1.9 Update- How will this effect murder?

[oppanko]

You know how in 1.9 there is the slow, arm, cool-down feature thing? How will that effect the way Murder works? Will the Murderer be forced to use a shovel or something with a low cool-down rate? I'm kinda concerned :/

Will there be a gamerule added to turn this feature off? I hope so.

You're right. But no, the admins won't let the murderer use a shovel instead of a knife. They'll find out a way, using their amazing developing skills. Maybe there will be a new gamerule for that, too.

There is a gamerule that allows you to disable the cooldown in 1.9.

Alternatively, a stone sword doesn't deal 10 hearts of damage when you hit someone w/o armour anyway, does it?
The game registers that as long as you struck someone with the sword, you've killed them. This will most likely stay the same in 1.9 Murder, regardless of the sword cooldown decreasing damage.

Pretty much what Aventasaurus outlined above, yep! The combat update shouldn't affect murder in any major way, don't worry!

It would just detect when any damage is dealt to the player regardless of full damage or 10% damage because of the cooldown.

True, they are amazing

But what if the murderer is with alot of people? He'll have to wait for the cooldown to stop, giving the people more time to run, shoot him/her etc.

No, because if you spam it, it still does damage. So they just detect when ANY damage is done and kill you.

Good point

That's good. Mojang was smart to put that gamerule in; if it weren't there, we would've had a serious problem.
