Pull Hitboxes Need to be Fixed

Kisaragi Yuffie·Jan 15, 2020·2 votes·1,455 views

There is a terrible problem that I've been noticing with all pulls on champs, except for Thresh which is weird. For some reason, the animation for pulls extends far passed the designated range on the tooltip, and even when you're outside that designated range, if the ANIMATION hits you, you're pulled. I'll take my last game as Kennen against Darius as an example. There were tons of moments in the game where the animation wasn't even close to hitting me at all, yet I was pulled anyway and I died. It was clear to see that I was FAR outside the animation, and yet I'm pulled. Riot, I swear, please fix this mechanic for all pulls. There is no reason that they should do this. PLEASE fix it.

The hitboxes in this game are goofy and would take a ton of work to fix, which would make 0 lcs bucks.

Even if it'll take a ton of time and effort to fix, it's still something that needs to be done. Making "0 lcs bucks" makes no difference either if it's for the good of the game. It's just like deleting champs instead of reworking them, it would be for the good of the game and help it come closer to better balance. Like seriously, we don't need anymore new champs, we need to start getting rid of some. Illaoi, Yasuo, and Katarina (I'll save this one for a separate discussion) to name a few. Hell, they've already removed old Aatrox from the game entirely (as seen in Exil's video about the champ), why can't we start removing others, especially if they're too broken to properly balance? They won't even touch the idea of removing champs, despite the fact that they KNOW they need to (let's be real, Illaoi tho? Like damn that bitch can't be balanced).

Thresh is actually the worst offender for weird hooks, they will totally desync 500 units away and make a weird instant jump to you

all support CC is super lolipopped so people will actually play the role and so that the types of people who can only manage to play that role feel impactful without having to land real skillshots, like i'm sorry but i've seen Jinx rocket touch people as it goes by and not explode, shit is a joke.

An even worse offender for janky and bs hitboxes is Jhin. Like, I've been a good 300 units away from his W before and I'm still hit for some reason. His hitbox is legit thinner than fucking paper and it can hit you when you're nowhere even close to it? Come on Riot. Fix the damn game already.

Lux's hitbox isn't as bad as Jhin's dude. You can literally be 3 of Jhin W hitboxes away from his W and it will still hit you. That's a major problem.
