Why has Gragas's Body Slam hit box not been fixed yet?

He doesn't even need to touch you for it to land. It still hits you if you're anywhere near him at the end of the path, without actually colliding with anything.

Because it's his gravitational pull. If you get too close you will get pulled into him.

Gragas is Runeterra's core. The land is folded around him.

Nah - Gragas is so fat, when Sion ults him, he bounces off Gragas' stomach and keeps running the other direction.

So Gragas is as fat as Ornn then? If so, we can have a 5v5 One For All game of pinball using Ornn's Ultimate.

Why am I imagining two Ornn's facing each other with ulting Sion bouncing back and forth between them screaming "COWWAAAARRDDDSSS!"

Sejuani wants this hitbox

wants this hitbox

I was going to say that, Sejuani's Q barely even stuns and has a tiny hitbox.

Gragas is lucky.

Don't forget Shen, his taunt still misses 90% of the time, nevermind Gragas' e completely nullifying it if both collide.

ModCaptainMårvelousAug 18, 20178 votes

Shen's hitbox is a square. Pinpoint percision and skill is required. Sejuani's hitbox is a rectangle. It's forgiving but you have to aim it still and you can easily be sidestepped. Gragas's hitbox is a weird eldritch shape that extends into several different planes of existance to hit you.

Amazing isn't it?

I still think its a BS hitbox, but i'm pretty sure riots reasoning is his stomach sticks out. The dash indicator isn't wrong in that he moves from the start to finish, it just doesn't properly display the range of being able to actually hit anyone.

FatedSaviourAug 17, 20176 votes

the hit itself has a hitbox, then there is dash distance, this is also noticeable on vi if you play her a fair bit, give it a try yourself and learn

NiceTryViAug 17, 20172 votes

Yeah but the amount of difference in the graphic representation and the actual hitbox on Vi and Gragas are very different. I notice its only a small amount larger than the graphic on Vi, while whenever i play gragas I hit people that are not only not touching me, but are a clear hundred units away. It isn't really a fair comparison, he needs the hitbox shrunk to match the graphic better.

Yeaaaaah but I've got to give it to the OP. Gragas and Vi's hitboxes do NOT feel the same. Vi usually at least touches your model- I've seen Gragas not and still cc you. Granted, I've only rarely faced him but once I was against a Grag support and I definitely noticed I was NOT being hit by him but still getting cc'd after the 3rd Flash Flying Fat-Man Hump.

Poppy's Steadfast Presence doesn't even block Body Slam properly.

Unlike every other dash where as soon as the dash starts, SFP will cancel it, Gragas gets to do his entire animation; move, deal damage to you and stun you before SFP will pop him up for a brief second.

And to think that's after a significant nerf last season. Why hasn't Thresh or Blitz pull been fixed?

It is pretty irritating even when playing him too.

You'll go for a bodyslam, or god forbid a bodyslam-flash, but you will clip a minion that is nowhere near you.

Personally I think they should slim down the hitbox while he is in flight, but sort of make it that once it hits it has an impact radius larger than the initial hitbox (retaining the current width).

Because he's that fat. The shockwave generatedfrom the massive force of his bodies inertia knocks you up.
