Well so, this thread is about Creepers (Duh), and how they are (or not) overrated. I mean, lets see... they explode-suicide for no real reason at all, and thus they defeat themselves (LOL). But thats not the point, its pretty possible for them to 1 hit kill you (I think you may be able to survive a full force explotion with armor, but I never use any armor so someone can confirm this? Also, the difficulty does affect the damage...), apparentily they have a complex AI (For Minecraft standars, anyways) and may be around corners, waiting to suicide bomb on you. AND they survive daylight.AND they can destroy your creations... Ok, apparentily a very deadly, and maybe even overpowered mob, right?...
Well, In My Honest Opinion Creepers are overrated. You know, all of the abdove is pretty bad, but to me its just the easiest mob to deal with after Zombies. Just KILL THEM. I know, that seems way too vage saying it like that, but its just the awnser. I wanna know why, honestly people have such a hard time with Creepers? You just go with any kind of sword, hit them and go back, until it dies... I dont see whats the problem. As for the destroying your base thing, just light it up and they cant spawn there. And when you get a bow its ridicously easy too (to be fair, the bow makes any enemy a piece of cake, save maybe the skeleton , Who By the way I think actually deserves to be the one that gets most of the hate since for me its the hardest one of them all with it´s AIMBOTS).
Basically, the ONLY time I think a Creeper may be deadly is in cave sistems when they just wait there. And even then... they are overrated imo (Althougt It never happended to me, yet).
This all begin said, I like the fact that Creepers are pretty much the face of Minecraft and easily the most well know mob, I just simply cant understand why it stands out as the hardest mob to deal with and I would love to know THE REASON
TL; DR I dont know why Creepers are know as the hardest enemies on the game since they are (For me at least) the 2nd easiest enemy. ITT: Opinions.
I can see your point and partly agree with it. A lone creeper in an open field is not much of a threat… but throw in a few of his buddies in a dark narrow cave and you've got yourself a situation (and no, I'm not talking about that douchebag on Jersey Shore!).
I also believe that attacking a creeper in melee with anything weaker than an iron sword is taking unnecessary risk; it's not impossible, but since it will take more hits to kill hit, you'll have more chances to mess up somewhere…
I agree with Bump. They rarely kill me. The only time they are deadly, it's when they catch you by surprise, and that is avoidable, by looking around, at night, and during the morning clean up. In caves it's actually LESS difficult, because they can only come from behind, or in front,

I agree that creepers are a bit overrated, but they are WAY more dangerous then skeletons. Have you never been thrown off a mountain by one. If you don't know what you're talking about dont say it. You obviously have never seen them on a mountain or a cave or a group. Those creepers just sneak up on you and BANG, you're dead. FTW.

Yes I have seen them In groups of up to five and they in fact tried to kill me all together lol. I just killed them all with a sword and only took minimal damage from the explosions (Around 3-4 hearts I dont rememeber well). Besides, of course they are going to be more dangerous if they are in more numbers, that also applies to every mob...
Also, I have never been suprised by a Creeper/s... and strangely I want to be to so if I can get this whole Creeper hatelove thing... Well, to be fair, it somewhat happended ONE time. Well I dont wanna derail the whole thread so I am going to make it short: I just wanted to exit from a cave sistem to the surface (Y:65), I found it and it was in the middle of the ocean, and then there was close an island with a creepers on it, I thougt it didnt saw me but apparentily he did because as soon as I look to another place for 5 secs it blowned up with me. LOL. But it only happended once in a blue moon.. So yeah, IMO they are still overrated.
Okey WTF does this mean, I just created this thread today and I just happended to play Minecraft 5 mins ago and a Creeper appeared out of nowhere and almost killed me LOL. It never happended to me before, why does it happen now?
Nah. there is no real difference between easy, normal and hard other than the damage mobs do... Witch is stupid, since its the exact same thing except more annoying -.-
Well one of the things with creepers is that they do damage to blocks and not just you. This can be potentially worse than just taking damage yourself.

Creepers aren't, in my mind, overrated. Considering how many times I've been blown off of my mountain-above-the-clouds house...
