Sorry but I disagree.
Knockback is fine how it is now, it is now possible to combo and void people with this knockback, unlike in the old kb where its hard to do so.
To combo someone means to get multiple hits on them without getting hit, not sending people into the air for as long as you can
Have you actually played any pvp since the update?
Comboing people now means as much as sending people into the air as long as possible so they can't fight back.
PVP shouldn't be about just knocking people into the void in one or two hits. Not if the server wants to make the game more accessible to worse players and not if pvp is meant to be any fun.
On the old system, you could easily fight back. On the new one there is no point in trying to fight back, u won't land a single hit anyway once you are in the air.
On the new one buying gear also seems pretty much pointless besides buying quite literally a bare minimum to not die in literally one hit due to damage, because all you gotta do is get one good combo and the other person won't be able to fight back in any way.
