Hitboxes
Alright for far too long the hitboxes in Dead By Daylight have been let's say weird. But, this!!!!
(This link shows just how broken hitboxes are. Plz fix this. It's getting annoying.)

Welcome to a combination of incorrect hitbox positions, hotboxes that are a little too big and Desync...
Survivor hitbox is at all times in the middle of your screen, where the survivor is standing when standing still.
Notice how a survivor's model moves away from the middle of your screen, in the direction the survivor is walking. The hitbox doesn't move with the model. It will stay in the middle of your screen.
At the same time the hitbox is FAR bigger than the survivor models.
And the game as a whole, together with ping, suffers from a little Desync.
All of these together will result in those kind of hits...
