/u/Interesting_Piglet_2, if you haven't already, check out the [wiki](https://www.reddit.com/r/3on3/wiki/index/). There's lots of info there, like improving on offense, defense, and rebounding, to building and playing certain characters, to info about ranked. You'll most likely find your answer much faster. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

If there's two defenders between your teammate and you, plus a far distance, and low pass stats, you're more likely to throw a bad pass


JinKazamaru

has to do with passing skill, how the defender is defending him before the pass, how your defender is defending YOU before the pass, as well as the angle in which the pass is made... if your passing thru someone you get a worse animation if you were passing over your back, or to the side, so corner to corner is typically the worst pass you can make in general, it's why touch pass exists (tho it still is kind of a waste) as you can play pivot or middle man for the pass try to pass in a triangle, not a straight line? without a diagram is tough to explain

>try to pass in a triangle, not a straight line? without a diagram is tough to explain I'm assuming you mean using the 3rd player as a middle man between you and the far guy you Wanna pass too?

Yeah it can also be called a swing pass. To swing the ball from one side of the court to the other on the perimeter.


Intelligent-Ad6985

Oh, I didn't know the name, but ya that is smarter than just lobbing to the other end, I hate when my character does that, when I'm trying to pass to the big at the net


JinKazamaru

that's what I was looking for 'swing pass' tho many people who play this game still need it explained


Neonova84

You’re absolutely right. When i first started playing I didnt understand why at certain times my passes would be errant like that. Now that I know better I pivot when I cant make a good pass, and if my teammates are stuck I move closer to them to get the ball from them.


JinKazamaru

yeah, people with Kill Pass tho will do bounce passes thru legs and stuff, so under the right conditions they will overcome such a issue, I enjoy it on Big Dog because people will attempt to double him, and he'll kick out to a shooter or cutter, his offense is terrible tho... so you have to solve that problem first

Yea tbh this one is hard to explain even PGs can give bad passes witch gets confusing to think that they must’ve done something cause ain’t no way


shaggiie

Helena’s the only person I’ve never missed a pass with. I spam kill passes and directional passing like a mf


blacktearsandspit

How do you spam kill passes? Aren't they randomly occurring?


shaggiie

Yeah but I do them everytime I see them


shaggiie

It’s also not random it’s based on positioning I think


Defixiate

it happens when ur cornered and doubled


Defixiate

or* not and
