View bobbing on or off?

[KingNarwhalII]

Does bobbing (on) alter negatively on your PvP? Or is bobbing off better?

Personally I keep it off. I find it annoying. I don't think it has any effect on your PvP. Maybe your fps a bit though. I could be wrong.

Generally, it doesn't make a noticeable difference.
However, since "Bobbing" is literally shaking your camera up and down a little bit while you move, it can jitter your screen while you fight, causing a tiny bit of unnecessary movement which can lead to unexpected dizziness or confusion. It's quite unnecessary.
Personally, I have it off.

I personally keep it off, i just find it distracting when i pvp and it also has a negative effect on my FPS if i turn it on.

Off, better aim.

Most PvPers turn it off because it jerks the screen a little, which is not needed or wanted. Some say it lowers FPS very slightly. However, Youtube audiences generally find view bobbing to be more professional and realistic, so most big Youtubers turn it on. I have noticed that Europeans like using view bobbing more, for some unknown reason, just like Europeans enjoy Solar Frost a lot more than the Americans.

When off, it gives me the impression that I run faster, just like with higher FOVs.

I personally have it on, just because it looks smoother and nicer. It doesn't seem to affect my pvp, or frames in any way.
I guess it's really just personal preference; I used to have to it off and there's really no difference.

The only negative [to me] with bobbing on is when you optifine zoom in it can make your eyes and head quite sore.

If you're accurate enough to have perfect aim with it on, keep it.
However, since it moves the camera back and forth, I would turn it off if you're truly trying to tryhard. (Three consecutive words starting with tr-!)

I usually have bobbing off. I get much better aim, and I tend to get light-headed with the screen moving whenever you run.

 

[Ephiza]

off. less of a distraction.

Off for sure.

When bobbing is on, it also shows other players bobbing, and when trying to shoot people, it can affect your shot. Also it affects your rod as well.
