WHAT IS WITH THE FISHING ROD COMBOS

[UndeniableZombie]

I haven't played MCSG in days, I come on and then fight someone and they rod me and they keep getting hits.

I have no idea what is happening with it...but they are now doing it in the water as well

I haven't played SG since before the leaderboard update, so I have no idea what is up with the fishing rods. I'll probably start playing again once I finish building my PC. :]

What exactly is going on that shouldn't be? I can try to bring it up to developers in the moderator meeting later today. The more detailed a description, the better I can explain it.

Well I went into combat and this guy had a fishing rod, he rodded me and I couldn't attack him.

I'm think this has to do with 1.8 PvP and is not exclusive to MCGamer within the past few days. If you go to battlegrounds and test this out, you'll realize that if you are walking or moving backwards while your opponent is moving forwards, you can almost never get a hit on them. It's similar to the extended reach of when you are underneath someone on ladders or underwater. This makes fishing rods much more beneficial then before, especially if used correctly during combat.

Mojang is working on a 1.9 PvP update and I'm hoping they address this. As someone that doesn't use rods (or any secondaries for that matter lolz) I'd love to see improvements to that mechanic.

This has nothing to do with 1.8, from what I have seen.
