[@IntelEdits]

Some things I want to address: I know high ping can be a severe disadvantage in certain gamemodes, primarily crystal and shield based PvP, however these gamemodes are a lot more niche and the disadvantages that high ping causes are tied to specific items. Knockback scaling applies to almost every PvP based gamemode and taking reduced knockback at the price for a little bit higher ping is worth it in so many situations. The affect that ping has on knockback is ridiculous and should not exist in the game. This can easily be fixed by Minecraft servers or by Minecraft itself if they actually cared about PvP

[@delta2370]

I feel like high ping is only a advantage in sword an pot pvp. In everything else its just a disatvatage.

[@Kart]

i'm not sure how this could be fixed, u mean just by changing the falling knockback to something that comes closer to the ground knockback?

[@polarr8593]

Me personally I would say that at around 100 ping it doesn't matter hugely nut once ur up to 230 like I am its just painful to deal with especially shield delay

[@exhxusted3682]

Bro stop studying this game go outside touch grass like a normal KZbinr

[@IntelEdits]

@@Kart easiest way would just be to remove knockback scaling like how a lot of 1.8 servers have already done, isn't that hard to do either server side. IMO knockback scaling shouldn't be enabled by default in minecraft at all given all the issues it causes with interregional play

[@KingCarrot]

i find it funny that in 1.8, the rod is in nearly every major pvp loadout to halt enemy movement and start combos, and in most rod-less loadouts you're given blocks to do the same thing, both of which become horrendous to use on high ping. then high ping players move to 1.9 and they not only lose the disadvantage of laggy rods or blocks, but also gain the advantage of less kb

[@KingCarrot]

also i know that high ping does come with other disadvantages like getting the first hit being harder and s-tapping being stronger in certain anti-cheats, but both of those are kind of negated when you can just walk thru ur opponents combo on high ms

[@exfordovsky5315]

@@KingCarrot depends on the gamemode. With the lower ping in bridge, you get to score before your opponent

[@KingCarrot]

@@exfordovsky5315 tbh id rather take less kb than score a tenth of a second later

[@FlashCrusader]

Banger video and also glad someone adressed ping issue as a sword main I cry on the inside when someone has above 100 ping

[@suoped8789]

Another problem with ping: on your screen you are blocking your shield, on opponents (much higher ping then you) not yet. On their screen everything is normal, on your screen you get hit through your shield

[@threety-three5091]

This works both ways

[@Blitevebad]

Wouldn't you get hut reg if that happened

[@laserslime]

Pretty sure shield blocking is handled by the server, thus it should not be affected by client ping. It should rather be the other way around. The low ping player might have their shield blocked while the high player can't yet see it.

[@UltraAryan10]

@@laserslime It happens both ways, high ping players can get hit through their shield because of server not activating it yet and they can hit someone without a shield up and find out their shield was up already and they had just not received the visual cue yet.

[@loaf2550]

I'm so glad someone finally made this video about 1.9 pvp n ping.. I play alot of minemen, but lately been mainly playing 1.9 pvp the past few months, n tbh the more I play 1.9 the more I realize how nerfed it is, I can easily combo people below 75 to 80 ms, but when fight someone at 80 ms or above I can never combo them! I kinda did this exact experiment with my friend who's wifi is not good at the moment n it's close to impossible to combo them. It's true 1.9+ pvp takes alot of skill in pvp, there are so many game modes to master n learn, but I feel now people are just dissing 1.8 pvp saying it takes no skill which is not true, sure u have to spam click but people also gotta understand there's more to is beside spamming. There is alot of skill in both versions and there both nerfed in their own ways!

[@Moonator8]

Yeah, like idk why ppl even sau that 1.8 PvP is not skill based, if it was just this easy, like just spam click and that's it then EVERY SINGLE person would be a god but that isn't true I've been playing 1.8 PvP for about 4 years now and I am ok at it but I still get absolutely demolished because I don't know some mechanics or techniques like there are some mechanics and techniques that you have to know/practice to actually become decent at it.

[@loaf2550]

@@Moonator8 agreed my g

[@jdraiby]

[@SS____________]

@@Moonator8That’s just not true, I can click up to 51 cps with drag clicking but I can still hit insane combos with just 5 cps. It’s all about strafing and sprint resetting, and I think 1.9 mains are super ignorant and don’t realize that cps is not the only thing in 1.8, but rather a meaningless excuse

[@Bigbroplays]

Since we all know pvp is ping based (not completely) but 1.9 especially is because you have gamemodes like crystal, which give an unadvantage to higher ping players, since they can't place crystals fast enough in some situations. But high ping can also be a big advantage in 1.19 pvp because of the knockback you take and is useful in gamemodes such as sword. All things said, I'm glad you addressed these things about the future of pvo, great video.

[@SnowyRedstone]

The issue with 1.9 pvp is that ping is such a penalty. It's like a semi-auto rifle in battlefield. In sword if you use it good/you are lucky you destroy the other guy, otherwise you get flawless. Since you have to time your hits you can't just spam click and wish to have as much damage output as possible like on 1.8

[@Bigbroplays]

@@SnowyRedstone fr bro, I don't hate 1.9 pvp, but I've played 1.8 for almost a year now, and I'm still not thr best. It's starting to get boring, do that's why I'm probably gonna make the switch to 1.9. But you are right, in gamemodes such as sword high ping players do have the advantage, because of their wierd knockback,making them very hard to combo. That's why your best chance in those kind of situations you have to either critspam combo or strafe around them.

[@crystalnuke302]

Cw moment

[@Tom_HopeCore]

i mean ya'll are acting like every player has a high amount of ping. Most comp players won't have high ping plus, talking about lag can be true for 1.8 as well. I think 1.9 is better because overall, it has more skill than clicking fast and pointing BY FAR

[@7PXL1]

Ping is a very large issue in 1.9 I agree and was addressed very well in this video and to become a truly good 1.9 player you need to know how to overcome different pings, it is what can separate a t3 from a t2, you need to completely change your playstyle in order to counter it (and if done effectively makes you a more versatile player) but, whether you like it or not, it is a flawed feature that is here to stay so, in the nicest possible way, people just gotta deal with it lol. However this does allow ping spoofing where people deliberately raise their ping to gain an advantage which does really suck. Also, re timing of hits can almost completely counter high ms if done correctly, if you would like to watch this done effectively, i would recommend watching Vexaay Vs Kylaz, Vexaay is by far the best at doing this

[@Lucas_mtb69]

In 1.8 knockback scaling actually makes sense anddoesn't cause issues for competitive play (sure it's nice for combos without it on mmc, but in a competitive scenario the opponent would back out before it becomes relevant). In 1.9 tho it always annoyed me even on low ping since kb is already low enough.

In my opinion 1.8 is a better pvp system, because you have a quick fight and go on, while 1.9 and above look cooler, almost feels medival in a way, however its super annoying when you have to fight one guy for 4 hours because he just keeps running away and eating steaks (assuming you are not on a server of course)

[@olqndon1412]

This video is literally sooooo good

[@JuliaYoutubeChannelHandle]

minecraft calculates knockback relative to "motion" x, y and z not position x, y and z this also explains "knockback scailing". Also im pretty sure the ping threshold needed for "knockback reduction" will change depending on how the server calculates player position and motion, etc. usually it would be similar because there are normalized ways to deal with these values.

[@hambiisz]

I have somewhere around 150ms on PvP legacy since I live on the opposite side of the globe relatively to where the server is hosted. That's really saddening but can be fun sometimes, when people get destroyed and start blaming my high ping (mostly they are right). People there sometimes don't hold themselves and say whatever they want. It seems that you can say literally anything in chat there and get away with it. And I really appreciate it.

[@lixun7390]

Idk if it's possible, but maybe a vanilla gamerule to set either 1.8, 1.9+, and maybe the new combat version. However it could effects a lot of mechanics including armor points, armor toughness, knockback resistance, crystal damage, and anymore; which make it very hard to have both combats in the same version.

[@psychodog4877]

I learned more in this video than i did in school

[@Fxraz]

about the knockback to put it in more technical terms, the vertical limit works differently on 1.9 than in 1.8: - on 1.8 you take no additional vertical knockback after exceeding the vertical limit - on 1.9 you take negative vertical knockback after exceeding the vertical limit this is why knockback scaling is a thing on 1.9 but not 1.8

[@oUnivers]

OMG a New video lets goooooooooooooooo !

[@yumyumramen9535]

How often will the uploads get?

[@_Le01]

I agree with everything you said in the video, although I must say that being in the air longer because of higher ping can still be a bad thing. In crystal pvp (one of the most popular categories of 1.9+ pvp), the main attack is called hit-crystal, which is basically hitting your opponent in the air and then crystalling below their feet. Meaning if a player has a higher ping, therefore staying longer in the air, the attacker has more time to crystal below their feet, meaning the player with the higher ping has a bigger chance to lose if they get hit-crystalled.

[@Longie520]

my experience on pvp legacy truly resonate with this vid. being aussie, my ping on legacy is 250. im axe main and i wanna be dueling good players out there, but they usually sword spam me after a shield break as taking advantage of my ping. every 2 hits i get a reduced kb, causing me unable to time my pcrits within a sufficient time frame and just dies. now i know to not rely on pcrit on high ping tl;dr: the reduced kb make pcrits more difficult to time for the pinger
