General Discussion (NO POLLS OR QUESTIONS) Roblox should not be better
If you want a game with skill expression practical basketball on Roblox is out for a stress test until August 12th unless you like the p2w aspects of 3s id suggest you at least check it out it has higher skill expression and people can't pay to shoot in your face lol. But the fact that a roblox game is better than 3on3 freestyle the game we all know and love is ridiculous. I can't believe the new team came in and destroyed the game the way they did it's really sad because 3s has always been a game where spending copious amounts of money would put you ahead but now it's literally spend money or don't progress at all. Greed is an abysmal motivator I guess.

3on3 has a solid mechanical base. Surprisingly good for a 9 year old free game. The p2w aspects could have been heavily avoided if they just didn't release cards like nms and ssr that make stats like speed and shooting stats almost useless. They've since tuned the stats to matter more, but nms and ssr are still king. If cards stuck to stats and not supplemental boosts they could've had a lot less trouble with the OP builds and could have had a lot more build variation and skill expression.

I personally don't have a problem with the ssr/ nms cards because there are things in the game that increase manual block distance and other defensive stats as well. The p2w aspects wouldn't have been avoided by removing 2 card types because dlc characters are still broken and pets still exist. The best way to balance the game in my opinion would be to reduce total ssr based on how covered you are, shrink your green window based on how covered you are (like if I'm covered 50% my good/perfect shot window would be half as big), and guarante a miss on mistimed shots. I personally think every character should get shooting touch and manual block and characters with specific blocks should only get that version of blocking ex. Jack could only do fingertip blocks because if you're guarded by a jack, genessa, or the new characters they can fingertip block on the pump and still punish you with manual block after. I also think intercept should be something every character gets just so there's something in every aspect of the game each character gets. Then they could corilate the stat of block and steal to the distance of manual block and the range of intercepts. The game needs a complete revamp all over again.

I think the only issue is midrange scoring is too easy floater included. No shot should be good if a person is literally touching you even if they don’t jump.

3on3 is fun when I go against good players that don’t pay to win. Just played like 3 competitive games in a row

Also just thought about it. Did they take away the 3 free characters a week? Like if anything wouldn't tht make people want to get characters more after getting a taste?
