Played a match vs a Thresh whom seemed a little bit buggy and thought I should bring it to some attention. Please fix :/...

Blitz has the same problem, people just misjudge hitboxs.

What am I seeing that I shouldn't be seeing?

What's the bug? Looks like the missile width is wider than the visible hook and the champion hit box is wider, which is both true and intended.

to be fair, why is it so hard to make visuals match the actual hit boxes. With riot going on these"clarity" rampages this kind of thing seems more important. barely dodging a skillshot is the best way to dodge it.

Because the visual of a skillshot does not always match how easy they want it to be able to land, and champions of very different sizes exist. It's as simple as that.

My point is, you can make jinx bigger to match her hitbox, you can make thresh have a larger hook at the end of his chain. Neither of these is a hard task and neither makes things suddenly look weird (so what if jinx is taller but has the same proportions?).

This obviously isn't nearly as bad as, for example, sona's old r animation which just outright lied, but it still would help to know if you're safe from a skillshot or need to move a bit more.

I think a larger Jinx would be awkward. But that's an average example; think about the yordles!

I thought yordles actually had smaller hit boxes? I can understand your point though. Just trying to figure out how to make it clear. At least if you're playing a champion you can learn where their hit box is and adapt, skillshot hitboxes should be more accurate though, since it's unreasonable to expect a player to know every potential opponents abilities hitbox size relative to the visual indication.
