MLG Water practical uses in HG explained

The water bucket is a very versatile item ! It can be used in many strategical ways to beat your opponents in the Hardcore Games ! Now in MCPVP there was a whole MLG WATER culture surrounding this amazing item ! I have no idea if people here are very familiar with it but i assume they are , now i hear lots of people saying it has little to no use in the HG but i disagree , here is why :

The fact that it can save you from dying from fall damage is enough to make it amazing ! But it has more uses that arent widely circulated among the community so here are some i use on a game to game basis !

1) Use it to counter fall damage ! ( There are many ways but im not going to elaborate )
2) Use it to climb towers / any other vertical surface !
3) Drop the water when in a patch of mushrooms to collect them ! ( it breaks them and you pick them up easily)
4) Use it to put distance between you and someone who is chasing you ! ( get in a nice refill ect )
5) Use it to cover the edge of the feast to keep others from entering it quickly ( you see them and prepare for battle )
6) Make an infinite water source which has MANY uses

I could go on for ages but the rest arent very applicable to the game so yeah peace out !
