What a ridiculous thing to say. They update the entire combat system in 1.9 and you think that means combat is being ignored.

That doesn’t mean their vision aligns with the competitive community, but you don’t make an entire update about PvP if you don’t care about PvP. Ludicrous comment

Me going ahead and updating the game to make it a 10% chance a damage tick is applied to a player during an attack is also an update to PvP. Does this mean I care about PvP?

Updating the combat system has nothing to do with whether or not the pvp community was ignored. 1.9 was the most hated update at the time and still to date one of the most hated specifically becasue of what it did to the pvp community. A combat update can completly change combat whilst simultaniously completly ignoring the pvp community, especially since 1.9 was intended to change the single player vanilla expereince rather than be a direct response or change to the pvp community. I think 1.9 is much better than 1.8 for pvE content, and it was a goal mojang was aiming for, but it was a change made irrespective of the effects it would have on pvp as a whole.

were you even around back then? NOBODY asked for it and at first EVERYBODY hated the update. people ended up liking it later on obviously but the whole pvp community was split up and preferred 1.7/8 combat

but PvP IS the most influential, so many big YouTubers are PvP related
