Too bad this game doesn't have a "Play of the Game" feature like Overwatch

I absolutely love it when I get PotG as Sombra and get to see her Hack another player's PotG animation. It's funny, and lets me know I kicked the most ass that game.

While it's impossible for Riot to add in a PotG system by this point, I still think it would've been awesome to have.

But what do you guys think? Play of the Game? Or would it be unnecessary?

lets not because in overwatch the match can last 5min and has a play of the game at the end and it can be pretty clear who deserved the play of the game but league can last 70min and it becomes a issue of how to decide who gets it. also no one wants to sit there after 50min game to watch a play of the game after a loss.

Let's also not forget that "plays of the game" could be heavily misguided. One good example happened about 2 months ago, where my team went into a 4v5 (with me at base, on a 350AP support lb) and all died but chunked every enemy to under 100hp. Using one good flank, I went q/w/r/w and nabbed a 3-second pentakill. Would be considered "play of the game", but would also be considered a "scumbag move" by many people.

No, simply because it's near impossible to judge plays by computer calculations, and also since people make their own montages anyway they can choose and select their own. Plus Play of the Game is relatively irrelevant to a lot of things in the game on simpler terms, e.g. I'm not entirely sure how OW's PotG works but in Paladins all you need is the highest multikill, and in LoL you can have like over 500CS and a meh KDA ratio OR terrible CS and a really good KDA ratio and still either impact the game a ton or not at all since every champion is different too. It's just too much of a thing for Riot (or anyone else) to implement

Pentakills and 5 man gnar ults CCs should be candidates if we ever get POTG.
