Elyra need to be nerfed in combat situations

Elyra are unique in that they don't disappear when broken, so that fact should be used to nerf it in combat because every time you get in a fight, there is no commitment when at a moment's notice, you can fly hundreds of blocks away in moments.

There should be a risk in pulling out elytra during a battle, and after watching a video of an air fight, I realized that Elyra can't be shot down.

So what I was thinking is that when an arrow hits you in the air, you could lose control for a few seconds, and your elytra could take major durability damage to not only make flying risky but to award the shooter for hitting such a small and fast target.

Also, because fireworks are slow and are explosive, they should break the elytra instantly. Also what I thought could be cool is when flying with broken elytra, you should fly in random directions like a real plane falling out of the sky.

    I would have to argue that Elytras don't need a combat nerf, other than the falling plane idea when you lose all durability. When you wear the Elytra, you have significant less armor making you very weak to attacks. Not to mention that you also have to manually take it on and off giving the opponent time to attack as well.

    I think it would already be a lot better if the elytra just stopped working for a few seconds after getting shot by a projectile, much like the shield disabling by brutes and ravagers. It would make it actually possible to defend against elytra players and it is above all just funny to be able to shoot people down.
