Actually, different hit box size is proven not working for Apex.
Why Bloodhound's head has to be bigger than everyone else, why Pathfinder hitbox is so different than other legends and give him advantage, why Gib, Caustic hitbox need to be 1.5 time the size of average legend, and why Wraith, Lifeline are top tier picks just because their hitbox are so good? Diff hitbox size gives so much unnecessary trouble without any real benefit.

I'd say the best way is same hitbox for everyone.

In a game like Fortnite this works because the character models are all the same but for Apex this would be problematic.

Suddenly Gibraltar would swing all the way from one side to the other as bullets would be flying through him. He's a big boy and really should be soaking up damage for your team not avoiding it, there just needs to be an appropriate balance so that he can do that effectively.

Wrath on the other hand would be having a similar problem to Pathfinders original hit-box, except way worse.

There will be a way for this imbalance in size to be addressed and i'm sure Respawn are working on something to solve it, we just have to hope it's enough!
