How can we talk about balance when our abilities tend to don't hit when they are supposed to or do hit when enemy is out of our range according to the skill indicator. I really do think Riot should focus on hitboxes for 1 or 2 patches and fix them once and for all.
Dysnomia2 votesHitbox can't be balanced the way you expect. You probably understand that but it is roughly an invisible cube around models. They can't be detailed in to follow model rig. I made visual for you :

Some parts of the model are just not recognizable as a target area (parts out of the box). On the other hand, there is a lot more "Target area" around the model than definitions of a model itself (everything contained in the box).
So a projectile may visually miss you, but it didn't because it was your hitbox and not your model telling if there is anything to interact with.
ThePikol1 votesI know what hitboxes are. I rather ment projectiles hitboxes. Sometimes they visually hit but actally didn't and sometimes they shouldn't but did. The most common are hooks of course. There is known Nida spear issue with Yas windwall, when the spear is right on Yas model already but then we windwall and the spear disappear.There are also projectiles that go further than they idicator shows and some ends much shorter. Out of my mind I can tell about Karma's Q and her indicator. They do not match
ImmortalRaw1 votes"hitboxes can't be balanced"
Please elaborate as to why its ok for a hitbox to not matchup with the actual representative model because to be completely honest with you, think you're wrong.
Riot has actually came out and stated they prefer if the hitboxes are more lenient towards the caster hitting the enemy (stuff like elevation and ashe arrow changing wheres it actually on the map for example are completely changeable aspects of the game but they prefer it that way)
Dysnomia1 votesThey can't tune them to fit champion models due to technical issues. What they prefer and what they actually could do are two different things.
