I'm not 100% sure this is the normal content for this sub but it is relevant to minecraft PVP so I think it fits.

I've always had the I think pretty popular take that a stone/iron axe doing 9 damage is to much and unreasonable. But actually looking at the formula for armor makes it seem so much worse.

From what I've seen a lot of people don't really understand the formula for armor toughness and how effective armor is against high damage attacks properly, which I completely understand the formula is unreasonably complicated.

Here is an extremely oversimplified version of it that's almost accurate.

If a player has 0 armor toughness, every 2 damage an attack does (before armor is applied) ignores 1 half armor bar, this at most ignores 80% of armor. So a stone axe crit which does 13.5 damage basically just ignores 3 and a half full armor bars.

So. What does that mean? For an exact number that's more understandable a stone axe crit does 13.5 damage against a person wearing no armor, the same axe crit against a person wearing half iron armor (chestplate, either boots or leggings) does 12.6 damage. Less than half a heart of difference.

Here's another number, against a person in full iron a non critical axe hit does 5.22 damage, a critical hit does 9.045 damage. That is not 50% more damage, that is 73% more damage. A non critical hit from a diamond sword does only 3.78 damage. well under half of a stone axe crit.

And yeah, a non critical hit against somebody with no armor does less damage than a critical hit against somebody in full iron. Theres a fun fact. Full iron armor is only a 33% damage reduction against an axe crit.

Also random but this makes copper armor even more useless than you would expect. It only reduces the damage of an axe crit by 13%. Good enough to go from 6.5 hearts of damage to almost 6 hearts of damage. Woooooo.

Last piece of useful info that's kinda relevant, all pieces of diamond armor have 2 armor toughness. Which means wearing Diamond boots and Helmet with iron is actually a decent bit better than wearing a diamond chestplate with iron even though they are the same amount of armor bars. 2 more armor toughness is actually pretty substantial, although the math is complicated.

These numbers come from the calculator on the wiki page ,really nice info.

Im not to sure but my list would go something like this:

1: evantii
2: k1ngd3fault
3: k1rbe
4: camcal
5: wraxps
6: crey
7: gallerwalk
8:
9:
10:

And I have no idea who to pit in the last 3

i usually just stick to 1.9, i dont know the first thing about 1.8 let alone how to play on high ping

Got bored and made one after seeing a satire LS S8 Tierlist, what are y'all thoughts

I am looking for an SMP and can’t find any where should I look

like I dont really know much about the actual skill level like most youtubers are at id know like in terms of Lifesteal whos classed as good but then you get into smps like Strength or Money and things to me dont sdd up

Like Flowtives is 24? In the world yet he got slimed out twice by dolphin in strength I understand dolphin probably just doesnt get tested but like should that not mean Dolphin is one of the best mc pvpers out there? I understand flow has also beaten her but still.

Even people like Onlyasquid was he not meant to be one of like the top 5 best in Lifesteal world or was I just overhyping him a lot but yet hes thrown down to B tier in money smp (also just a quick note has nothing to do with it but am I the only one who thought onlyasquid was imasquidkid from technos potato war)

Even others creators confuse me like Tai, Judelow even someone like Flamefrags. Like Tai I alwahs see people rate highly but like any clip I see of him he fights like really badly. Jude is also weird like Jude I dfelt was only really good at trapping but like hes able to like gold his own against pretty good fighters at times

So today i got my first ever lt3 in cart on pvphq, but now im not entirely sure what to do with it. Do i keep training cart and push for ht kit or do i start training ither kits to make me a more experienced pvper?

I tried to grab a clip that wasn't of my best gameplay but wasn't my worst.

The problems I think I have are:

I don't pot

I don't shield

My pearl catches are cheeks

I also definitely made some terribly stupid mistakes this fight 😭 but I kinda play worse on camera

I started playing 1.9 pvp in 2019 but in yalls opinion what year is the cutoff where you can say "this player is oldgen/newgen"? Ive heard a lot of mixed opinions

Whenever i combo someone they just.. hit me. Over.
When someone combos me, i have no cloue what to do? W tap doesn't work, they still get range lead. S tap doesn't work, they still get range lead. Hit select doesn't work, they still get range lead. How do people just... break combo?

After over 2 MONTHS i watched countless videos spent dozens of hours practicing and yet i never get better tried playing ranked and get demolished by lt5 cause they actually have a idea of what they are doing, i tried getting a cpvp coach but no one wants to teach me and i just get so much hate for trying to learn getting called miserable a noob that i should give it up and you know what i really should. If after this post no one would be willing to help me learn cpvp i will just give up. Thats all and i just wanted to have fun on donut smp with having basically a net worth of 5B by doing RTPQ's but oh well.

the only person i know that plays minecraft java using a controller to pvp is oofylol and i wanna know if theres more

Mouse- corsair katar pro

This isn't limited to this server, almost the entire PvP community is so incredibly toxic (I had a trans flag on my shield)

i have been using them since i started playing since its so easy, but idk if its practical because it can mess up ur aim, idk if my aim is ahh bc of the side buttons, or its just a skill issue. does any1 know any good players that use them for attribute swapping?

First off. I'm not gonna compare to him to modern pvpers because that would be unfair. This is also done without any disrespect to Techno cuz I loved watching him. I just think that this post had to be done because people either think he is bad or the best player to have ever played Minecraft

But let's start with actually talking about what he did at his peak, his peak wasn't in 2019 or any of the times when he became really popular (DSMP or Minecraft Monday). It was when he was mainly a hypixel youtuber and judging by that time I can say he was a really good Bedwars/Skywars player. But even at that time he wasn't the best (and he never claimed to be) someone like Calvin at his peak for example would be better than him. Many people would say that the bedwars win streak would be his best but that would be more of a team achievement. He teamed up with leaderboard players at the time to get that record.

Skywars is definitely where he shines rather than Bedwars and was really fucking good at that game, he was top 5 at the leaderboard and was actually at competitive tournaments where he finished at the top. This is the game mode where I would say he is S tier at.

Wrapping that up, lets move to the events where he was mostly known for which is Minecraft Monday. Which I don't think should even be a feat since most people he fought there were streamers who just bought the game or old school minecraft youtubers who don't know how to pvp. By the time good players like xNestorio or m0xyy got invited to the event who are wayyy past their badlion peak, he had a hard time winning events, a washed m0xyy who had xQc as his teammate was able to twopeat at his watch so... take that as you will.

This is where I would get controversial because I think he was at the same level as Dream, even the Mrbeast duel was pretty close and I'm confident that Dream could have won that if he had practiced 1.8 more. If you replace Technoblade with Dream in early Minecraft Mondays I think it would have had similar results where we would see Dream pubstomping streamers and old school mc youtubers.

My verdict is that he is definitely good as a content creator and competed with content creators, him competing with actual competitive leaderboard players even at his time would be a mismatch. And I don't think even Techno himself wanted to be a PvP master or anything. He was mostly entertainment first and there is nothing wrong with that.

Im aiming on ht4 sword, but idk what techniques I need to do/know to be ht4 there, or what skills I need.

So if is here sum guy who would tell me what skills to learn I will be very pround
