POTG in League?
What do people think if Riot implemented a "Play of the Game" in League? GOOD or BAD?

If they could pull it off that would be pretty cool. Unfortunately I don't think they could pull it off.
Games like Overwatch that have a Play of the Game system have a much simpler gameplay environment. They can fairly easily weigh certain actions, and have a short clip that shows the highest score gain from those actions. In League there are a lot of things that are very important to playing the game successfully, but don't make for a good "play". Split pushing can single handedly win the game if done correctly, but that can't really be condensed into a small clip either.
Basically what it would turn into is a clip of the largest multikill, or an Ace that takes place shortly before a large objective, or within the death timer of a nexus explosion. It's not quite the same as it is in other games, so I don't think Riot should bother. Instead I'd like to see a commendation system, where it points out things that contributed the most to the victory, but otherwise might not be noticed hidden behind the end of game stats. There doesn't have to be any real rewards for it, it would just say "out of everything you did this game, this right here is what you did best".
