Gragas Bodyslam Hitbox

Arkael·7/14/2017, 8:10:00 AM·50 votes·2,479 views

Hello League of Legends gameplay forums! So litterally about a hour ago I was playing a game of solo Q and got ganked by a Gragas and as seen in the video I'm sure you'll see a little issue xD. So normally I'm not the kind of person to have something bad happen in a game and just jump onto the forums I'll just try to look past it (maybe tilt a little in the proccess xD) but I'll continue on with my game none the less. This bug/whatever it is litterally completely threw my lane and after I died not only did gnar snowball the lane but got first tower and as many of you toplane mains know that can completely end a match up right then and there.

This isn't the first time I've seen complaining about the infamous "Body Slam Hitbox" but while hitting with like just corner can be infuriating enough I completely outplayed his gank blew my flash and then got punished. Please fix this issue riot for the sake of anyone else who has the chance of this happening again xD.

There's only two ways I can see this happening:

  • Gragas technically hit Riven when she flashed so she still got hit by the CC, it just carried over after she ended the flash
  • Gragas' hitbox managed to somehow still hit Riven

Either way, it's a sign of bad code in some way.

Patch Notes 5.10

Non-fat body slams. "Following up on our Cinderhulk changes, we still think 'ol Graggy's taking up too much space in the jungle, so we're trimming some fat (not literally - that's gross) where we can. This might not be the change that gives jungle competitors some space to breathe, but at least letting his belly hitbox match the visuals is a good first step."

Watching it slowed, Riven flashed while Gragas was still finishing his move. Either it is bug in the code where it collectes the targets before Gragas actually finalizes where the collision is and from where the units are to be taken or it is problem with the animation not being in line with when the spell really ends.

I slowed down the video to see more clearly and it does look like you should have been hit for sure. but in hindsight if you were able to flash the stun should not have gone through

Slowing it down - the body slam animation came before the Riven's dodge animation. So, in other words, the spaghetti code is more to blame here than a case of the hitbox being "too big" as you allege.

You're complaining about Gragas, when the bug is flash activating after CC procs.

This happens with all blink abilities, not just flash.

In a perfect world, you would have been stunned before the flash, because it hit you first.

That's not a Gragas thing, it happens with anything that's already hit you that has a delayed effect when you flash out of it.

It is just the way any form off CC is coded. Like when you stun Tristana when she rocket jumps, but she still jumps and is stunned when she lands. Pretty much the same here. She was hit the moment she flashed, but the CC had technically "hit" but didn't register as far as animation or the actual CC until the flash ended. This is nothing new or mind blowing, and i just how things are coded. It looks dumb when it happens, but be glad it "hit" when you stopped, and didn't stop you.

this looks more like a bug than the hitbox but could be idk

Sorry guys I posted this late and went to bed after I uploaded it xD. I know I could have flashed sooner I was trying to bait out the body slam and flash over it so he couldn't just body slam/cask me out from under my tower but I feel the way it should work is I just get hit by the body slam instead of being able to flash over and still get hit on the tail end of the flash.

Yeah you clearly didn't get hit by that lol. There was a video of a thresh hook hitting lee sin from lane to blue buff. Hitboxes are a bit messed up.

Don't question the fat man. He does what he wants.

No matter what kind of code, circumstance, or whatever bullshit that justifies Riven being hit, it's still unfair and should be fixed. If she got out of it, she shouldn't be hit. Simple. It's the same case with the body slam hitbox. That thing stretches 5 yards from Gragas. It's impossible to miss it unless someone has mobility of their own or the Gragas is a complete potato sack to actually miss the skill.

I don't know. I think that is busted. lol

What happened was the flash particle is carrying some information about Riven's hitbox with her so the effect traveled with her. IT shouldn't have hit her. That other post was trash when it came to Grag hitbox but this is definitely a bug. But right on 0:06 Gragas does make contact.

But I'm up in the air on this one. That is kind of cheese. lol

To be fair. When you press that flash button, you should be gone completely. Isn't that the point of flash? lol
