First , my opinion on how it effects PveIt just slows down PvE and fighting mobs considerably , which some including myself do not like . Plus , it makes the game harder . I know that some people like it this way , but if you are like me you play Minecraft to relax and have fun , not to get into an intense battle . If you accidentally hit a Zombie Pigman now , YOU ARE DEAD . There is no way to survive them after the armor and weapon nerf . As for PvP , unlike what most say pre 1 . 9 combat did require skill . Instead of it being waitclickwaitclick , it was much faster paced and more engaging . In my opinion , PvP in 1 . 9 and after is just slow , boring , and brainless . <| sep |> I think it ' s a case of other teams having more tape to scout on for this lineup . Weaknesses are now being exploited .
