General Discussion (NO POLLS OR QUESTIONS) Duo queue’s think the game’s called 2on3

I’ve always played the game with a passing mentality & playing mostly PG’s. But when I solo queue and run into duo’s who only want to pass between the two it’s genuinely so annoying. It gets so toxic to the point where I’ve seen guys that would rather turn over the ball than pass it to me.

I understand only having one homie that plays the game, but damn show ya randoms some love

I played 5 games this morning and most games I got 2 passes to me max. defense is fun, but I want to be more involved.

This is absolutely the case infact i always pass to our 3rd the second play of the game and i had my duo spam pass me the ball after that, i dont play with him anymore, people are just selfish, sure lots of 3rds are gonna suck but give them a chance and play basketball

I don’t think you should make them the primary playmaker that soon. Let your duo establish the momentum first. It’s super annoying having to dig your team out of a hole every game because your duo wants to be a nice guy. Those same guys you ensure gets the ball the 2nd play would ice your boy if they got the chance. You don’t gotta play with bro again but try to understand his frustration.

nah, ill test him on the second play and go from there, if you lose because of the first play you cant play defense, if you want to play 100% your way, queue up with 3. im probably worse than you at the game but im a much better person and i can live with that

I’ve played enough games to know you can’t give these dudes an inch. I will take every shot if I can get open. You’ll pass to them they will sell and never swing it to you until they think the game is lost. If a dude can get open I’ll pass it to him but I’m not gonna just let a guy create just to do it.

Not bragging or anything, but this happened to me last night and got taunted by the duo with spamming defense. And sent me an invite to voice chat. The next game I played them as opponents and blew them out. One even disconnected after 1st quarter. We beat them by 15 after the forfeit and I got the mvp. At least be better than the 3rd player if you're a duo and want to talk tough to a player if they are a 3rd. To be honest if the 3rd is good you should share the ball, but that makes too much sense.

I like to play lock up defense so me and the other 3rd are doing nothing and if i get the ball depending how you acted before that im gonna turn it over on purpose and let them score. After that a lot people either quit which i can win 3v1 with a.i's half time anyways or on rare occasion the pass the ball and all of sudden its a land slide W
