I so hate it when "insiders" mention that Tynon doesn't want to encourage a defensive style game-play. Truly, taking away half the fun and possibilities. Just ridic - treat defensive runes like all the rest.

I encountered a boss that just auto declared me as loser after 30 rounds - I had been spamming for quite sometime and was WINNING the fight. Then BAM - done - YOU LOSE.
Thought it was a glitch - Soon had another round end the same - Was WINNING but nope ... I lose.
Figured it was a round cap but not sure - and support clarified it for me.
I understood but still a bummer.

My major disagreement with it was, that at the end of thirty, why auto that I have to lose the fight?
Give it to whichever side has the most HP at the end of 30 rounds.
