Style-specific Hot Zones and Cold Zones | Basketball: Zero | Page 1

Just to make this game more interesting, and not entirely 3pter meta. This means that yes, some styles have more chance of missing a shot in neutral and cold zones.

Styles like—

Clutch
Sniper

—would have more hot zones outside the 3pt line.

Others like—

Star
Giant
Ace

—may have to get to the inside to get a cleaner shot.

I think this'll make people NEED to position themselves better, and it'll also make the game not a repetitive 3pt clash...

IF this concept is to be added, it should be implemented in such a way that players could adapt to the mechanic. Maybe like a limited mode, or enabling it in ranked for a short testing period.

On top of this concept, shot feedback or even a shot meter would be cool... but I think those two ideas are too complex and might impact players used to the current game's mechanics heavily.

#

as I’m not against improving on the games current mechanic I feel this would just kill the versatility alot of the styles have now plus let’s be real kids aren’t gonna position themselves either way half this player base are ball chaser.

cold grotto May 23, 2025, 1:08 PM

#

this could be enabled exclusively for ranked

#

or disabled exclusively for beginner servers

#

as for the versatility of styles, i might say
some styles are built around being on the inside, like giant. it doesn't make sense that it can easily score 3pts

native pagoda May 23, 2025, 1:10 PM

#

yea they have to add it for like a trial run I feel that wouldn’t be a bad idea

cold grotto May 23, 2025, 1:10 PM

#

mmm like a testing place?

#

yea

native pagoda May 23, 2025, 1:11 PM

#

yea true I feel if it was limited time mode most people wouldn’t play it

#

so I think if they just added it for a few days to see how people like it then that be better

errant vault May 23, 2025, 1:14 PM

#

It will always be a 3pt clash

cold grotto May 23, 2025, 1:15 PM

#

yes because there are little to no risks getting 3pts

native pagoda May 23, 2025, 1:16 PM

#

really just depends on who you play against really

#

but for the most part yea it’s just 3s

cold grotto May 23, 2025, 1:16 PM

#

but if there are more risks then players may have to revise a plan other than "stay outside, pass if defended"

native pagoda May 23, 2025, 1:17 PM

#

Tbh pump passing is what’s enabled this play style meta we have

cold grotto May 23, 2025, 1:18 PM

#

yea but im glad in ranked it's somewhat stoppable

native pagoda May 23, 2025, 1:18 PM

#

plus at the end of the day people will just go for 3s regardless for the simple fact they give more points

#

and let’s face it they gotta aura farm 😭

cold grotto May 23, 2025, 1:19 PM

#

which is why i enter lobbies that have players shoot 3s despite being insanely smothered....

native pagoda May 23, 2025, 1:19 PM

#

there’s always those people pro or noob who just got for the most diabolical shots 😭

errant vault May 23, 2025, 1:19 PM

#

how do you even stop a pump pass

native pagoda May 23, 2025, 1:20 PM

#

errant vault how do you even stop a pump pass

just intercept it or use a ability that grabs the ball

errant vault May 23, 2025, 1:20 PM

#

its like quick

#

eh

cold grotto May 23, 2025, 1:20 PM

#

in ranked it's blockable

knotty idol May 23, 2025, 1:20 PM

#

this is a bit too convoluted icl

#

great system

#

but convoluted

knotty idol May 23, 2025, 1:21 PM

#

cold and hot zones would be great if auto score abilities didnt exist

#

plus itd probably break some zones that increase shooting range

cold grotto May 23, 2025, 1:22 PM

#

knotty idol cold and hot zones would be great if auto score abilities didnt exist

well they are their own, and are really only one-time uses

cold grotto May 23, 2025, 1:23 PM

#

knotty idol plus itd probably break some zones that increase shooting range

the zone could just ignore this fact

knotty idol May 23, 2025, 1:23 PM

#

which also isnt really a good thing unfortunately

#

since emperor exists

#

if this mechanic were to be added

#

people would just run perfectionist zone with an emperor teammate since its confirmed that emperor can fill teammate zone gauges

cold grotto May 23, 2025, 1:24 PM

#

mmm i see

knotty idol May 23, 2025, 1:24 PM

#

very odd hypothetical but yk what i mean

cold grotto May 23, 2025, 1:24 PM

#

wait

#

wait

#

like

#

is it part of his awakening

#

?

#

because a team full of emperors would be... hell

knotty idol May 23, 2025, 1:25 PM

#

uh

#

i am not sure

#

chrollo said it was either his pass or zone that sid it

#

which is

#

concerning

cold grotto May 23, 2025, 1:25 PM

#

yes

#

very concerning

#

if its his pass

#

(the ability)

#

then a team full of emperors would be close to unstoppable

errant vault May 23, 2025, 1:26 PM

#

5 emperors vs anything 🌹

knotty idol May 23, 2025, 1:26 PM

#

i am definitely not going to touch ranked for a week after emp

#

lol

errant vault May 23, 2025, 1:27 PM

#

you cant shoot no ball cuz emp got that better lucky steal

knotty idol May 23, 2025, 1:27 PM

#

i wonder if giant charge would just invalidate the emperor defense move

#

would be funny

cold grotto May 23, 2025, 1:28 PM

#

it would make sense

errant vault May 23, 2025, 1:28 PM

#

2 giants in ranked was already bad man

#

add a 1 week ban for emperor in ranked before use pls

knotty idol May 23, 2025, 1:29 PM

#

cracked in offense and cracked in defense

cold grotto May 23, 2025, 1:29 PM

#

that would make a good suggestion

knotty idol May 23, 2025, 1:29 PM

#

cracked in playmaking too

cold grotto May 23, 2025, 1:29 PM

#

newly added styles banned from ranked for a duration

knotty idol May 23, 2025, 1:29 PM

#

i am

#

terrified

#

now that everybody has a style slot for free

#

ranked style bans can be possible

#

if anything im more excited for the free slot than emperor

#

😭

cold grotto May 23, 2025, 1:30 PM

#

i just wish they also give us a zone slot

knotty idol May 23, 2025, 1:31 PM

#

to be fair you can get that if you reach diamond in ranked

cold grotto May 23, 2025, 1:31 PM

#

cannot be doing that with giant existing im ngl

knotty idol May 23, 2025, 1:31 PM

#

i would do that except emperor is coming out in a few hours

#

cant wait to see the akashi cosplayers with the obnoxious custom ids flooding in

cold grotto May 23, 2025, 1:32 PM

#

is chrollo really going to make "Miracles" a whole other rarity?

#

it still doesn't make sense

errant vault May 23, 2025, 1:32 PM

#

polls

knotty idol May 23, 2025, 1:32 PM

#

i still think that miracles was probably one of the worse options

cold grotto May 23, 2025, 1:32 PM

#

every poll has miracles as the most voted

errant vault May 23, 2025, 1:33 PM

#

if they're making emperor mythic on release, then miracle will come out as well

cold grotto May 23, 2025, 1:33 PM

#

which doesn't make sense considering most mythcis are part of the GoM

#

mythics*

#

as well as Sniper being legendary

#

All-Star would've been fine w/ me

#

Miracles just doesn't make sense

knotty idol May 23, 2025, 1:34 PM

#

all-star opens up for more creativity

errant vault May 23, 2025, 1:34 PM

#

but noooo people wanted miracle

knotty idol May 23, 2025, 1:34 PM

#

miracles not so much

#

because people will DEFO assume that miracles is strictly for gom

cold grotto May 23, 2025, 1:34 PM

#

yep

knotty idol May 23, 2025, 1:34 PM

#

which is unfortunate

cold grotto May 23, 2025, 1:35 PM

#

i think chrollo should just ignore the polls and put it as All-Star

#

😭

#

they already ignored some

errant vault May 23, 2025, 1:35 PM

#

mhm

cold grotto May 23, 2025, 1:35 PM

#

what's one more

knotty idol May 23, 2025, 1:35 PM

#

homie out here sayinf "STOP I DONT WANNA DO THIS"

#

THEN DONT DO IT BRO DAMN 😭

cold grotto May 23, 2025, 1:35 PM

#

fr

knotty idol May 23, 2025, 1:35 PM

#

youve already ignored like 5 poll results before this

#

whats stopping you from doing that with the rarity name lol

#

to be fair

#

hes probably building up hype

#

which is to be expected

#

building up bugs too because homie wont fix the damn game

cold grotto May 23, 2025, 1:36 PM

#

people would be disappointed if it was anything other than Miracles

cold grotto May 23, 2025, 1:37 PM

knotty idol building up bugs too because homie wont fix the damn game

errant vault May 23, 2025, 1:37 PM

who cares bro miracles is crap

cold grotto May 23, 2025, 1:37 PM

#

i still cant play sniper w/ this buggy net...

knotty idol May 23, 2025, 1:37 PM

#

me when i get awakening only for my full court to be a high arc pass

cold grotto May 23, 2025, 1:37 PM

#

fr

#

u have to beg ur teammates to rebound

#

😭

knotty idol May 23, 2025, 1:38 PM

#

whenever i see a sniper main excited to use their awk

#

i just watch

#

as their hopes and dreams crumble

#

i feel even worse for copycat mains that copy the full court lol

cold grotto May 23, 2025, 1:39 PM

#

the only thing i use the sniper awk now is for the Perfect Arc cooldown refresh 😭

cold grotto May 23, 2025, 1:39 PM

#

knotty idol i feel even worse for copycat mains that copy the full court lol

at least they still have that free pt

knotty idol May 23, 2025, 1:39 PM

#

you ever tried animalistic sniper

#

your jump shot with perfect arc is so high with animalistic it actually makes it difficult to block

cold grotto May 23, 2025, 1:40 PM

#

yes

#

thats literally what i use

knotty idol May 23, 2025, 1:40 PM

#

absolute cinema

cold grotto May 23, 2025, 1:40 PM

#

u can only block it with specific timing

#

😭

knotty idol May 23, 2025, 1:41 PM

#

someone gotta gatekeep it

#

dont let the 70 ovrs know

cold grotto May 23, 2025, 1:41 PM

#

its like

#

playing Sniper if it was buffed

#

barely anyone uses Sniper anymore because it's been so ignored

#

😭

#

cold grotto barely anyone uses Sniper anymore because it's been so ignored

or maybe cuz its the 2nd worst style in game

#

but maybe w zones its better

#

but it restricts alotta stuff for u

robust basalt May 23, 2025, 2:00 PM

#

native pagoda as I’m not against improving on the games current mechanic I feel this would jus...

ball chasers 💔💔💔🥀🥀🥀

#

scum of the earth

#

just play defense and man mark its so easy

glossy kettle May 23, 2025, 2:01 PM
