People should not be losing games due to Bugs and riot hitboxes

Played a recent game and we legit lost due to some wack hitboxes. We lost partly due to a huge bug/ bad indicator. Its unfair to the people playing the game, a close game... even in gold/score. Clearly I'm not in the hit box. Fizz is an old champ been around forever and obviously this is a problem. Ive notice this happen a lot with fizz, range on the ult that hit that shouldn't. If riot cannot get a simple indicator right how do they expect us to continue to play and enjoy the game. This put a huge sour note on a otherwise good game.

In addition to perspective, another issue is Malzahar visually floats. In this instance, the floating helps visually take him farther from the ult but his hitbox is always where Malzahar would visually appear if he didn't float.

Though I do wish hitboxes and models/indicators more accurately represented each other

Hurtboxes are circles which rest at our champion's feet, like this:

Similarly, AoE's are usually circular and have hitboxes as such.

What's actually happening here is this:

Even though it looks like Malzahar is out of the circle, his hurtbox itself is still just barely in the Fizz ult. It's a perspective thing, blame the camera angle, not the hurt/hitboxes.
