Personally, I simply hate the new pvp mechanics that are going to be introduced in 1.9. Minecraft player-vs-player is supposed to be a fast-paced and enjoyable duel. The new update basically adds "cool downs" to the melee weapons. This makes the pvp we have all have known into a slow fight. The cool down is roughly a second which doesn't seem that long, however what is really annoying is that you do not do full damage if you don't wait for the cool down to finish. I feel that this mechanic is straight-up useless and is only trying to cause Minecraft pvp to slow down, ruining almost its entire purpose. I know that some people (like myself) mainly only do pvp on Minecraft, and this might ruin a ton of enjoyment. Comment if you agree or disagree because if this update comes out with this (in my opinion) dumb mechanic, I'm staying in 1.8.

The cooldown of a sword is 0.6 seconds. That's only .1 seconds longer than the 0.5 seconds are player is invulnerable after taking damage.
