Well the main issue is that they're calling it "Play of the Game" when really it should be "Who got the most eliminations the fastest" - it usually goes to a Bastion simply for playing Bastion.Nova! wrote:Because the POTG calculations determine POTGs by the most kills in a ~10 second timeframe most of the time. "Shutdown" POTGs and (I think) "Revive" POTGs occur when you kill somebody that has a huge killstreak (like 10 takedowns) or revive a huge part of the team as Mercy, respectively, though they're rare.
I hear enough whining about Bastion POTGs on the subreddit
For example, in the clip I posted, if I didn't pull off that ult, we were looking at losing. I turned the game around by clearing out most of their team, on the payload, in overtime, 3m away from them capping. Bastion shooting three dudes in a corner wasn't at all important to the progress of the game.
EDIT: I'm actually starting to think you might be wrong. I just got this POTG. There was a level 65 Soldier 76 in this game. There was all sorts of neat stuff going on. And what did it pick? Me doing this
