Because is not true that do not matter, if you are fighting then you cannot be selected by somebody that is able to actually nuke you in 1 round or at the early part of round 2, that way you can keep your streak high.

Also what about fights that end before anything even happens? I.e. while in the middle of buffs still being applied? Are you saying the win should automatically go to the team with higher total hp, even though among players of equal power thats rarely a determining factor in who wins the real fight?

It's fine the way it is. Getting one more win or not will not drastically change the results of most sages.

No, no, this is not true. Move 1 overstackers usually have totally hp lower than spreading defenses players so, if those people meet them they could cut their streak at the last minute and in the rush for first and second place this matters a lot.

that is a draw bro

I think it's fine the way it is. It's your call if you think you'll nuke round 1 and get a win or just if it's just to keep a streak in the last minute if that player is of high power. If their low power they just try hitting a guy they think isn't op to run from those kinds of guys since they probs have a high rage going and don't wanna be kicked last second. Those left in the middle won't really notice a change in rankings with +1 win if this was changed. If anything was to be changed in sage it should be how the points gain is decided for ending streaks, since the method currently used seems to be quite boring for high powered players as it doesn't pay to specifically go after streakers in comparison to just blasting the weaklings round 1 for getting bully.
