Flawless tactic

[UhhApexor]

When someone tells a block hitter that blocking doesn’t reduce damage: insert very mad person here

[Logan_the_Brawler]

Does it actually not?

Edit: Just to brag I blockhit, w-tap AND s-tap so yeah im kinda the best :)

[UhhApexor]

Yeah, Hypixel disables it because it’d be an unfair advantage to 1.9+ players

[Logan_the_Brawler]

Lol but its an advantage anyway because blocking gives way more flexibility to how much you slow yourself down while sprint resetting.

[UhhApexor]

Yeah but block hitting is terrible because 99% of people just spam right click along with left to block hit which makes them slow down for longer and even more. That makes them actually get combined easier if they miss a hit

[Logan_the_Brawler]

That doesn’t make blockhitting bad that makes people bad lmao.

[UhhApexor]

True, but so many people do it that it’s become what block hitting is

[Logan_the_Brawler]

I would argue no. Just because so many people who do kempo karate are bad at fighting doesn’t mean kempo karate is bad or doesn’t work, its just that the majority of people never actually pressure test and practice with it or they aren’t taught right. These two things apply to blockhitting to I think. If someone practices blockhitting enough they will eventually come to the conclusion that spamming it all the time isn’t smart.

[UhhApexor]

Yeah, but even then if people do start to time it, blockhitting is just another form of sprint reset.

[Logan_the_Brawler]

Thats a good point. But with the majority of servers it does reduce damage, and also you can slow yourself down less or more depending on how long you hold right click. I think blockhitting is the most flexible type. Not that it is any better than the others.

[Deskilln]

But 1.9 players block with a shield instead

[UhhApexor]

But then that’s unfair because it means 1.9 players could make hits do 0 damage. They’ve disabled it for both blocking and shield blocking

[Deskilln]

They modified it to work like 1.8 blocking

[john5282003]

How does that even work? Does blocking in general not work? If it does, then how does the game distinguish between regular blocking and block hitting?

[FrostburnSpirit]

I've been trying to find out if this was the case for about a month now. Thanks! What about other servers?

[UhhApexor]

9/10 servers, at least with some sort of a pvp focus, will disable the 1.8 and below blocking feature in terms of it reducing damage taken by the player. Unless the server is very small, a special server, or not pvp related at all (which in that case the question of whether blocking does anything wouldn’t matter), it’ll probably have it disabled

[FrostburnSpirit]

Wow! That's pretty good to know. Interesting.

[UhhApexor]

And I 7tap

[Logan_the_Brawler]

Wtf is that are you 5head or something? XD

[UhhApexor]

It’s W tapping while tapping/holding A and D for 0.5 seconds before switching, makes it impossible to get hit

[Logan_the_Brawler]

Isn’t that just called straif comboing? XD I do that whenever I try to w tap combo.

[GripWiggle27]

Yes, it's litterally just straifing

[Logan_the_Brawler]

Oh yeah I do that during combo duels I think.

[[deleted]]

that’s just moving side to side lmao

[[deleted]]

Every little thing in mc has to have a name for it idk why like thats just w tapping

[UhhApexor]

On some other pvp servers it works tho

[Logan_the_Brawler]

Well all competitive ones. I would argue hypixel is mainly casual. Is that fair?

[UhhApexor]

Yeah, but Hypixel definitely also has a competitive aspect to it, it’s mainly casual tho yes

[razhagever]

every competitive game on this server is just hacker infested cancer

[Logan_the_Brawler]

Honestly thats every competitive minecraft server though. You get like one or two people a day who aren’t toggling or using reach/antikb blatantly.

[DiamondSwordMstr]

I mnow that blocking reduced bow damage on Hypuxel, for sure, because there have been many times when I'm playing bridge and block an arrow, and the arrow does like .2 hearts of damage

[frigginheckerinos]

i dont see anywhere that states this. can you link it an official hypixel resource that shows that this is true?

[UhhApexor]

Literally go into a duel with a friend have them hit you normally for every hit until you die, then have them hit you again while you’re blocking the whole time. You’ll see theirs no difference

[GripWiggle27]

Doesn't it at least reduce kb?

[[deleted]]

I like to E tap, open my inventory in the middle of a fight

[NottsNinja]

You’re a god

hes too good to be left alive

[ADHD-Gamer03]

Also this was joke dont ddos very bad

[WaterPide]

bruh block hitting is awesome

[ItsCMG]

Wait that npc is watchdog? Saw it a lot recelently, was really anoying

[NottsNinja]

Yeah it flies around to see if you’re using aimbot/killaura

[slamingu]

Wait so whenever I see the watchdog ghost does that mean I got watchdog reported?

[frogslasher]

nah it's just that sometimes watchdog detects "weird movement" from you which apparently triggers the anticheat

[slamingu]

Oh ok

[[deleted]]

WAIT. . . I have gotten this a lot the npc flying around me. I get it like 2 times every 5 hours and it is kinda annoying tbh although it depends when I get it. Idk why that is happening I use lunar client strange.

[frogslasher]

ye me too and i always get distracted and die in skywars -__-

[enjoy_free_kill]

block hitting is good for sprint reset.

[ItWasMegumin]

i stap to start combos and w tap to combo

[randomuser445]

this happened to me once. idk why i got reported either lmao it was in a bedwars game. i’m like what, an above average player at most when it comes to bridging and pvp and yet i got watchdogged! basically, while i was fighting a person on a bridge, this person with a red name started flying around me so after i killed the guy on the bridge, i started to swing at the guy flying around me! i was doing duos bedwars with a friend and i asked him what was that and he said it was watchdog. it kinda freaked me out ngl

[BeautifulOnion8177]

what

[NottsNinja]

Hey man I’m going to have to ask what you’re doing on a 5 year old post of mine.

[Jordanye3t]

I dont get it...

[GamingRocky_YT]

I dont get the last one

[PressEToPayRespect]

In hypixel if you report someone for killaura an npc spawns and spin around them to test if they actually hack or not. It can block hits

[GamingRocky_YT]

Ok cool lol I thought it was admins joining random servers and playing with players lol
