Hi,
I hate op skywars with a passion, and I'd just like to show you why. It is completely impossible to kill someone that has full diamond armor and food without knocking them into the void. In the video you see my opponent hitting me almost perfectly, but he still doesn't get close to killing me.
So if you can't knock your opponent into the void because you're not fighting on a tiny island and don't have a knockback sword (or your opponent has anti-kb), you have to fight until you destroy all the sets of armor they collected and also all they collect from chests during the fight. This can easily take 10-15 minutes. In the video I got lucky that my opponent got banned after a few minutes, but you can see that It would've taken very long for my extra sets of amor to break and I still would have had the chance to get more armor from chests.
It's usually not rewarding to engage in a fight. Your armor will get damaged and you can't collect their armor since you have to either knock them off or destroy their armor. It is way easier to sneak up on people and shoot them off from behind than it is to engage in a fight. Some people might like this, but I don't.
I don't really know how to fix this, but it would already be a lot less annoying if you knew wether a game would become the total mess op is before the game starts, maybe allow people to vote in the pregame lobby and announce the chosen gamemode 5 seconds before teleporting to the map so people have time to leave.
The armor seems to be balanced with 1.8 mechanics in mind, it has to be nerfed a lot for 1.9.
The amount of golden apples is ridiculous, I'd prefer about twice as many golden apples as there are currently enchanted golden apples.
In FFA and Survival Games the op option simply makes fights last longer, I still prefer normal, but it doesn't completely break the game. In skywars fights can either end quicker because it's easier to knock people off or take way too long and mostly depend on your luck at getting many sets of armor.
TL;DR
Armor is way too strong in op Skywars, even 1.9 killaura can't kill you as long as you have armor.
