Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions has finally admitted what we've all known for years - the rules of Quidditch don't make very much sense. They make so little sense, in fact, that the new game is making two fundamental changes to its most OP component.
In the Harry Potter books, the Snitch is worth 150 points to whoever catches it, and also causes the game to end. One or both of those ideas is pretty dumb - in a game where every goal is worth 10 points, anything worth 15 of those goals is pretty invalidating to everything else that happens. Perhaps that might be fine if the Snitch didn't also cause the game to end, since any potential comeback that might have been on the cards becomes irrelevant. I'm reminded of this post, about how that might look in any actual sport.
