How is iron PvP?

During survival pvp this was a massive bug and actually got people to stop using iron to pvp and went onto diamond because of this bug. It was fixed during raid map 2 and now in raid map 3 it has come back, as if they had just re rolled raid back to survival pvp and called it raid with a koth. This bug is when you're fighting and switching between soups and sword, most of the time, the hits will not register therefore, causing iron fights to just be whoever gets the combo first wins. This is only a big problem in iron fights as you usually take 3.5-4 hearts a hit, therefore having to rapidly switch between swords and soups to actually fight whereas in P4 fights you don't soup every second so you actually have a chance of hitting them.

I feel like iron fights aren't that fun in raid map 3 as they were in map 2 because of this bug. @Eil
