I Have A Dream That One Day iBlitzcrank's Hook Will Be Fixed

Funny how they teased a new Blitz skin but neglect to fix this one. http://plays.tv/video/59f2107068a6b3d645/wtf-was-that-hook

Let's be honest. How hard is it to just tell your design team to spend a little bit of time to fix a minor hitbox if the consequences of it can be game breaking? You don't even have to purge every hitbox immediately and spend a lot of overtime money to fix these. Just slowly fix them when people are clearly complaining about it with clear evidence. I don't think it's excusable for an error like this to exist for multiple seasons.

Remember that most skillshots in LOL have lollypopping. They fly to max range and if they don;t hit a target they form a circle that searches for a target. It's not just a problem with blitzhook.

Blitz's hook on all skins have a stupid hitbox Not just limited to iBlitzcrank

The hook was legit, the hook model is just smaller than the hitbox

Agree with the point of the post but I can't help but laugh at the trade still going relatively decent for the Kog. xD At least he had to burn barrier.

That's why iBlitzcrank is banned from competitive play.

They know it's broken, they just can't be bothered fixing it.

I just made a few clips last night of hooks that where doing that all game...screwed everyone over in a ranked game..wasnt even fun. u dodge the skill shot..the shadow hits and pulls u. Play it in slow-mo and see 2 arms at once when it hits.

On top of some skins having really small animations for their abilities, some champions have small animations on their classic skins. On top of this some champions have skins that make them look smaller while actually maintaining the same size hitbox. It's BS

For preseason I suggest Riot goes through a bunch of abilities in the game and re-looks at their hitboxes and respective animations. If they really want they can just ask the boards for a list because we've got plenty of salty players who've been hit by hooks standing behind minions or have thrown a skillshot right through an enemy.

tbh, if my opponent wants to pick blitz and pay for a skin so he can get a few cheese hooks I don't really care. Literally, every other support outvalues him and considering he was playing with a Lulu, getting pulled by a Blitz is a good thing because it's almost impossible to lose a trade.

The problem isn't the hitbox, it's that the animation fires from the center of the model, but it's coded as if fired from his right hand (no change.)
