I keep dying on Badlion because all people do are ROD and then CRIT. Then start running and repeating the process. I try dodging, no success. I try rodding, but I lag.
Can anyone tell me how to dodge Rods, or mess them up and get a strafe on them?:)

Welcome to Minecraft PvP in 1.7 and after....

*reminisces about how good it used to be in 1.6 and before*

Anyways, I have no idea honestly. You're basically saying that you can't do what you need to in order to PvP, so basically all I can say is try to use the rod yourself (Ew I just said that, I sound like such a tryhard) and try to find solutions to your lag. If you don't have the Optifine mod installed I highly recommend that to boost your FPS.

I don't think you really can. However, if they're hitting you with your rod, try hitting them back. It works for me and they can't actually get crits

Alright here's what I would say, since you take vanilla knockback I would assume a rod does a lot of annoying knockback. Strafe a bit and allow him to rod u but when he goes to crit, rod and imediatlly jump and sword it therefore rod tricking him doing way more damage and screwing him over. I don't usually care to much if someone rod spams becuz I get hits while they rod

Why don't you just run or leave the fight if all that's all your opponent is doing. I keep seeing these threads and particularly by the same person. We can only give you so much advice to help you, the only real way to enhance your skill is to just learn through your own mistakes and you physically playing the game, as opposed to us giving you advice. I wish you the best of luck! :)

You have to try to predict your opponent and strafe accordingly. However, I am a skrub so I may be wrong.

WE GET IT!
We know you're having problems with rods! You don't have to keep making threads about it!
Just LOOK at your recent threads list.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


You have made SIX threads just complaining about people rodding you. A part of the game. Now go look up some PvP tips and tricks with the rod instead of coming here to complain about avoidable issues. And if you literally can't find one, don't keep posting threads, especially if your problem is on Badlion.

I honestly feel bad for you, but come on, it's getting to be really annoying.
