Does anyone else find plague’s puke hitboxes very inconsistent?

Every time I play her I puke on somebody and they scream but sometimes and very often don’t become sick, same with corrupt purge when they’re cutting a corner, it just whiffs. I find it very annoying because I don’t have this issue with huntress like at all.

    You don't have this issue with huntress because of her hatchet africa sized hitboxes. You can feel it as survivor tho

    It’s more of the survivors hurtbox over the hatchets.

    Yes. I rarely ever get her (and I generally enjoy it when I do, I like the character) but I've found that whenever I'm puked at it seems like 50/50 whether it goes right through me or hits me from a foot or so away like most killer's regular attacks do.

    I find the majority of hitboxes inconsistent in this game on both sides.

    Even as killer I'm tired of playing huntress to hit someone with a hatchet, hear the noise and see blood yet it somehow doesn't damage them lol.

    It's related to ping and desync, not really hit box. I experience this a lot on Plague as well as DS. It's quite infuriating.

    That said, they aren't going to be able to realistically fix this with its actual cause. However they can fix it in a roundabout way.

    Essentially do what they have on Huntresses hatchets where there's two circles of detection. One small one for detecting object collision and one larger one for survivor collision. This way they essentially bandaid fix the issue by increasing the detection radius of the vomit (the larger circles hit box size) without hindering its collision on objects (the smaller circle).

    You're getting some extra collision size to compensate for the bad ping basically. Really wish they'd do this.

    because puke hitvox is much smaller. Look at this hatchet.

    Problem is dedicated servers don't work well with so precise projectiles like plagues puke
