Can killers with small weapons have their weapon size increased?
This is just for clarity sake on the survivor side. I’m not asking to make the clown or the legion carry swords lol, just a small increase in size to better reflect their hitbox, because nothing feels worse than getting from what seems to be far enough to where it shouldn’t connect.

If the upcoming server sided hits still dont improve the feel of being attacked, then I dont see why not. That's why I like the size of Pyramid Heads weapon, it's able to more accurately portray the (considerably larger than expected) hitbox

is this a size thing?
I though it wasn't about the size of the boat but the motion of the ocean?

No, didn't that university lady prove that he did the math wrong?

It's not the size that matters, it's how you use it.
Being real for a second, though, increasing the size slightly wouldn't really help too much. You can only make a knife so much bigger before it starts to look silly, and it would still likely be much smaller than the hitbox. Making some weapons larger is also a lot trickier to do on licensed killers, like Freddy and Ghost Face. I can only imagine that it wouldn't be easy to get Hulk Hands approved for Freddy.
What we've done in the past is change their attack animations to better reflect it. The killers with small weapons would lean forward further as they attack, unlike killers with larger weapons (like The Trapper) who just swing their weapon. If they still aren't lining up very well, I think it would be great to revisit them again and make more changes.

Pig with the drill weapon would be like:

Yeah in all seriousness, I like the realistic look of the weapons. It adds to the gritty nature of the game, there is something really unnervingly sinister about clown with the razor. The legion's hunting knife again just downright sinister. The trapper with the machete.
Oversized anime style weapons often look silly, sorry PH but I'm not a fan of the jumbo sword. I like the fact that the devs looked into making animations consistant with the type of weapon used. I'll have to look more closely next time I'm playing.

2 things I would add to help with this sort of thing.
1: An afterimage created based on where the Survivor was on the Server end when the Survivor was hit, visible to the Survivor. That way when they are hit after vaulting a window they see that the Killer had actually hit them mid vault
2: A disjointed white slash animation that represents the actual edge of the hitbox, regardless of the size of the weapon.

now think of pig stealthing on an indoor map like Hawkins. You'd be stabbed before you could even see miss.piggy
