Don't pass to me button

i think that a don't pass to me button would be very helpful to myself and others. not to meantion easy to put in (just let me double bind it with my curve button plz).
this would be useful for situations suchs as when someone is focusing on blocking the boost back or times when O is trying to get open but isn't quite there yet.
I know some ppl would say "get better passers" but there are times that you just can't tell if the person is just about to move behind the d to hit them off or it going to keep coming towards you for a good pass.
Imo this would allow for more skill to those that used it and wouldn't create any kind of balance.... of course i probably have to wait for 2.0 to get it... :\
heres hoping for 1.9b with fixed sounds and my new don't pass to me button

Yes it's rather frustrating when you are deliberately not clicking the "Pass to me" button, but they pass to you anyway and you get killed moments later.

To be honest I never take any notice of the 'Pass to me' feature. Aint got time to look for flashing yellow beacons and they usually are not in the best possition anyway. A 'Don't pass to me' beacon would make me think twice about passing but I still don't think it would affect my play.
A dont pass button would be more useful than a pass to me button. Just replace it in my opinion. In publics it may be useful but they're both useless for proper team matches.
Only reason I'd use it is coz of the pretty sounding BLeeP noise and the little stick man with his arms in the air

um the point is that they aren't unless for matches cuz sure sometimes you would still get passed to but there are times when it could save your team from making a mistake that wasn't based on lack of skill but on not being able to read your teammates mind

I would find these buttons useless but they may be useful for other players/teams. k? :p

maybe if your "dont pass to me" button prevented you from being locked onto ?

Just make a bind that says "Don't pass to me!" or use TS with your team and say it.

foo i was thinking about that too but i realize the problem is: how are you going to know when you do want to be passed to? i mean i guess you could use the pass to me button but while you are trying blox boost or d you can't really spam "don't pass to me" over and over the visaul aid would be very helpful without any costs

It all depends on the guy with the ball. Personally I don't pass unless someone is cutting to the goal, or if there is an odd man rush upfield, or if I am pressured. I'll run the ball halfway up the field. And like many others I don't pay attention to ppl using right click "Pass, I'm open!" If someone's open i'll get teh ball to them, but usually people use this when they only think they are open.
"the pass me button is for bots" <- true
If you are talking about clan matches then TS might work, or just sit down and talk to your teammates about when u want the ball and when u don't. RusH has played together so long, we know what everyone's going to do, so maybe more scrims r in order. Those r my suggestions for clan matches. For pubs, you can just pray that the ballcarrier is smart enough to get u the ball when u want it. More buttons won't really help anything.

why not just make the don't pass me button make it so no player can lock a pass on you till you release it?
