The open beta seems to have been more of a server test than an actual beta of the game, so I suspect any changes they want to make they're saving for a bigger update down the line- probably the competitive update in mid-June, though hopefully it'll be earlier.
Needs to account for crazy last minute saves and environmental kills especially.
Someone in the Overwatch thread had a neat idea, and I like it. Have occasional split screen/two person POTGs, when it's clearly the combined effort of two players like a Zarya ult combined with a Pharah rocket barrage, it'll currently go to the Pharah for killing everyone, despite the fact that it wouldn't have happened if Zarya didn't black hole everyone in one spot.

It already weights the latter heavily enough that getting them is almost a guarantee of potg
It definitely needs to account for saves, though. Right now it doesn't seem to think knockback matters at all, even though there's plenty of situations where forced movement IS the best play of the game(zarya ult people off of a point so you can cap it)
The best play of the game I've seen is the first person perspective of a recently deceased Torbjorn running back to the battle.
The whole scene was him running in a straight line from the other side of the map as his turret got 2 kills.

To be fair, everyone knows about it, so it truly was PoTG
I got POTG as Toblerone once and all it showed was me staring at a health pickup, waiting for it to spawn.
amazing :vs:

Personally I think killing attackers and shit on a point should be a huge factor in POTG. What good is killing 5 people within 5 seconds if you just ignore the asshole on the point capturing it?

This issue would be solved if they just at least put the perspective on the turret when the turret is the one doing all the work.

But then that's not really a play, is it? If the turret is doing all the work it just shouldn't be potg.

The player must feel awkward as fuck after having this presented as "play of the game"

I had one like this yesterday, the tracer killed 4 people then stood next to a wall and use the default emote so the camera got a face full of ass.
Chat went crazy.

I agree. I've played as Lucio and clutch healed the whole team while we're moving along the payload and at the last second when it looked dicey, pressed my ult and we managed to fend the enemy team off and win but it gave it to a Reaper who killed two people.

Idk, POTG's seem more varied in release, I saw maybe like 3-4 non-Basion POTG's in my entire like 16hours of beta.
