Using the rod in the "noobs" way (as in, spamming it to keep people away from you) is pretty easy, anybody can do that. In order to be good with the rod, however, takes practice and experience. It takes a while to hone in on aiming and timing your rod hits correctly in order to result in solid combos. To add on to that, the rod incorporates more opportunities to get larger combos, whether through some sort of straight line or strafe.

now that's just not true. it took me MAYBE 2 weeks to get good with a rod, and that was when I first joined and only really played Roxbot to practice

Roxbot is a good server for practicing PvP.

Well it depends on how effectively you can use it. Two weeks can make you effective, but to be really good it can take months.

I have to agree with the first part just a bit. I guess you could go and play the MCSG kit 1v1's on Badlion. Also battlegrounds is good too.

This was a year ago.

I don't need to get better in mcsg style pvp anymore, I've been doing it for 2+ years (I played hive for a year don't judge me).

Sadly, we need rods to be a part of this game. There'd be no way to determine PvP skill without them, considering how badly the sprint button ruined PvP. There's a reason why the Better Sprinting Mod was never allowed on MCSG during 1.6 and prior, and it's because it would make PvP too balanced and all that's required to be good is aiming, clicking and luck. So, fishing rods are basically the only way to make PvP somewhat based on skill again.

that's just not true either. For one thing, spamming w will reduce your knockback, and now the skill gap is still very obvious, but not as clear as before.

A skilled player will have-Good aim

Be able to circle you 4 dayz

Be able to lock you into combos like this- (Ik ik pot pvp, but whatever the technique still works)-

(Skip to 2:01)

Have a decent cps (9-10 is ok)

And most importantly, they won't need to rodspam you to kill you.

Rod requires timing and aim, pretty much everything does in PVP as well.
