Don't get me wrong, I love how teams took the Q&A ruling and used it to their advantage, but I feel this will probably be changed in future years (unless it will no longer be a true autonomous period).

I agree. Though if this is done, I would also get rid of hot goals - just make all auto balls hot (or not), since you still can't count on deterministic timing of the goals as of Champs.
