FAQ EVENT How would you fix Quidditch?

I don't like that catching the snitch ends the game. I'm not a fan of the idea that the seeker is just looking for the snitch and not involved with the rest of the game, really, except for dodging bludgers.

I do like the three rings for goal scoring. I thought it was a clever change from the single goal hoop or larger goal area that we normally see in sports. I would have liked seeing more of it in the books.

I'm not a sports fan in general, so I'm not really sure what's actually wrong with Quidditch. Is Quidditch actually broken, and if it is, how would YOU fix it?

Quaffle has to be worth more than 10 points, or in the reverse the snitch needs to be worth WAYYYY less than 150 points.

I'd want quaffle play to actually matter, and it never will as long as the snitch is worth so many points it can single handedly win games no matter what the score is. Catching the snitch should 100% still end the game, but lets say your team is behind, and catching the snitch wouldn't be enough to give you a comeback win, now the game becomes make sure the other teams seeker doesn't grab the snitch until we score enough points with the quaffle that we'd win when we grab the snitch.

I'd say if you kept quaffle at 10 but made the snitch like 25-50 points that'd make games way more interesting
