I think this sort of explains why blizzard said pixel perfect hitbox is “unusable.” A defensive ability that can’t reliably do its job is indeed not usable.
Maybe they need to increase the hitbox just a little more to avoid things like this.

Because OP can’t use the </> button to make links without effort, here you go.
Lol yeah I thought it was funny they said this, then made it smaller than the animation. Honestly I’m fine with the hitbox being a little bigger than the animation, just for the sake of consistency and latency and all, but the issue was just that it was really quite gargantuan compared to the animation and even “don’t shoot at him” was more like “don’t even shoot in his general direction.” I’m glad they fixed it, but obviously they’ve created a new problem

how do u post video on forum lol
hmm
The hitbox should be as big as Zarya’s bubble is around Genji. I don’t know much about coding, but considering that coding is already in the game I don’t get why it’s not already so.

Otherwise, you gotta be trust level 3.

it doesn’t even match the hitbox for it now when it does work
Right lol its horizontal size right now seems fine (I’ve seen some stuff showing it’s smaller and some stuff showing it’s bigger, I think it just depends on the angle you’re looking at), but clearly it’s having some issues around the head for whichever reason.

I honestly think that the hit box would have been fine if the FX actually shows it correctly. and you are not guessing where the damn thing is.

Yes we get it, His deflect is bugged on the PTR and will be fixed before it goes live.
Can we stop going on about this now?
Yeah, my general stance for hitboxes is that they should be maybe 5-10% bigger than the animation just to account for stuff like latency, and no more. If you make them smaller than the animation, it’s frustrating for the user because it feels inconsistent, and if you make it too big, it’s frustrating for the receiver because it feels inconsistent. Somewhere in between is a happy medium where both parties should feel the ability is fair, or at least where the ability ticks off both parties equally

The patch notes only mentioned a reduction in hitbox, not that it was deliberately intended for him to still receive headshots while deflecting.
Considering that’s quite a big deal I would have thought they’d mention it if it was intentional.
the patchnotes was:
while still FULLY PROTECTING him from projectile that would hit him from the front
yeah… what a joke…
