Re: The New Endgame

Completely depends on the game. Personally I think the reason there was no endgame this year was because a single score could create a giant point swing, often changing the match. That is honestly one of the biggest reasons for having an endgame in the first place: making it so that most matches aren't over until the buzzer rings. Imagine if there was no endgame for the last 3 years. Matches would get pretty boring once one alliance started to gain a significant lead, and there would be no excitement leading up to the end of all but the closest matches.

I honestly don't care whether there is an end game or not, so long as the point swing is still possible. I think the GDC should be making this decision based on the game, not basing the game around this decision.
