So, Tridents are supposed to be predominantly underwater weapons. They do not suffer the negative impacts other projectiles do underwater, can help against aquatic mobs, fly you in rain, summon lightning during storms. Yet, Riptide, which is an enchantment that lets you get pulled by your Trident, is all but useless. Even Level 3 Riptide barely moves you at all. You can swim faster, between the charge and release time to go all the way. Heck you even travel farther launching into the air using Riptide, than you travel in the water! **This makes literally zero sense.**
I suppose this thread is a suggestion that the underwater travel distances using Riptide get buffed so that there's actually a benefit to making one.
