The Volitile Nature of End Game Score

I’m typing this on my phone during my 15 minute break at work so this will be brief, but I want to know what people’s opinion is on this observation. I’ve observed that the end game score seems to be more volitile than most give it credit for (in other words, a big lead in score doesn’t mean a complete blowout). I’ve played games were the score is 100-500, but the winnng team barely holds their points for most of the game or where the winning team gets wrecked in fights but rotates better winning more score. To keep this short (I’m nearly out of time) I’ve heard people complain that a score of 100-500 means that there is something intrinsically wrong with matchmaking, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. There are so many factors that impact end game score that it isn’t really a measure of how the match has gone. Think of all the casters that have stated that the score doesn’t reflect how close a match is. What is your opinion? Have you had really close games that the score showed a blowout?
