Please remove basketball!

Every day there is some idiot who wants to play basketball instead of getting to point.
Or make a separate map where they can play basketball instead of dragging their team down.

I have never seen someone stay in spawn to hit the ball after the game starts. They shouldn’t remove a fun feature just because a very small number of people get distracted by it.

I’ve never seen anyone do it either, but if it does even cause 1 player to throw a game then there’s no harm in simply making them disappear after a game begins.

There must be some stupid tictoc challenge or something for this. Had a dps on Nepal spend 90% of the game hitting the basketball in spawn. Game was a close loss. Had he contributed even a tiny bit more, we could have won. Reported him for inactivity. Not that it will matter.

Well, ball is life.

But yeah, never saw anyone stay in spawn beyond a drink (I assume)

THAT is the problem. The first dozen times, I was just shaking my head but like you said, there are times when that player would have definitely made a difference in the actual game. I now report them, but nothing ever happens.
Do they still give you a comment in OW2 like they did in OW where it says ā€œWe acted on your reportā€?

That as well as taking Mei’s ice wall away until she is outside the spawn point.

Not until I figure out how to make it as Rein!!

If someone wants to throw, no matter what, they’re gonna throw.
If there isn’t a basketball, they’ll just jump off the map.

is that even possible lol… now it kind of makes me want to play rein and get that map. ill probably contribute to what OP is saying

If someone chooses to be a wank and repeatedly disrupt my basketball shots before the round starts, I feel no shame in either staying in spawn until I make the basket, or outright telling the enemy team to focus hard on them because they disrespected the sacred art of spawn basketball.

You should be reported every time you purposely throw.

I’ve managed to do brig (on one table anyway)…surely rein is too….no?

Thats worthy challange, i salute you.

You touch the basketball when i am trying to make the shot then i dont care if i am late to the point should of left the ball alone

I’ve made it to BP level 90-ish without seeing a single game spoiled by basketball. It does happen sometimes. Those are people who would ruin the game in some other way if there wasn’t basketball.

Like Akary, who should be reported everytime they do that.

The amount of times I ever come across this is never.

B-but, how will we play ā€˜basketball oracle’ without it? How will we know if the round will go well if we can’t use it?!

Stop advocating for the little soul that’s left in the game to be taken out.
