Can we fix Reinhardt's broken/buggy charge hitbox?

I was valking and hovering above the point when I hear Reinhardt charge and I think oh well I’m flying so am safe :relieved:. Nope, he charges right below me and sucks me in like a vacuum from below. Please bliz fix your game.

His charge hitbox should be like this. In 3D space, the red center box would extend past the green boxes. But if you touch the green ones. The game actively pushes you away. So it can’t use latency as a scapegoat. And no, I want the box at actual size. Genji/Hanzo etc. should have the advantage of jumping.

Yeah i got sucked into one Rein charge as Lucio and I was a full hero length above him. It was whack.

I’ve always told my friends that Rein’s charge is programmed to grab supports and not the giant pig standing right in front of the team, who somehow was able to be knocked back but not pulled in. :thinking:

I agree, I got pinned as mercy and I was not even in range like his hotbox hit like it literally just clipped the edge of my wing on kill cam and I just died like wth

I despise both earthshatter and charge because of the bugs.

My favorite:

One time I was standing on top of the payload. Enemy Rein charges at the payload.

As he hits the payload, the game teleports me down so he a can pin me against the payload.

How? I wasn’t even anywhere near the edge.

It shouldn’t have one shot as long as it is this buggy.
Possibly reduce it’s damage, then make it resource meter/cancellable to keep him strong.

Please, I been sucked in as Hanzo a good feet or two away yet with Torb I was just bounced above him and he had noone pinned.

Same goes for if I charge into people, most times for me I just go through them or they bounce to the side.

Kinda agree, but we should be happy that his day1 charge got reworked. now it is less annoying than the OG charge that had actually AoE splash. He hits a wall or smth in front of you and you just got wrecked by what the hell that was

I remember hearing that (maybe from an old Blame the Controller video) that charge may be practically impossible to fix.

Something about the engine not being all that great, or just kinda finicky to work with.

can we fix doomfist’s broken buggy rocket punch hitbox ?
he is using his whole body hitbox instead his gauntlet for rocket punch Hitbox and his whole body is big like a tank character

kinda true. Same goes for Doomfist with his wallhits, blizzard said that also in a interview long ago. Both heroes still buggy as heck

The hitboxes in this game are so jank

I never thought there would be a competitor to TF2’s horrible melee hitboxes.

Hook, Charge, Grapple and shatter are all kinda broken. Charge can literally boop someone away even if you charge directly at them or acts like a graviton surge, its completely random.

My favorite is getting pinned against a car… from the other side of the car.

THIS. SO MUCH THIS. THIS X 1000.

As a Reinhardt main, the charge is so messed up that it feels like I roll the dice every time I hit LSHIFT. I’ve charged directly through as many people as I’ve sucked in from half a mile away. I’ve killed people when they were on the other side of the wall from me. I’ve counter-charged a Rein only to be left standing and completely un-phased while he is stunned on the floor.

But no, please keep adding more CC characters to the game than fix the hero that has been broken for 4 years.

Seems like the issue with charge is way more complicated than anyone thinks considering that they’ve been patching it from day 1 but have still yet not succeeded to get rid off all the buggy interactions

If you think that he’s broken then you should see Sigma accretion animation right now because the rock gets shot off before his animation finishes which has made a lot of high tier Sigma players miss a considerable amount of them
