It's just sad that many people thinks it's just spam clicking but it isn't.
There is a lot of controversy regarding this topic, however, I think I can assume why players think this way. Unlike the older players who've experienced and come to love the classic fast-paced Minecraft PvP mechanics, newer players are quickly acclimated to the modern 1.9 PVP and its unique meta. With this in mind, it's not that hard to conclude that many players (myself included a bit) are very biased towards 1.9 combat as that's what we're adjusted to. Players that say 1.8 is bad purely because of its 'spam PVP' are justifying their opinion based off of what they think it is due to having an inconsiderate amount of actual knowledge on its mechanics, meta, and gameplay style; along with little experience actually trying 1.8's combat system.It's just sad that many people thinks it's just spam clicking but it isn't.
1.9 reach feels weird1.8 is spam clicking compared to 1.9+ It has strafing and combos and stuff, but 1.9 also has that. Because of its cooldowns, 1.9 requires more skill, precision and strategy. Missing a few hits in 1.8 isnt that big of a deal, but can be a game changer in 1.9
So do 1.9 combos imo1.9 reach feels weird
btw, 1.8 has lots of cheaters(pvp server) like ziblacking, glory and more(1.8 is spam clicking compared to 1.9+ It has strafing and combos and stuff, but 1.9 also has that.
