Play of the games seem to be getting worse lately! Without fail its almost always D.va or Bastion. Even if the play sucks, it still gets POTG. Other characters should have more of a chance, because ive seen great plays outside D.va and Bastion.
Who cares about POTG? Who even bother sticking around long enough to see it?
Potg is based on fire points
heroes that do more damage more quickly tend to get more fire and thus potg
I’m trying to remember the last time I stuck around . . . . I mean, there’s no need. If it was me, it’ll be in my Highlights anyway.
Bad POTGs are funnier though.
there’s been a few times i got potg as mercy just for 1 rez and some heals. I would class that as a bad potg
People watch potg? I usually just leave after the defeat or victory screen.
Does ult kills give less fire points? Just wondering because I thought that the POTG has to somewhat linger rather than just an instant quadruple kill and nothing following up.
Bastion gets it less and less the better you get in both QP and Competitive. I hardly ever see him get it these days.
There is nothing more valuable to us Genji mains than play of the game. NOTHING. Gold medals, high damage, winning, who cares about any of that baloney? If I get all that, yet don’t get play of the game, I’ve failed my mission.
Why?
probably not?
it should be the same
Then i guess it makes for it to POTG is fire points per minute, I think…
Well, for me, because if they’re my PoTGs then they’ll be in my Highlight section anyway if I care to view them. But either way, after 3+ years in the game, neither the PoTG nor the card votes matter to me anymore.
That doesn’t answer the why you’d always leave, in place of just letting the next match start
Oh, because a vast majority of the time, others have already left. So the next match isn’t going to start, it’s going to send me back to the menu screen and a new queue anyway. Might as well just get the ball rolling.

If you destroy tank mode bastion before he kills anyone, you get the potg.
Once went on rampage as Bastion, was killing everyone left right and center. The POTG was enemy Lucio booping me out of map the moment I pressed Q lol
Plus, if I am playing something like Mystery Heroes at the time, a new queue is damned near instantaneous. So, I’m already in a new match before the PoTG and cards even ended in the previous match.
Ive done that before lol. Not all ult shutdowns get potg

That doesn’t really help
Fun fact: you don’t actually get into a match faster when skipping the end of round flow (victory poses, POTG, cards, stats etc.). You don’t get entered into the matchmaking queue until your previous match resolves completely. Most people leave at “Victory/Defeat” because they think they are “speeding up” getting into the next match.
They’ve definitely changed that recently, because I’ve been getting queues that are literally instant (or like… 1-2 seconds tops).
