Fix Thresh's Hitbox Already

Just a few examples from literally 1 minute of searching. This has been going on for a long time.

Thresh is already an extremely strong champion, he doesn't need this hidden power of a semitruck sized hitbox wearing a Prius costume. At least it has the courtesy of missing when it should hit sometimes.

Looks like it his the target while they're in mid dash, it's a bug. Thresh's hook hits where they were before the dash, while they're dashing. Wat.

That's part of it. But I've seen it literally hook over minions to get someone on the other side. I've seen it go through people and hook minions. I've seen it literally hit someone 3 feet away from it, or miss directly through someone.

I've never seen more issues with skillshots than I've seen with Thresh, Morgana being a close second.

All skillshots are like this, they get some extra hitbox at the end for ease of use.

Its just really noticeable with visual chain abilities like thresh, lb, and blitz since the rope magically moves to connect the champions.

In a competitive game such as League of Legends, a clarity issue of this magnitude (concerning the hitbox and its mechanics) is boarderline embarrassing, considering how long it has been affecting games.

If these videos aren't enough proof of a great many problems with hitboxes, go ahead and YouTube it. I don't care if it's not just Thresh. I've thought skillshot hitboxes needed an overhaul for a long time. This is just one of the worst offenders.

To be fair, most of those look more like bugs or server lags that have nothing to do with hitbox. And https://i.gyazo.com/073f6d84e4edb0d5f3c53c8ae86138dc.png or https://i.gyazo.com/f1d43dc0566cc56c3a721a69b36138dd.png hitting isnt really anything to complain about.

Of course not.

I've gone into custom games with ~10 ping and get weird hit detection interactions with Thresh Q. I'm not sold that lag is to blame. It strikes me as odd that Thresh's hitbox is single handedly the most complained about.
