Just ending the game would have been a good way to implement the snitch, tbh. It would have more strategy, more reasons to block the other seeker when you're behind. If there really had to be extra points, it should have been worth 10 points or something.
Yeah that's the reason quidditch is a dumb fucking sport. You can be wiping the floor with the other team, but if their guy gets lucky and catches the parking lot frog, it's all for nothing. They've won despite having played an objectively much worse game.
You can catch the snitch and still lose. I think the match in the book 4 World Cup ended that way before the Death Eaters showed up.
The snitch ends the game and awards 150 extra points but doesn't mean the catching team wins.
No you fucking can't. I know it happens twice in the books but it's such an absolutely convoluted thing. It's like when professionals will every now and then make careless mistakes. That doesn't make it a skill. If you're 160 points behind, don't grab it. That simple. The possibility that someone can drop a football by mistake before getting into the end zone is not some sort of strategy to plan around. No. It's something rare you hope for on the enemy team. If you catch the snitch, you win, because you wouldn't do it if you're behind by 160 or more points unless you made a very amateur mistake.
Lol stay mad
Bro is malding about a fictional game lmao 🤣
