Can We Talk About Blitzcrank's Hitbox?

Pinkaj·Jun 11, 2017·69 votes·5,795 views

Really, his animation is not the same size as what the hitbox really is on his q.

Edit: Alright, we talk about animations not matching the hitbox now. Totally fine tho c:

I made a thread about the shit hitboxes with certain champs and I get 9 downvotes

i really dont understand leagues community

I know right.

You make a legitimate thread that has calculations and time put into it. Then you get one downvote, and everyone that could possibly be stupid enough to disagree with you does at the same time. Then boom, you're stuck in a fight against idiots.

Meanwhile, posts like this get to the front page. The title asks for upvotes with the "Anyone else" and adds no real input to the conversation.

I swear the boards needs to have a "rediquette" type system against these things.

CowseedJun 11, 20176 votes

Naah, dem people just don't read. If it's over 5 lines they probably gonna downvote for having to process something with their brains.

It's even worse when garbage clickbait threads are what get over a hundred upvotes when good threads with legitimate discussion don't even break 10. I feel like Riot should at least do something about clickbait threads appearing on the front page. They can't really make an automated system to understand what is and what isn't clickbait, but I feel like the amount of bait and switch threads just burying good ones needs to be dealt with.

And then people say "this isn't a hive mind" yet the same type of shit gets upvoted over and over again. They really should do like Reddit and hide the up/downvotes for the first couple of hours so people can't just bandwagon vote. The issue is that legitimate threads get downvoted once by someone with the mental fortitude of Mr Torgue (THAT SENTENCE HAD TOO MANY SYLLABLES, APOLOGIZE!) and then everyone else assumes that since it's downvoted you should downvote it as well and it spirals out of control.

Omfg I hate ppl that actually don't take their time to read what's actually behind the title and only look at the votes AND downvote because they have -1 votes -____-

MelledoneusJun 11, 20172 votes

This is an active issue and Riot knows it. All I can say is there is quite a bit of attention on the issue because of how it actively stifles creativity, and it sucks.

Give it time, that discussion will come eventually I guess.

SnakDatSmilesBakJun 11, 20171 votes

Don't let the discussion come, make noise or they won't hear you.

MelledoneusJun 11, 20171 votes

No, trust me, they're going on.

I think it has for whatever reason become an accepted part of the game. I have no idea why, its a pretty big issue that hasn't been addressed in years.

yoshi2790Jun 11, 20174 votes

this has been a problem for league since forever, fucking stupid shit like thresh q and lux q are aids because the hitboxes are so shit that you get caught by something that completely missed you.

and ur shit hitboxes paired with lag makes it even worse

do u fucks just jerk eachother off all day at riot? cause it seems like there are so many problems that completely go unfixed for years and years even though its a well known problem

This is your post. You know what's wrong with it? Your language. Fix your language and be polite. You won't be downvoted so easily.

oh boo hoo someone used words I dont like so its automatically bad :(((((((((

seriously grow the fuck up you 12 year old, one of the biggest problems in league thats been around forever and riot still hasnt even mentioned it or acknowledged it.

yoshi2790Jun 11, 20174 votes

You shouldn't be so angry. Really, this aggressive language doesn't help you any way, in fact, it gives you a disadvantage. Be polite and people will like you more, they'll also think you're more intelligent, more kind and a better person in general.

12 year old? Ironically, you use the language stereotypical for 12 year olds.

Why the fuck would I care about how other people feel, ur so fucking stupid too, ur completely ignoring the problem and instead focusing on other dumb shit, you'd be perfect to work at riot just another lazy fuck who wouldnt fix shit

yoshi2790Jun 11, 20173 votes

If you dont care about how other people feel, then why do you make a board post? Also, calling people names won't help you at all.

i dont care how people feel, I care about stupid shit thats in the game, thats the reason for the post

SnakDatSmilesBakJun 11, 20175 votes

You have to care about how other people feel or they won't care how you feel. When they don't care about how you feel they won't give your post any attention.

GigaPubeJun 11, 20172 votes

to my knowledge theres slightly more than 5 champions with skillshots. also if i were to put 2 and 2 together, id say you're just complaining about the champs with the strongest crowd control abilities. dont group blitz hooks with gigantic nautilus anchors that have a rational hitbox, or any other skillshots you dont like because you keep getting hit with them

... Yes, more than five champions have hitboxes. What's your point, mate?

Strongest CC does not mean CC with a broken hitbox.

Lux's Q's are far too small compared to the actual hitbox of them, Morgana Q can be caught on minions even when the actual hitbox area isn't on them, otherwise it's smacking you from about 50 miles away and 20 miles from either side.

Tresh Q, the hook isn't quite as bad, but it's still annoying when you get hit by something that's physically not touching your champion.

Naut is horrific. Just don't even try and defend him.

Fizz is the real issue though, his ult is straight up broken at this point.

GigaPubeJun 11, 20171 votes

well if i must explain it, its sarcasm. might wanna at least wikipedia what a hitbox is and maybe a few hundred other league gameplay aspects while you're at it

Strongest CC does not mean CC with a broken hitbox

that is exactly what celestine said with those specific 5 champions, maybe you should reply to them instead of me.....

Morgana Q can be caught on minions even when the actual hitbox area isn't on them

no you've just gotten flamed too many times by your adc and so just like every other bad player, you blame riot for other people being better than you in any way you can

Naut is horrific. Just don't even try and defend him

your judgement is horrific. its a gigantic anchor, biggest weapon in the game, used by nautilus, one of the biggest and strongest champs size wise, in the game. so yeah, his hook is rightfully the biggest, longest and fastest in the game. since his hook is bigger, it means its more reasonable for him to land it, and its harder for people to dodge it. so if you wanna complain about annoying hooks, you complain about blitz and thresh

Fizz is the real issue though, his ult is straight up broken at this point

lmao

BiabriJun 13, 20171 votes

I was questioning your 'sarcasm' He is not saying skillshots are broken. Those champions are champs known for sketchy skillshots in particular.

Strongest CC does not mean CC with a broken hitbox is what you were implying, those are your words.

no you've just gotten flamed too many times by your adc and so just like every other bad player, you blame riot for other people being better than you in any way you can.

Hillarious.

You're just... idiotic. We are not complaining about the size of his skillshot. We are complaining about the shit it doesn't hit and still clips to.

Fizz is the real issue though, his ult is straight up broken at this point

lmao

You fact you think this is funny is only proof of my last point.

GigaPubeJun 14, 20171 votes

gr8 b8 m8. you're "hillarious"

Sexy Jack RabbitJun 11, 20172 votes

Classic Lux is kind of bearable. Like it's as broken as the others you listed.

But honestly FUCK Elementalist Lux's Hitboxes. They literally reworked the abilities to match the hitboxes better and it didn't work. I'm still throwing Q's that hit even though they obviously didn't, and Ults hitting enemies over half a champion outside the hitbox.

WimbledofyJun 11, 20173 votes

it's mostly because of league's 3d visuals while everything in the game is actually 2d

Votable JesterJun 11, 20175 votes

I've never actually had that problem with Ele Lux. If anything, I've seen ults miss when they look like they hit. As far as her Q and E are concerned, I've never felt they were particularly inaccurate.

I swear to god fucking Nautilus' hook is something else.

TheOnlyJoeJun 11, 20171 votes

Yep, Nautilus is way out of their league. His hook is longer than the visual and the random clipping onto people triggers me so hard

Funkin DunkinJun 11, 20172 votes

That Thresh magnetism though. When your champion literally gravity well's that hook right into you :D

BBQChicken AlertJun 11, 20171 votes

As someone who always plays Naut when I get support, i've actually grown accustom to my hook hitting when it shouldn't and actually get surprised when a hook that shouldn't hit doesn't hit. Unhealthy habit that I need to get rid of.

Rıots Bad ClientJun 11, 20174 votes

Imo, its not really blitz crank.

Lucian Lux MasterYi Diana Run animations have some janky ass run hit boxes

Sona Jinx Vayne ( appears larger than the character Have some strange idle hitboxes

Caitlyn Lucian Vayne has some hit box issues during dashes(Most to the time They're at the toes rather than the head.)

RacoonHunterJun 11, 20174 votes

He's one of the oldest champions in league and it's starting to show with his mechanics. he literally can E you after you have flashed away and silence you as well. he is in serious need of an update to the interactions in his kit..

ZT XperimentorJun 11, 20172 votes

That's with every auto-attack, try flashing after caitlyn shoots you and you'll see her bullet bank in midair to hit you.

InivtesPreezeJun 12, 20171 votes

Two completely different things.

ZT XperimentorJun 12, 20172 votes

No it isn't, it's an auto-attack buff, just play udyr and see what I mean.

EXACTLY

Nameless DrifterJun 11, 20172 votes

It isnt game breaking. Plus blitzcrank rarely gets play and his performance gets worse as the game gets to late game since by then people are a lot stronger and can escape easily. His hooks are not that important by then.

FairyfleurJun 11, 20175 votes

If anything a hook is more important. Hooking a squishy into your team can very well end the game.

Nameless DrifterJun 11, 20171 votes

In a 5vs5 teamfight...the tanks will be infront of the adc or midlaner to block a blitz hook. At least in high elo.

badoogaJun 12, 20171 votes

That didn't work out so well for Bjergsen, did it?

Nameless DrifterJun 12, 20171 votes

As someone that likes TSM...their play is a complete roller coaster, with amateur mistakes in between right now. I dont even know if they will pass the group stage.
