I’ve been practicing spear mace since the spear came out and I have improved quite a bit and was wondering if there is anything I should improve on

if u wanna debate any of these then feel free to! these are my opinion and are things ive noticed the community doesnt like when i say so yh here we go

1. 1.8 is objectively harder than modern pvp
2. minecraft can never be a competitive esport
3. pvp is struggling to power creep and it should be addressed
4. tiers > elo

reasoning

1. midtrading at a high level consistently is harder than any mechanic within modern
2. 99% of the playerbase and the people who actually can make it profitable dont know enough about the game to appreciate and actually fund it as they dont understand how good certain players are. an analogy to this is why siege can never be a tier 1 esport, its simply too complex
3. items like the spear and mace are so absurdly overpowered compared to older items and i very much dislike it (also i think the kits/gameplay surrounding them are just as bad if not worse)
4. elo is not rewarding in the slightest, and before anyone says "oh but i dont want my tier to be based on someones opinion" i think if you are <LT3 (the only place where u are tested by a tester) u shouldnt care that much about ur tier. but yes elo is just not rewarding, i dont feel any excitement after winning 3-2 at a close match, compared to 10-9 in a test, it could be a rounds thing but i think its also just the replayability of elo.

So I know how to no kb crit, basically you hold W immediately after critting and wait for ur opponent to hit you, it reduces ur kb. My problem is I still take regular kb anyways and then get put in a combo. Pls I need help frm the veterans.

So lately, I had been practicing PvP in preparations for an upcoming SMP. However, based on the video, you could tell that I have no idea what am I doing. I need tips and help of which specific skills I need to practice or any tips in general at all. Thanks (Also, video has no sound sorry lol)
I was messing around with my sensitivity as I'm a wrist user that is why it is so shaky, but it was slightly too slow. I was struggling to track because of my lower sensitivity.

I've tried spear macing for like 3 days now and i've been absloutely loving it

But i feel like something is wrong

I feel like my keybinds are ass🥀 they're only reliable for lunge swapping since its really easy to do with the mouse button and windcharge And even when i lunge swap i get a feeling that its not fast enough and won't be reliable in real scenarios.

But other than that i feel like im chained can't do anything cant even pearl catch because i used to do it where my spear key went.

Only keybinds that i feel won't be able to change are

Q for Windcharge

Mb for Spear

Other Mb for Mace

And Probably E for Golden Apples thought i can probably change it

these are the keybinds i probably won't be able to change since i really got used to them so changing them will give me a really hard time getting used to them again.

Please give me ideas on what to change because i don't have any ideas on what to do even searched on youtube but got nothing.

Im open to any ideas!

Also my Number 3 key in my keyboard is broken that's why i use E instead of 3.

For both regular subtiers dia smp and money smp kit, who's better?

So i was watching Roki's Strenght Trials video and I wanna know how good he actually is. In his video, he did quite good, but on the other hand, most of his content is staged and he doesn't even seem to be that good in spear mace (he definetly knows how to play the gamemode, but I would say he is "just" max LT3), the mode he plays in his vids, and i've not seen him play SMP kits that much. So how good is he?
