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.

Can we at least get an indicator or have the model changed to represent this so we don't feel like we just got hooked by an invisible force and bullshitted out of a lead.

You're right that it's not just a problem with a Blitz Q, but Blitz's Q is the most punishing and extreme, hence it's viewed through a magnifying glass in relation to the hitbox problem.

Morgana's Q would like to remind you that you should just AFK to go eat a sandwich after getting hit with this thing.

I main Morgana (although I play her less late) and she doesn't have the follow-up to all-in you the way Blitz does. Plus, her binding moves slower and doesn't pull you in. Yes, hitboxes are a thing, but my point about Blitz's being the most punishing was all I was getting at.

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

The hitbox is the same for everyone so it's not a huge problem once you know it

It's a pretty big problem if it's the same for everyone. It's pretty much unfair for the entire community if the hitbox doesn't match the visual.

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 would honestly trade over new champions to update old models. There are so many outdated and ugly models in the game it would do so much for everything just to be coherent.

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.

Oh that won't happen - they're revamping Runes and Masteries. Literally one of the biggest changes since inception.

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.

ElsewiseOct 27, 20171 votes

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.)

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.
