There is a specific, crushing psychological weight that settles over a player when they enter the Overtime phase with a massive disadvantage.

Because Overtime is sudden death—the first tower to fall ends the game instantly—a massive health advantage can be erased in a single, catastrophic mistake.
Exploiting Overconfidence
The single greatest weapon you have when facing a massive health deficit in overtime is the opponent's own psychology.

This is your window: a perfectly executed counter-push can travel across the map and destroy their full-health tower in ten seconds while they helplessly watch their elixir bar refill.

This means completely abandoning your own defense, accepting that your tower will fall in a few seconds, and throwing absolutely every drop of elixir you have at the enemy King tower.

These base races often result in literal photo-finishes, where both towers are destroyed within milliseconds of each other, decided by the game's internal server tick-rate.

Winning a match in sudden death when your tower was sitting at 1 hitpoint for an entire minute is a memory that lasts forever.

The arena rewards those who refuse to break under pressure.
