It does, but because players will often be spread out 2+ blocks away, the swipe side-effect doesn't affect them.? That was one player and yes the animation shows up when you wait for 100% of the cooldown but it doesn't hit multiple people.
Also, note that "half swings" are not 50% damage. Cooldown is not linearly related to damage - 40% cooldown will deal 33% weapon damage for example.
You can also list a few common mistakes most players do. For example, some bowspam at melee range (only exception would be a punch bow and if you're able to land 2-3+ consecutive shots. Even then, this applies usually to eggwars and skywars where the void is the main hazard.
More tips:
-Shooting someone with the bow while they're sprint jumping toward you will disrupt enemy movement. That means they'll fall flat into the ground, lose their aim, or lose momentum during the flight or jump. It's a good trick to know when using lava traps in PvP FFA or in elytra PvP.
-Shields do not block fire damage. Fire can be used as a soft counter to shields in order to force the target to stop blocking.
Overall, great guide.
