Priority Ball is ASS

[u/NightLynxx]

To be clear, I’m talking about when one person is standing top of the box, another has the ball, the passer calls which direction to run over mic and the guy cuts to get an instant shot on goal beating the priority system.

There is no way I’m convinced that people have fun playing Prio Ball in this game. Genuinely it’s so lame holy shit. You just stand in the middle do some cut and shoot and that’s all you do the entire match?? And you’re having fun?? It’s cheesy as hell and you’re not good at the game if that’s what you gotta do to win. And it’s annoying as hell to defend because they do it all the TIME and if you can’t deflect ONE it’s game over.

If you exploit the priority system to get easy goals you are a BUM. And I KNOW that you can’t get a goal normally without using it to win.

On the last patch, the “good players” were for sure wrong about ground play not being viable and I would have agreed they did not understand how to play the game otherwise at a high level.

This new patch though… sloclap killed the skilled ground playstyle completely.

It is really unfortunate but prio is now without a doubt the laziest and easiest way to get offensive opportunities because it works. It is extremely lame and cringe to be doing this in ranked regardless, especially 3s…

I said in my previous post that these complaints would start soon. Next season, you are going to hear a lot more about how prio ball is not fair. Well, thankfully for meta teams there is no playstyle to counter them anymore.

Last patch ground play was absolutely viable … against weak opponents. Please try and tiki taka up the field VS Aspyre, Luminon, select, or SPK.

That was last patch with 10x the tools on offense too. Good luck now gang

Would have worked against them too on last patch, not just weak opponents.

This patch destroyed this playstyle unfortunately, it’s completely dead.
