I understand that latency is a thing and can affect hits. But that's not the main argument I'm making. What I'm saying is, if I throw a hatchet-sized object, whether or not it connects should make sense to both parties. Even if you discount the unpredictability of internet performance, the hitboxes are still poorly done.
- You're throwing a hatchet at a survivor. The survivor (and the killer) have mentally established the area this object is capable of affecting based on its size/spin during a throw.
- What's happening right now, minus lag, is you're throwing hatchets with circles attached that are (most of the time) hitting other circles around the model, not the model itself. That is the issue.
You're sending conflicting messages to both players and training bad habits in the killer, which could only ever truly come to light with proper hitboxes. Survivors are seeing a "hit" when the hatchet did, in fact, completely miss - your inaccurate hitbox is at fault here, not the survivor. The huntress player, as an example, is therefore trained to hit "an area", not a survivor. That is the most effective way to play the killer. All of those trick shots become far less impressive when you realize most of them don't even make contact with a survivors model, but instead an invisible body barrier surrounding them.
- TLDR: Hatchets should only hit when making contact with the character model, not their poorly drawn hitboxes. Hitting the air around a survivor to score a hit shouldn't be a thing, especially not in 2020. And no, "it's just the internet" doesn't count for why most hits appear as complete horse crap 50% of the time. There is indeed a hitbox issue at play here that none of the developers seem to want to acknowledge. Can bad hits happen due to latency? Yes. Is this the only cause of non-nonsensical hits? No. Far from it.
You can't win by using sound logic and good reasoning with these devs, they pick and choose what they want to acknowledge. Doesn't seem like any of them can take criticism about their 5+ year old outdated hitboxes
