Ashe's Ult Arrow

Kit Ballard·5/24/2015, 8:35:55 PM·49 votes·10,916 views

On a number of occasions I've been hit by Ashe's Ult arrow when graphically I shouldn't have and it's really starting to annoy me to no end. I understand there's a Splash for Slow, but I always end up getting stunned instead when I'm graphically far from the actual arrow itself. Please either update the graphic to match the actual hit box of the arrow, or shrink the hit box to match the arrow's size.

There was actually a secret hidden Teemo there every time. Just bad positioning.

I made the same post about jinx's ult hitbox and got insta -10 downvotes. when reporting a bug, downvoting shouldnt be allowed. it's just making it harder for riot to see the bugs.

Yep, just the usual Riot hitbox fails. Sadly, they just insist everything is fine and do nothing.

Your problem might be Jinx, not Ashe.

If I recall right, Jinx's pigtails are part of her hitbox, so even though your body is far away your hair's right on top of the arrow. You might be able to dodge it in the exact same position if you're turned towards the arrow (not positive on that though).

NIdalee's spear does a similar thing.

Blitz's hand is similar. No matter how small it looks, its hitbox is the size of 3 Nautilus lined up shoulder to shoulder.

On the first picture i would agree with you, you were entirely out of range of that but on the second you clearly took an arrow to the knee

I especially hate this effect with Thresh's hook. The thing is no where near me and then magically its trajectory is corrected and it blinks into position connecting to me and pulling me...

This is the fail client prediction code by riot. This season I have also seen many skills go right through a target without affecting them. I have also ulted a player with poppy to see the effect just blink off of them and my skill's on cooldown... No item cleared the effect. Just pure bug.

stfu jinx your rocket does 400+ aoe at rank 1 with bf sword. and has the hitbox of an obese whale.

lmfao talking about hitboxes while playing jinx.. pffffttttttttt

you had to walk around the creep because you didnt micro correctly around the creep. thats how you got hit.

Learn to click closer to your char.

Yw.

Reducing the arrow width is absolute a bad idea. Did you known Jinx rocket has a larger hitbox than Ashe. Not to mention the projectile speed that is just rediculus low on Ashe. The arrow suppose to be able to be used on other lanes. But it's pretty risky to use when you don't fire it from the base into another lane.

Droogzy5/25/2015, 4:25:58 PM2 votes

Yeah I have noticed the hitbox is massive on her arrows, definitely needs to be toned down for sure.

Not a jab or an insult, but I just think its funny you bring it up while having Jinx in your second picture who has the same issue with her ultimate XD.

ArkenStorm5/25/2015, 2:59:01 PM2 votes

yeah, and then there's always when it looks like it went right through you and didn't actually hit you.

This is bound to happen, you are actually always ahead of where you actually are since your commands need to be sent to the server and processed. There isn't really a good way around this. It's the same reason you can get behind cover in Call of Duty and then get shot and die.

It seems like it hits the edge of Jinxed squared hitbox Well I think that's what happened at least

Raxxxus5/25/2015, 12:04:00 AM1 votes

ashes arrow is bending like nidalee spears, so i dont think they will fix it since they never fixed the magic hits on the nidalee spears either

Ryvaku5/25/2015, 3:35:53 AM1 votes

So it's more a visual bug?

KidMalicious5/25/2015, 7:21:16 AM1 votes

It would appear that there is something seriously wrong with Ashes arrow. I have seen arrows that are both not hitting when they should and connecting when wide. To the extent that entire teams on both sides stopping mid game to question why some are passing straight through people and others are connecting on a miss. I never noticed this pre-patch and perhaps that was due to a lack of her being played. Many are saying latency, which could be, but would multiple people experience the same illusion? Anyway that's just my sample size of one, dropping by to say you aren't alone. (I very very rarely play Ashe so this has little impact on my personal experience)

EverTokki5/25/2015, 7:25:21 AM1 votes

Shhh, it's a secret. The hitbox of her ult is the only reason I play Ashe.

It could have been a lag issue.
