I think that you guys(staff) have worked really well with the 1.9 update and taken the best out of it it and put it to use... unlike many other servers struggling to comprehend exactly what will pop up next in the update. Good Job staff!

With the 1.9 update comes variety, and more reliance on genuine skill as apposed to which user has the better loadout, or which user is capable of clicking faster. Currently, there are very few things that change the tide of combat; circle-strafing, w-tapping and block-hitting are three common techniques that are used in PvP, however despite this the fights will still result in the same conclusion. With 1.9, we are given variety; you could trade speed for a higher damage output with axes, you can finally use bows as a dominant weapon, you can choose to duel-wield a strength or speed potion for ease of access, you can duel-wield god apples to intimidate your opponents whilst simultaneously providing yourself with an escape option when your fight looks as though it will end in the other player's favour, or you could duel-wield a shield and attempt to absorb your opponent's hits.
Now this is speculative, however I believe that this update was brought upon us because combat has always been the same, and players are beginning to notice this and leave because of it. Classic Minecraft PvP may be simplistic, but above the surface, it's bland and unimaginative, and this change in PvP algorithm will likely capture the attention of users that have left the Minecraft community lately, as well as motivate members within the current community to enjoy the game more than ever with the variety that we have been demanding over the past few months.
1.9 update || Huge opportunity for new cosmetics

Actually, the 1.9 update is completely logical. Odds are, everybody reading this comment knows at least two people that have quit the game entirely in favour of different things, and the reason for this is usually because the game has become stale. Minecraft is a game of infinite potential; not infinite enjoyment. From a business perspective, this update was actually quite clever, given that all that combat has ever consisted of was two users in identical gear at an arm's race to break the other player's armour, all whilst chomping countless god apples to provide invincibility.

Why not 1.9 gamemodes and 1.8 gamemodes.. (PvP wise.. 1.9 items should be added whatever it takes)
Noobs would like it, put the people that play PvP, that 1.9 version is a piece of shit.
PvP cooldown on 1.9 can be disabled so stop acting as if it was the end of PvP
Ah yeah give me a 2 swords in the Lobby!
