A note about "bullshit" hitboxes

We have all had the experience of getting hit by a single skill shot that directly led a death, whether it was a nidalee spear or thresh hook or leblanc chain. We have also questioned the Rito gods when we get hit by a skill shot that looked like it should have missed. Well I'm here to comment on that experience.

A while ago I heard someone (probably a high-elo streamer, I forget who) say that champions also have hit boxes and that most people forget to take them into account. If a skill shot that should've missed hits you it isnt due to a bullshit ability hit box, but actually your champion's hit box. So next time you die from a skill shot that looked like it was going to miss keep in mind that your champion's hit box is probably larger than you thought it was, that or your opponent is a high-elo smurf from Korea who is also scripting.

Happy hunting!

Instead of a potion that makes your champ larger, there should be one that makes your champ smaller.

Hitboxes should be displayed more clearly in the game

did you know that Ekko's Q can hit you when you're behind him?

There's also the FoV problems. If your camera is in a specific position, abilities won't appear to be hitting champions, but will deal damage. It's easiest to see with abilities that have very small hit boxes.

Le bl chain width got reduce now its roughly 5 width to tin imo .. Nidalee spear width also got reduced

And as Someone said Champions have uncorrect hitboxes to
