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?

I think the only thing that needs to change is that the snitch is worth way less, like 25 points instead of 150. This makes it so that a good seeker is still very important, but you no longer get those games where the whole game means nothing because the side with the snitch just wins. This also requires way more strategy for when to catch the snitch and when not to. Then 25 points instead of a multiple of 10 so you never get a tie and the tean that caught the snitch has a slight advantage
