Hit Boxes, Fix it.

I’m just going to get straight to the point.

Hit boxes are actually horrifyingly frustrating whenever playing as a survivor, I know how’s large hit boxes are in this game as it’s a pellet sized hit box around the model and it’s honestly a joke.

getting constantly hit or downed when your a pallet length away and dropping the pallet?

watching a killer swing for you and MISS your player model but manage to hit the hit box which is thin air is one of the most frustrating thing I have ever dealt with and I’m so sick of it.

ive played so many games so where I’ve dropped so many pallets and I Have properly dropped the pallet or vaulted a window and I still get hit and downed, in the animation dropping it or legit to far for a possible solid hit yet here I am having to get injured or down because the hit the hit box and not my player model is disgusting, I’ve grown sick and tired of the same stuff like this happening over and over again.

just make the hitboxes to the actual player model like rainbow six siege or at least scaled down to that size because if you are vaulting a window or a pallet and they aren’t even hitting you but thin air? Like come on this is becoming what seems to be a forever on going joke that’s has such an easy fix yet it’s never done and you can say the hit box shapes are for game balancing but like what is there to balance when a Killer has host advantage and managing to hit even around corners when you aren’t even near them yet it counts and it’s not happening to just me but the squad I play with and it’s becoming a joke at just how much they SHOULD miss you yet hit you anyway.

Fix it for the love of god because adding content doesn’t solve issues crippling your game and user experience.

I love this game to death but I am really burned out From all the stuff that’s makes this game not worth playing in its current state.

    @synx201 I totally agree with you. I have gotten some hits I should not have as killer and have been hit as survivor. I have learned to just accept it, like I have a choice except main killer or quit. I play with a swf so it helps to balance out the small things that can affect the game drastically such as these hit box issues. I barely solo que

    This is an issue with latency and lag compensation, not the hitboxes themselves. This problem is unsolvable past a certain point as there's always going to be a discrepancy between what you and the guy 700 miles away see, and it's only going to be exacerbated by dedicated servers.

    But isn't that what dedicated servers and a good network model in general are for?

    Vaulting over something and even getting a step ahead just to get downed because the killer hits your hit box which was way behind you actual player model is really frustrating.

    I wouldn't even mind waiting longer for matches but seeing me getting matches with or against people from other continents adds up to the problem.
