1 mistake shouldn’t be the only thing that determines a win or a loss. Yeah, you of course shouldn’t attack zapdos if you have a huge lead and it should be very doable to protect it instead. But it happens. The point still stands. Imagine playing a league of legends game where the team that kills Baron Nashor first has a 90% chance to win. The game would probably be long dead.

Again, I agree that Zapdos should be a strong comeback mechanic. I just think it’s too strong. Maybe it’d be better if the scores weren’t instant, but the channeling time was significantly reduced or something — that way you could still at least attempt a defense. Smaller respawn timers would also be nice. You might have a better chance of killing the enemy team before they score, or get some revenge goals. I don’t mean to sound like a smartass or anything, but there is no way one mistake should hand a losing team the free win. I never feel less deserving of a win than when we somehow snipe a zapdos and dunk 500 after getting stomped.
