[Gameplay] Caitlyn W (traps) ignoring champions

Champions can sometimes literally walk right past traps since patch 5.22. Champion hitbox is clearly in contact with the trap's hitbox, but it doesn't snap. What's the point of placing 2 traps to secure an entrance if enemies can just walk right through them?

I linked a video where Thresh walks through the trap without setting it off, and then kalista walks through it and it does go off. I find no reason for the trap not to pop on Thresh in the first place.

Kalista did walk on it but Thresh hugged the wall just right to walk past it.

I believe that both champions hugged the wall the same way. You can see that Thresh has an Aura because of his item. That Aura is even SMALLER than his HITBOX (which is a circular surface centered on each champion). So his hitbox was clearly in contact with the trap's hitbox despite him hugging the wall. Both circles came into contact, so there is no reason for the trap not to pop. This issue had NEVER happened before. It started happening since patch 5.22. I believe they have done something weird to the trap's hitbox, so now it is as small as a grain of sand.
