The Fishing Rod Is Not Gone. -_-

[SixZoSeven]

But you're glad it's popularized because you don't think it's worth people's time and you can easily beat it, giving a slight meaning that they're wrong for using it.

Anyway, it was meant to be a joke. Sorry if you were slightly offended or anything.

They are not wrong for using it, but merely using it in the wrong way.

Could you tell me the differences in what way they use it? I'm actually quite interested.

Sure this somewhat relates to the topic at hand, but please take this "debate" to a private conversation or something.

Hey there, I appreciate your concern.
However, seeing as the ideas being conveyed between Darkrai and I are directly correlated to the thread topic, I am respectfully but assertively going to continue. You label it as a debate when it is simply a discussion in which different opinions and viewpoints are being exchanged.

Back on topic: What ends up happening is people simply hit others with the fishing rod and think they did something effective.
Although it puts them into a positive mentality, it gives them a false sense of success. Other than that, I really couldn't put it into words. Perhaps tomorrow once I am a bit more awake, I will elaborate a bit.

My personal thoughts in a TL;DR version of the entire subject of fishing rods is: Great for water team tactics and breaking sprint ( i.e. hitting them into a tree or wall while chasing them) however I have yet to see someone use said fishing rod against me in direct PvP in an effective way. Really all I see happening is just a slight delay from when our swords clash as the enemy pushes me back a block or two. Nothing more, nothing less.

Out of curiousity, what are your Internet speeds? Or more directly your ping to MCSG, someone who lives right next to the servers and I did a little test.. Fishing rods aren't really effective against players with great Internet.

I used to get an average connection to the servers where I used to live. I moved closer s couple months ago so I get some really nice ping to the US servers.

The fishing rod only helped me escape. I never had the ability to knock people into walls.

I'm not good with fishing rod tactic, so I just stopped trying.
haha

Ever since I learned the tactic I do admit I overuse it a bit. But hey, gotta work on our weaknesses. I'm glad you posted that original comment because I, honestly, would have been that guy that just plain relies on the fishing rod for like... Everything

 

[SniperSnakez]

I was good... Before that fishing rod tatic

 

[MJM239]

Wait, the fishing rod was a legitimate strategy? I thought people did that when they knew they were going to die.
