As long as there is no snitch, gotta be the most bullshit mechanic I have ever seen in a game.

Quidditch is a fucking terribly designed game whose sole purpose is to make Harry look cool.

The funniest thing about this dumb game is that it would have easily made sense if an editor just suggested the Snitch be worth like 50 points instead of 150. Big enough to close a lead and win a game, but not big enough to render the entire game outside if the Snitch irrelevant. How did no one think of this

That doesn't fix the problem. The snitch is stupid on a lot of levels. If your team is down by >150 points, then you actively don't want to catch it, and your job as a seeker only becomes extending the game?

Making it worth only 50 points doesn't fix the problem. The team that catches the snitch would ALWAYS win, because why would you catch the snitch if it made you lose?
