i do not have any footage of this, but a few times playing against a blitzcrack, he used his Q and it ended up a few units from me, and then attached to me without even touching me.

the same glitch is in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAmHTWzr9P4 although you might say it was patched since then, it occurred in patch 5.9Blitzcrank

It looked like in the video, Blitz's Q registered Jinx's pig tails as part of her hit box. Not saying it should of hit, but that might of been the cause of that issue.

I've had a thresh hook grab onto me after it already passed me. It was probably a visual glitch because it totally should've grabbed me at first. Even though the hook itself didn't quite hit me, we all know that hitbox is quite a bit bigger. I had a sigh of relief that I didn't get hooked, but it reached max range about 500 units behind me and I did anyway.

OK a couple of things happen to make this occur. And yes it does look like a glitch but it really isn't.

1.) Hit box is centered on the feet of the character/minion/monster not on the center of the graphic.

2.) Due to the angling of the map it actually creates a Oblong shaped hit-box where it is wider then it appears. ( noticeably above the champion.)

These two things lead animations to sometimes appear to miss despite hitting the hit-box of the champion.
