Alright boys, so something I have been noticing starting maybe a month or so ago is that thresh's hook has been acting strangely. It would appear that the hook is hitting targets that should have been safely behind other hitboxes or simply the hook landing a phantom grab. I play on fairly low ping, spikes to 45 ms at most which is why I believe this to be something more than a game misscomm coupled with the fact that this started recently. Among everyone that I play with we all have experienced this bug or have seen it happen in our games. When I see this happen on streams or happening to others in games I am in it appears as if the hook whiffs but then locks to a target like a magnet soon after. Other instances I have had happen to myself was standing inside a minion wave and having the hook go through a minion to hit me, or having the "hook" part of the hook pass through my character model and then hit a jungle mob past me. I imagine that at some point the hook's hitbox got messed up at some point or another.

As far as a step by step way to recreate the bug all there is to do is to start throwing hooks and paying very close attention to where they travel and how targets near it are effected.

TLDR: thresh hook hitbox got messed up some number of recent patches ago and cause hooks to act unpredictably and improperly.
