[Gameplay] [THRESH HOOK BUG]

For a long time now I've seen some questionable hooks. I've complained about thresh Q hitbox, but now this solidifies my theory that thresh's hook hitbox is literally broken. Please fix this Riot. This hook lost us the entire game. Thresh

Not sure if that was the sole thing that cost the game (given the gold margin, champion deaths and turrets that had fallen) but I would guess that it was a factor. I just measured the distance of the hooked champ from the edge of Thresh's hook in your replay and I am deducing that the champ's boundary just barely touched the edge of the hook's boundary. For a few of the champions, the boundary around the champion is a bit on the large side (here, I'm guessing the devs did it to accommodate her rifle). If it was another champion, then the hook could have easily snagged the minion - not the Caitlyn.

(A similar problem exists for the Lux ult.)

Its not a matter of Thresh's hook shot hit box being broken. It's a matter of all target hit boxes being offset by the camera angle. In reality, that Thresh hook just barely missed the front minion's hit box. Meanwhile, your own, larger hit box was just grazed, which was enough for the hook to automatically latch onto you as intended.
