Most of the time I play on servers in my free time, and most 'decent' servers have a plugin that changes the combat tactics of 1.9 to be like 1.8 . . . no that I like that.

I prefer 1.9
the first reason why?
--Wings
Who doesn't love Elytra?
--Dual Wield
One thought comes to mind when I first heard about this: Double Bows
but it doesn't work :c
--Combat
The combat mechanics have been revamped and now it's more realistic and requires skill and tactics to win a fight -- not like being an idiot who randomly keeps swinging his sword
--The End
With the new End Islands introduced the End isn't now just an arena to fight the Enderdragon, you can explore and get Purpur for decoration or Chorus plants for...stuff --- Plus with the new Enderdragon fight changes, it's a bit easier to travel from one Obsidian tower to another and now we can get new types of Potions
--New Stats and Commands
With these Maps can have alot more content and have unique features
That's pretty much why 1.9 is alot better than 1.8 in my opinion anyways although I'm pretty disappointed at how you can't make Shulker Projectiles home in on players unless you build a very complex machine that needs to be modified on all blocks that you want it to shoot on
Too bad the PvP lovers, Server addicted, Never-played-survival, Players won't get to experience anymore Content in the future since they love their Spam Attacks too much especially now that Mojang released a snapshot for 1.10

LetoThank's
I don't think that is how "Thanks" works.

Thanks for voting .

I like 1.9 more, due to the fact that combat contains more strategy than "get more people and equipment" and more about knowing your surrounding terrain, the right combinations of weapons (balanced sword, fast pick or strong axe?), shield usage, armor (do you want to sacrifice armor for elytra?), potions (lingering is fun to play with) and movement (dodging attacks now actually do something).

Updated thread. Now, write, what kind of game type you would like to play and on which version .

1.9. For PVP, it makes tools (well, some) at least somewhat viable, and adds more skill to the game. It's less about who can click faster, and more about timing attacks.
1
For me, it's a mix of both. I like 1.9 PvP better, as it really requires skill, instead of just having a brief seizure. PvE, however, I prefer 1.8, because I feel like they made it far to difficult in 1.9, with a combination of the cooldowns, and skeletons being able to strafe. I also primarily play modded, so if there were a huge boss, and I needed to whittle down it's health over the course of basically an hour, by waiting to hit, it would just get ridiculous.
EDIT: Looking back on it, I think that some of it has to do with the speed of it all. I prefer more fast paced gameplay, so That probably plays in to this a lot.

1.9
Better combat, new items, bigger End to explore, and of course elytra

I prefer 1.9 of survival mainly do to the elytra but for Pvp I can swing either way.
*Edit
Oh yeah forgot fishing Rods can pull players in 1.9 that could be useful in games like sky wars

18 is way better cause it takes a lot of time to kill one guy if he has some good armor and golden apples (strong ones) with the pvp in 1.9........
in 1.8 it would just take a minute or two......(does require skills to do t
hough)

"1.9 requires skill"
no
just no
they just changed it from who can click faster to who clicks first (assuming you have the same gear) they basically changed it to runescape combat if you and a friend had the same gear in the arena. so i would say 1.8 because 1.9 combat was a useless change

I personally have been waiting for weapon cool downs for a long time so I'm happy that they finally added it.
1
I prefer 1.9, but like both. Idk why so many ppl hate 1.9 so much. They can toggle the attack speed and whatnot from the config file or go on a server that has 1.9 combat turned off.
1
1.9 because it actually requires skill to land a good shot/strike.
1
Added poll, please vote !
1
lol, I'm the only one that chose the one that requires skill.
1
i prefer 1.9 too... and for those who dont know if you have haste the attack speed is faster but this makes macros less useful in pvp since youll need like 6 atleast... and shields... and chorus fruit which technically is pvp since its like enderpearls to get away but the person going after you doesnt have a likely chance to easily chase you... and using an axe either jump or sprint at the person shielding and itll disable it temporarily... its like beta 1.7 to beta 1.8 nobody complained anywhere near as much... bows were spam to not spam and people were happy about this so they did the literally EXACT same thing with melee weapons... and the ammount of haters compared to lovers of this update are about opposite of beta... like 15% hated beta 1.8 and 15% didnt really care and the other 70% liked it... now its 15% love it 15% dont care and 70% are hating on it... imo if not care about it people stays same and lovers and haters of it swapped... or like dont care lowers lovers of it raise and haters shrink like alot of people who dont care or hate it are alot newer maybe? idk logics....

1.8, I prefer the spam clicking. I find it kinda weird pvp'ing in 1.9.
1
1.8 because there is no attack cooldown, which is very useful for pvp
1
1.8 because the spam clicking is better for pvp in my opinion.
1
1.8 because the mobs are insanely good and gang up on you within the first five minutes.
1
Any other opinions and why ?
1
I prefer 1.8

If i had to pick any of them 1.8. 1.9 is the worst update ever to come in minecraft.
1
1.9 of course. There is more to do and the combat is fixed.
1
The Combat was never Broken, the just made it more annoying. So if anything they broke it.
1
Sure they did. (sarcam)
