Unfair Diamonds

[XShoopDaWhoopX]

Can you please remove diamonds? Its totally unfair because if you get them you can't lose. Please remove diamonds from the games.

This is not correct.
I have won many games with other people having a diamond sword.

No. Stupid Idea. People have won against diamond swords. Get better at playing if you always die.

I agree and disagree. While I notice the people who obtain diamonds USUALLY won, I have won before on stone and iron swords alone, without diamonds. Though, I have never been able to beat someone who has had a diamond sword, if that's what you're trying to say. The second I see someone with a diamond sword I'm just like, well F this I'm completely screwed LOL. I guess it just depends...

I was running away from a diamond guy and I jumped over lava and he ran into the lava. fun times!

That's a smart idea LOL. If I'm unequipped, I'll usually run from a guy with a diamond sword and lead him through the center. Usually the people in the center ignore me and go for the guy with the diamonds LOL.

Anyone can kill someone with a diamond sword, no matter how superior their armour and weaponry is. It's quite simple to win with an iron or stone sword, even against people with diamond. You just need the PvP skills to kill other people, and sometimes you need to know other people's weaknesses/strengths.

True! I think my issue is, my computer has a hard time handling Minecraft sometimes ( older computer ) so whenever someone gets close to me and starts hacking away at me, my computer lags hardcore. It sucks :<

Although taking away diamonds would make battles more balanced ("fair" wouldn't be the proper word to use here), it takes away from the element of the Survival Games - you should try to kill people in case they have diamonds, and you should try to take the cornucopia. I could see a lot of people just sitting by the cornucopia waiting for some noob to bite the bait instead of actually going there. The main motivation - diamonds - is taken away.

It is annoying when someone has a diamond sword and some iron armor within about 2-5 minutes, but that's probably because their strategy includes chasing down and killing people for their at-the-moment useless diamond (since you need 2).

Actually, when I see a team, sitting at the corn with full iron and diamond swords, I just suicide to quicken the pace of the game... don't really want to lose points, but don't want to have to make them chase me to the ends of the earth for 10 minutes.

Usually, though, I can have an iron sword by the time night comes and I can snatch the corn and not have to worry about this.

I've lost a few games with a diamond sword against someone with iron... The damage difference is only like half a heart or something isn't it? It's not that big of an advantage.

I didn't know it was THAT small of a difference. I DID just watch a game where someone with an iron sword completely killed someone with a diamond sword and chain mail armor.
