Lol, 1.8 pvp is dead because everyone is salty over having to try to use skill and aim so pretty much 95% of servers have 1.8 enabled
The thing with 1.8 pvp is that it takes no skill... All you need to do is to be able to click the quickest. My opinion 1.9 pvp is better as it actually takes skill to be able to fight properly
1.9 PVP is better, because it requires skill instead of spamming the everliving shit out of your mouse.
Actualy, although I do prefer 1.9 pvp. 1.8 pvp does take some skill, albeit not alot. You do need some aim, but once you master that its just a pure spam click fest.
And it is considerably more difficult to aim when you're busy spamming the shit out of your mouse button. 1.9 pvp all the way
Aw HELL na, all my friends say 1.8 "takes more skill", because you have to click fast , 1.9 all the way
