No.

Play of the game sort of already exists. It's just optional now instead of forcing the match end to go on EVEN LONGER than it already has to.

Try actually playing the game, you'll find out that it does already.

Blizzard patented the PoTG system so they can't do it

They APPLIED for the patent, according to everything that I've read they have yet to actually receive said patent. And tbh, i'd be surprised if they got it, its waaaaay too loose a concept to be attributed to one sole person or source. Let alone the fact that similar concepts have existed for a long time before overwatch.

nemesis system was novel and pretty unique, while play of the game has been a thing in sports for decades (centuries?) so blizzard would basically be picking a fight with ESPN and every other sports organisation that uses the concept

This wouldn't be a problem if they let you leave at the victorty/defeat screen instead of forcing you to sit through the entire thing.
It's absurd they don't let you. Pretty much every other game lets you just leave as soon as the match is over but Rivals blocks the menus from coming up and you can't skip anything.

That's absolutely stupid. I hate how you can patent anything nowadays.

Not really. The only one cares about PotG was the person getting it. When OW added the possibility to leave matches before watching PotG, by the time it ends you always saw 1-2 people still in the lobby including the one who got the PotG. It's especially pointless for the losing team = they lost, they want to move on. There's no need to rub it into their faces more.

Rivals approach is good - there's a short MVP flash and that's it. Those who want can watch highlights on their own volition.
