Knocked each other out are you crazy? Just 2 pro's trying to block it knocked Medoria out!, If each had fully connected Medoria might have died, and Todoroki most likely either dead or severely injured. The blast from just blocking it dang near took out the entire ring!
I could have seen it being a draw if there was no interference, but Deku's power is so self sacrificial that I feel like Todoroki winning makes more sense. I think it's also a stronger message for the show to send. Midoriya was willing to potentially lose it it meant helping his friend and he also prob felt insulted to have someone hold back when everyone else is giving their all like he said. Midoriya stays true to his convictions over winning the tournament.
On the one hand, Midorya lost the match. But in my view, it speaks to Midorya's character to help Shoto accept his quirk as his quirk. Midorya is the kind of person who would sacrifice himself if it means he can save someone. In this case, he saved Shoto from his father's grasp by helping him realize his quirk is his own power and not his fathers. It's symbolic in a way and man I love it.
Midoriya power is so sacrificial that that would have been his last match anyway, it makes sense that Todoroki would get the win even with the interference imo. The sports festival is not meant to simulate a life or death battle, it's a chance to show off that's all.
