Ahri's (E) and it's inaccurate hitbox! (VIDEOS INSIDE)
**Yes I'm re-informing League of this error for the second time. Now hopefully I can get someone, anyone from Riot to fix this. **
On the PBE, there have been significant changes to Ahri to help get her in a steadier and happier place. I truly love this champion, so this is my feedback toward her help her. You can support it with an upvote if you'd like to do so.
Now in the past, I've made the comment about Ahri's charm having a messed up hitbox and another user (not Riot) has stated that this helps keep her balanced. But honestly, balance should not be derived from faulty mechanics of a hitbox. Balance should be settled through accurate statistics. That is why Riot is ALWAYS updating champions with nerfs, buffs, and fixes.
I have went through a few of her skins to prove my point, and have even drug Jinx along the way!
I want to discuss Jinx's ZAP first! I've heard users (not Riot) say that they have an easier time landing Jinx's W than they do with Ahri's charm. And its true. Look closely into this video. The end of the pointer for her Zap, off of quick cast, is barely even touching the enemy dummy, but it strikes it SEVERAL times both on and off the dummy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHxDZVwuaAk&feature=youtu.be
Now look at this for Base Ahri's charm!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2DVU4zWXho I did a video to demonstrate!

This image displays the pointer of the charm, to demonstrate where the actual hitbox of the enemy dummy is.

This image displays her charm finally reaching the dummy, but no affect.
These 2 videos help display the hitbox of the dummy, the hitbox of the charm, and then the charm animation.
Both hitting and not hitting the dummy. Keep a close eye on the animation as well, as to not miss the isssue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oT8RJXt-jvM&feature=youtu.be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVIQeMC1s4o&feature=youtu.be
Now for Ahri's Popstar skin...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thIOVJqVm8k
In this video, I use Ahri's charm DIRECTLY pointed at the dummy, and it takes 0 affect.
Then I thought... Okay, maybe the animation is shorter?
Well, then I recorded this video, I was just playing with my mouse for a moment moving it around, spamming her charm, and then BAM I hit the Dummy... same distance as the first video, but somehow.... I hit it? But this time, the normal cast arrow ISN'T even touching the dummy????!!!!
(I wasn't spamming it in the video itself, just before while I was playing around with her E.)

So I went on... Arcade Ahri...
I didn't make a video for this one, cause the pictures are self explanatory.

BOOM! NOTHING. The heart even GOES THROUGH the dummy, the actual LITERAL animation of the heart goes through the dummy, and it takes no affect.
SO now for my favorite Ahri skin, Star Guardian Ahri!

Look how far away the pointer on this charm animation is.

IN this video, I start off at the length. It HITS. But then I get closer.. and closer... and closer... and ON TOP OF THE DUMMY. And NO AFFECT.
This video allows for a better view without all the numbers!

AND THUS, I PROVE MY POINT.
Her charm literally has a messed up hitbox.
Her SG one is horrid. It's almost like the hitbox is sitting a whole inch away from the actual animation. So to help us Ahri mains out, please lets get this upvoted and noticed!

This triggers me a little bit. [sg-ahri-1]
