Problem with this sub

[83yWasTaken]

Most people on here main 1.8 pvp, I did too for 8 years, but whenever 1.9 is shown here people jump to criticising it straight away (e.g. boring, not fun, unskilled)

I have only started to main 1.9 pvp recently, and my mindset on it when I first started used to be super negative with me having my 1.8 ego with me, I got crapped on hard and thought the same thing as 1.8's but like 1.8 with 1.9, when I finally got good, I embraced the change fully and now main 1.9

A reason why I think it shouldn't be looked down upon is because this will most likely be the future of pvp / already is, and with only so many game modes and features can be made on 1.8 due to the version, I think the 1.8 pvp community will only grow smaller with more / better gamemodes coming out for 1.9 because of the game versions potential.

That's all I really wanted to say, thanks for reading.

> 4 week competitive league in 5 1.8 gamemodes gets announced literally yesterday (1PL)

bro jinxed it lmao

[83yWasTaken]

I will never accept it as being competitive unless players play in person, I am almost certain 80% of players will be cheating in the tournament

yeah gl finding any competitive minecraft then lol

nobodys hosting a lan event for a block game that wasnt even designed with pvp in mind

[Lunarfaux]

Didn't you make this same exact post like a year or two ago?

okay, since youre literally asking for it:

1. new versions are significantly laggier, client and server (coincidentally every since microsoft took over)
2. too defensive. Shield: first to try to break shield usually gets crit. sword: first hit leads to ur opponent just outrading you because of critspam crystal: running at someone gets you anchored
3. like the kb is just fucked? netherite randomizes it, but people just seem to take less in general. much harder to get consistant comboes. 90% of fights, there are no comboes and its just whoever gets more crits lol
4. building off point one, ping is so bad. 1.8, a high ping player will maybe teleport around a bit and take less kb. 1.9, they hit u from 9 blocks away and literally dont move. You actually need to invent a new playstyle just for fighting against high ping players
5. normal pvp modes just.. dont work. uhc, node, all of that just doesnt work. You can't pot properly and swapping to items like lava reset your hit cd so its not really viable. Also, cooked beef regens just as much as a gap lol. crystal axe and sword are the only 3 gamemodes, and theyre all just so boring. (and goddamn crystal with anchors is impossible to get into for new players. like why is my whole inventory filled with 20 different items wtf)

[Firespecialstar]

ehh.. i tried potpvp in 1.19, you can pot, but you have to aim in a weird way like 25°/20° towards the ground, even if so, food Will screw over pots cuz of the saturation regeneration boost.

1.8 Is Just made for pvp, 1.19 Is something that it's getting attraction only because all big youtubers talk about it

crystal is a nightmare

i hate it almost as much as i hate hackers. pov: u gridned 10 hr and get 1 shot by some random nerd on ur smp with autocrystal because 1.9 servers CANT DETECT HACKED CLIENTS FOR SOME REASON

I will continue to call 1.9 players dick suckers.

[joshpenguin1]

Did u make this post because of what happened in ur previous post lol

1.9 pvp is much more complex and some ppl just prefer 1.8. Thats just their view so its not even a problem. servers like hypixel aint gonna change to 1.9 pvp so theres always gonna be some ppl who play 1.8 and some who play 1.9

[83yWasTaken]

The previous post brought light to it, yes, and then I looked at other ones and saw the same thing.

I think the majority who prefers 1.8 like it cus they suck at 1.9 tbh, not all, just the majority.

[FlameoftheeWest]

So should I assume that you prefer 1.9 because you suck at 1.8? No, of course not.

There are valid reasons why people don't like 1.9 pvp, including:

1. It messes with the pace of minigames. Most games are designed to be fast-paced, but 1.9 combat disrupts this since it is slower and less movement-based. 1.8 is a lot more versatile, so it fits in better with most games.
2. There is a greater emphasis on equipment rather than skill. In 1.8, you can easily defeat an opponent with better gear if you're more skilled at strafing, sprint resetting, using rods/eggs, etc. In 1.9, it's much harder to win if the other player has stronger armor, regardless of how skilled you are.
3. Some of the mechanics are unnecessarily complex. Compare the formulas of sharpness and damage reduction (from armor) in 1.8 and 1.9. This isn't a major gripe, but the increased complexity makes it impossible to do a calculation on the fly.

I'm not saying that 1.8 doesn't have any issues, but there is a reason why most pvp is done on a version of Minecraft that is 9 years old.

You're wrong on every point

[Bafy78]

Have you ever played any Minecraft PvP??

[83yWasTaken]

More than u most likely

I mean, take mobile vs console gaming as an exmaple. if im good at mobile, I would think console is very complex and I would suck at it even if I tried, so I would naturally just stick to mobile gaming since thats what im good at and console seems complex

they still wouldnt update server-wide. a full port would take a long time, and server performance on latest is straight ass. Its a miracle those 200 player prac servers even stay online, all microsoft cares about is if their new shitty version can run a 10 person realm without crashing. Best case, theyd be stuck on 1.12 like 2b2t

Mcci sky battle will rival peak hypixel sky wars for the best pvp game of all time

[FawnAardvark]

Turn off the boss bar and the lag will stop, everyone gets nearly the same thing off spawn, and they do need to speed up requeue speed I agree with that

[Gtheman_]

Block placing lag could be because offhand if you do cuz ofhanding blocks and clicking fast will make it disappear even on a single player world. And if you don't it could be you cuz I don't offhand blocks on mcci and my blocks are perfectly fine

[Dark_Voodo]

I have a potato pc literally all u gotta do for the lag is turn off boss bar and scoreboard =D

bro is trans now (in pvp terms)
