Remove Whales or Fix The whale head glitch​

Detailed description:

Many options players struggle with individuals who abuse the head glitch when engaged in combat. It's almost guaranteed that you'll meet your demise against these players, as they exploit the combination of skull splitting and the head glitch to secure an easy kill on those affected by the glitch. The current situation leaves you with two choices: either remove the glitch entirely, which would likely satisfy the majority, or remove the Whale. The latter option may cater to certain individuals who lack skill but can still eliminate well-equipped players using just a basic axe, a mask, and a spare set. Isn't this an imbalance?

In version 1.8.9, the focus was primarily on axe and sword PvP, reminiscent of the good old days. It used to be incredibly enjoyable. However, the prevalence of players utilizing the head glitch, especially with the whale ability, has changed the dynamics. It's become increasingly rare to witness fair fights without the influence of the glitch. This situation can be quite frustrating.

The issue at hand revolves around fixing the head glitch to restore the enjoyment of PvP battles. The aim should be to create an environment where skill matters, rather than favoring those who rely on the whale ability without demonstrating actual proficiency. In the past, warp PvP arenas were bustling with 30 to 50 players engaging in continuous combat, and it was a blast. Sadly, the current state seems tailored for individuals who don't need any skill whatsoever to succeed.

Reason(s):

Players often find themselves discouraged from engaging in PvP when certain mechanics encourage extreme competitiveness instead of allowing them to concentrate on straightforward farming. The whale ability, in and of itself, is overpowered, but the real issue arises when players exploit it in combination with the head glitch to secure effortless kills without any real battle. Isn't this situation quite frustrating? A significant number of individuals have already voiced their agreement on the fact that the whale ability is fundamentally flawed. It undeniably takes away from the overall enjoyment of the game.​

Example(s):

For instance, consider a specific individual who invests significant effort into acquiring decent gear. This gear enables them to engage in PvP with other players and potentially acquire valuable items such as those from King of the Hill (KoTH), Pyro, Soul Ender, or any other valuable items. This hard work is undertaken with the assumption of gaining an advantage in battles. It's true that there's still a risk of dying, but the outcome largely hinges on their personal skills. However, when encountering a situation where the individual is "whaled" (subjected to a whale ability), even if they're equipped with KoTH items or other valuable gear, they are prone to being defeated within a mere five seconds after falling victim to the whaled head glitch.​
