Is there any particular reason Nautilus's hook isn't being brought into line?

Is it really necessary for it to have the weird AoE at the end of it? Sometimes it's so bad that he visually misses the hook, but then it suddenly attaches to a champion at a 30 degree angle, often after having gone past them.

Like, what the fuck even is this? How has this remained like this for so long?

All hook hitboxes are bullshit. Lollipopping is the single worst "mechanic" (and I use this term loosely as it's so rubbish) to exist in the game.

Thresh's is even worse, but for differing reasons. Nautilus' hook hits you when you're alone no matter what, meanwhile Thresh's hook legitimately curves in its hitbox, thus meaning it has a larger hitbox against champions than minions, allowing him to hook you "through" creep waves.

tl;dr Hook champions are stupid and lollipopping 100% has to go.

I saw this Thresh hook bullshit last night for the first time ever. I thought I was safe hiding behind the wave as the hook grazed a minion (would have been a guaranteed hit vs any champ), then clearly missed me but I was hooked regardless. Thresh swoops in, and I'm dead a few moments later.

I understand that you like seeing your supports make plays RIOT. Hell, I love playing Thresh because it's so easy to make plays with him. But clean your shit up.

All hook abilities have the same thing. According to Riot it makes "landing a max range hook feel rewarding" or something along those lines.

His weapons is an Anchor of course it has to have a weird hitbox at the end it fits the weapon correctly. It just needs a better indicator that shows thats the hitbox at the end is a T.

Is this really a problem? I kind of doubt it is because it ignores the target hit box.

Are you guys going through the vayne tumble phase again? Do you all not remember the rage threads over a vayne visually tumbling out of the way getting grabbed... Because her hit box moves after the tumble?
