Did the sprint button change PvP?

[thechamp11]

I think that it did. One of the most common strategies was using a fishing rod to attempt to mess up your opponents sprint. You would basically boost him into a block and their sprint would mess up. And even sometimes, I'm pretty sure, their sprint would mess up even if they didn't hit anything. With the sprint key, those aren't nearly as affective strategies anymore. The fishing rod to boost your opponent into a tree, or a ledge, still works, but the result isn't nearly as drastic.

Also, as already mentioned, this makes pvp much more fast paced, and more fun to spectate, and more fun to play as well.

So yes, to answer this question further, the sprint button definitely changed pvp, and I would say for the better.

With that button is True PvP.

I definitely like PvP better when there was no sprint key. Made PvP more challenging IMO. I think with the Sprint key the game became much less skillful, like Mooclan said.

If you try going back and using double tap now you'll see how much it has changed things.

PvP was harder without it, but it's a nice edition.

As pretty much the earliest adopter fishing rod combat, even the way it's used during combat now is significantly different than my original vision, and I noticed that change taking the most significant turn after sprinting changed. The risks of my initial idea are far greater now with the current sprint systems, and due to the fast paced combat, it is also significantly more difficult to pull off. Instead of my original "free hits" idea, it has taken a more "throw your opponent off" kind of role, or a "gain knockback advantage for combos" role. My original idea still does work, but it isn't very consistent in comparison to the variations I see most frequently used today.

made it more ping based -_____ -

I was a dank double tapper - __________ --

^. It ruined PVP for old players but for people from 1.6 made them better with the fishing rod getting more combos making it more ping-based.

1.7 sprint pissed me off because I was very good at doubling taping sprint My pvp looked like I had a sprint button.
Than everyone gets a sprint button and everyone can do what I worked so hard to do.

Wait you play mc again?

Playing it since I hit diamond on LoL. I'm kind of mix and matching what I'm playing atm, at a crossroads of games to pursue. If you want to play sometime hmu as whenever I play solo I just go up against teams or hackers which basically just ends up in my death lol
