It doesn't even touch me at all. I even have enough space way from it and it still pulls towards me. Wtf is this Just think how many games people have lost due to this when the hook doesn't even touch them at all but it still hooks them

Stupid Thresh hooked you out of Ahri's charm.

I'd much rather be charmed by Ahri than death sentenced by Thresh. That's where you truly lost the game.

I looks like it connected with the very outer edge of your hitbox. Death Sentence is fine. Kog's a short champ, but his hitbox isn't any less wide than other marksmen, even though he is noticably smaller in height.

It would be great to be able to enable hitboxe display on replays. It would help with this situation so often and help people become better players by learning how to better dodge against certain abilities, and as specific champions.

Actually scripting is really important to understand how bullshit like this occurs. It shows you hitboxes of hooks and players. It includes your hitbox and the hook hitbox, and if those were to overlap at all, the scripts move you. So With that logic, the overlay of hitboxes needs to be completely dodged instead of the hitbox of the hook needing to overlap the center of the player model hitbox. It's very confusing and tough to play against.

I've seen some messed up hitboxes before, but this is by far the worst.

That's a fun hitbox

I must say this is one of the most ridiculous looking hooks I've seen in a long time. The hitbox is kinda broken but I've gotten so used to it I hardly care at this point lol

The problem is not the hook hitbox, the problem is that the animation for the hook is too small so it present incoherent situations like the one shown in that video.

Riot; Just make the animation match the actual hitbox size and people will stop complaining.

I really wish they'd clean up thresh's hook hitbox in general. :/ It happens an annoyingly large amount of the time where it looks like you dodged the hook, only for it to leap to the side to suddenly grab you. There are other spells with similar, broken hit boxes that need fixing as well. Jhin's snare and Lux's laser are pretty good examples of broken hit boxes.

Honestly hooks are generally just VERY buggy in regards to their hitboxes. Nautilus, Blitz, Thresh, Darius and Amumu (I count his as a hook) all have the absolute WORST Hitbox interactions of any skills in the game. I think it's because the game prioritizes the hook over other movement abilities etc, and ignores a lot of collision, so you get scenarios like the one shown here

on another note, has yasuo canceling his third Q animation with W always existed? because that looked quited deceptive and unfair

I don't think that should of hit. I had issues like this in game where u "dodge" a skill shot and it still lands a hit. Similar issue with Hecarim charge. If you knock him back b4 he makes contact, he still does the damg, just not the cc. Riot needs to stop letting interns code this game.
