Hai! I usually don't do suggestions, much less threads, but there was this idea that came into my head yesterday but then thought of sharing it right now to hear your opinions :p

By just looking at the title you might already know that I am suggesting to add Fishing Rods in 1.9 PvP Games, but before you say "Eww, no get out you useless Moderator!", I'm going to list a few things of how this would affect PvP :)

Just before I start listing how Fishing Rods could be implemented to every PvP game, I'm going to explain how 1.9 Fishng Rods work :)

1.9 Fishing Rods is not the same as the usual 1.7/1.8 Fishing Rods where you hit and it pushes the player a bit to the direction they've been hit to. 1.9 Fishing Rods do the opposite. Whenever you "tag" someone with a Fishing Rod and then retrieve it, it pulls them back towards you. I have a video example in the spoiler below :)


Now that that has been said, I'll list how (In my opinion) it would be best to add Fishing Rods in every 1.9 PvP Game :)

EggWars (Team and Solo)
This is my favorite game out of all the others, and one of the reasons is because you have close to infinite strategies that you can use to kill a player, or even a whole team of 5 by yourself. If Fishing Rods were to be implemented to EggWars (Both Team and Solo) I suggest having it in the "Weapons" category in the Villager Shop for at least 20 diamonds in OP, 30 diamonds in Normal, and not possible in Hardcore.

SkyWars (Team and Solo)
I don't play this very often, but this game has been around for years and is as well one of the most popular games. I don't know if Fishing Rods are already in chests, but if it is, I suggest it being on OP items alone since it is very overpowered what you can do with it. (Check the video in the spoiler above if you haven't so you know what I refer myself to).

Lucky Islands (Team and Solo)
Similar to SkyWars, but instead, just put it into the Lucky Block drop chances.

Block Wars (Core and CTF)
Very simple, just have a kit called "Fisherman" that includes a Fishing Rod and then maybe a chestplate or something that protects you from being "rodded" from other people with that kit.

Survival Games (Team and Solo)
I think that having a kit for the Fishing Rod itself would be good here. It would also be good to have it in the chest probabilities but then I suggest having it in Normal and OP items only. If you have any other good ideas for that, let me know down in the comments :)

Minerware
This isn't a 100% PvP game, but there are some microgames that include it. I was thinking about having a new microgame where you spawn on a platform and what you have to do is to try to pull an animal into the void to gain a point, but there would also be a "forbidden" animal there that if you pull that animal, you'll lose the micrograme.


I believe that was all of the PvP Games. I hope you enjoyed/liked my idea and opinions are always welcome. If you liked it, vote on the poll, if you liked it but want something changed or you have another idea of how you think it would be better, tell me down in the comments and if you didn't like it, vote on the poll and please explain why so we can have better thoughts about it :)

Last i checked noone really likes it in eggwars ive seen fish rods suggested before in eggwars several times basically you could camp a bridge and fish them off to no end making their egg very easy to get to
Block Wars (Core and CTF)

Fishing rods are already in survival games chests, they just don't work for whatever reason :S
I think making them work would be great, I see no negative points as to why they shouldn't be.

You would then have to have different strategies then, for example, build upwards in a staircase, or if you're already hooked onto the fishing rod, then place blocks in front of you to not get pulled :)

As for BlockWars, it would be hard to get someone who is running away (It is possible though, don't get me wrong :)), and if you do eventually get the person with the flag, the team would have to help to protect the one running with the flag making BlockWars more into a "Team" game instead of you winning alone and everyone else takes the win too :P

I really like the idea. +1
And tbh, I can't believe you forgot the PVP arena, I mean thats your Location. They could be added as an insane kit in PVP, and in FFA as a kit. They can even be used in Assassins for a cost of 10 diamonds? (Sorry, I don't play assassins much).
I support this idea and really want it to be added! @Ping Ether replied by saying that they don't work in Cubecraft, I guess its due to the coding they disallowed it. Btw fishing rods are great in Survival games if you have no food, Just look out if someone's going to back stab you while doing that ;)

Also great if you want some cool stuff, I recommend eating a pufferfish, really fulfilling :P
Could also be added in some normal kits. Would make a good addition to the iron warrior kit.

I said no earlier, because I'd never used a fishing rod. :p
I don't really mind having it too much, but it shouldn't become some sort of alternative to bowspamming, I would never use a fishing rod anyway, for the same reason I would never use a bow.

People overestimate how powerful rods are with pulling. A huge thing to note is that fishing rods work 1/2 the time with pulling as they are bugged in vanilla still. Rods also only pull well if the hooked player is falling or if the person and if the person using the rod is running in the opposite direction and has a bit of height on the other person. Also a big thing to note is that if the hooked player is on a cliff (or bridge) above the the player using the rod they will only be pulled to the edge of the bridge at the most. I just ♡ fishing rods in 1.9 and really wish they were in every game on cubecraft (including blockband) ♡♡♡♡

I actually thought of PvP, but I don't know why, but my mind told me that there is no where for it to be added since you can create kits xD

Good idea, but the only downside is. imagine how annoying rod spammers would be :/. I would like to see it in 1.8 though, I am a BL player, but that probably wont happen. still, +1, I think this actually got suggested already by @FocusPlays :/

If you spam the fishing rod, at one point, you'll be close enough to kill your opponent while they are spamming their rod xD. Spamming a Fishing Rod wouldn't really do much since it affects a player a lot more when you have tagged a player at a distance :)

Oh ok, also, (sorry didn't read all of your post), are you suggesting the rod be used to sort of catch players in a way, or just for the knockback aspect? Also... don't you think 20 diamonds is a bit pricey,
