Why is it SO god damn hard for a big company like Riotgames to fix the hitboxes in their own game?

Im so TIRED of being hit by a spell when I visually don't get hit.

Morganas snare. Blitzcranks grab. Threshs hook.

Come on, it has been like this for YEARS now. Will it ever get fixed?

Its hard to fix something that isnt broken.

As someone who plays a lot of morganna, it does go both ways. There are many times where I visuially hit a champion and some how they just walk away. It happens.

Because of a few reasons.

  1. The game is actually 2D. Your hitbox is a circle on the ground. It doesn't match your model perfectly because of that.

  2. Because of said hitbox being a circle, it can't match the shape of the character perfectly. It's a little bigger than the model.

  3. Lag. Even at low ping it's not all synchronized perfectly.

  4. Champions have different sized hitboxes. If you simply make an ability hitbox smaller it might look more reasonable for some champs but now it doesn't look reasonable for others.

If I had to guess, it's because hit boxes are one of those things in a video game that are integral to the base game.

think of it like hitboxes are the foundation of a house. If there is a minor issue with the foundation, is it really worth to tear down the entire house to fix it?
