User blog:Ronshol The Black/ Combat Changes In 1.9 And Beta 25

So, Beta 25 will be a pretty awesome update. The spear reach thing seems AMAZING. However, I've been testing alot with the new combat changes coming with Minecraft 1.9 and honestly, it makes PvP require LESS skill. Why? Because if there is a cooldown you don't need to get good at strafing or fish rodding or doing combos. (Combos were sort of removed in 1.8). It all depends on who has the better armor and sword. As I mastered the cooldown feature on my 2nd try. Before, you could be in full leather armour and take out a full chain guy. In 1.9 however. The chainmail with 99 % always win. They would lose if they didn't know how to cooldown. But everyone knows how to do that so it is unlikely. Fights will also take FOREVER. A fight that would normally take 60 seconds could take over 5 minutes. RIP Kohi and Gapple community. What were combos? Combos usually happen when you blockhit. Since block hitting was sorta removed in 1.8. You probably won't combo. If you don't know what combos look like. Go watch a Huawhi montage video. 1.9 will completely destroy combos. And make fights long and boring. I also hate how Mojang isn't taking any suggestions from the PvP community. And taking it all from Non PvP'ers. Mod team. You might wanna take the hint :P. That is all I felt like talking about.
