How long should matches last? Is there a minimum and maximum to what is tolerable?

A good (balanced) match should last around 30-40 mins.
imo
Sudden death shouldn't be the normal way a match ends, so I think with SD at the usual 30 minutes, 20-25 minutes should be a good average duration.
VOIP Chat seems like a really good Idea.
As long as it is able to be muted/moderated by an admin.
I'd prefer pub games to be around 20-30 minutes. Scrims would go on longer. 30-40 min, as Khaoz said.

Wouldn't building, attack and defence be better? Offence doesn't really fit in…

Ah. And there we have the offence. :)
so we can say minimum 20min average 30min and maximum 40min ?

Don't presuppose the existence of sudden death. That should be a separate question.
I think that it's fine as is, given SD.

That sounds ok. I'd prefer matches be closer to 20 mins but I don't think we'd be able to cram all 3 stages into that time slot.
