Female hitboxes ruin the game

Why do they get an advantage over the others? There's only upsides to this, this is an fps where aiming heavily matters. Even Wraith with her horrible tactical and ult can kill a whole squad because ...

honestly characters with bigger hitboxes need more HP to make up for it, lifeline is so much harder to hit than caustic for example

The only thing I can really think of to fix this is to either one, do as @Swarth2300 suggests, and give them slightly more HP, or we just set everyone's hit boxes to be exactly the same. Issue I find with either is balance problems. Since if we make the hit boxes bigger, a small legend is gonna be able to be hit past her disappearing from sight, or the bigger guys are gonna be able to stand with exposed parts and not be hit.

Adding extra HP might be alright to some degree, but it has to be a small increase, like 25 hp at most. The other option I could see would be to give them passive armor reducing incoming damage slightly by a few points or a %.

  Having the same hit boxes on different size models would be awkward as all get out. There would be bullets going through the characters and not registering or bullets registering hits on blank spaces around smaller characters.
  I would be down for the big ones having slightly more hp or something. Maybe more inventory space, or faster reloading, or using consumables faster (just take it from lifeline, she doesnt need 3 passives).
  Anyways, my point is, I agree that as it is right now, having a smaller model, therefore hitbox, is a significant advantage.

    Slightly boosting the hitboxes of the small characters beyond visible and slightly reducing the hitboxes of the fatties beyond visible isn't going to break the immersion but really something needs to be done.
    In the rare times I play as a fatty I feel like I just get downed instantly. CQB is a joke with a fatty. The enemy can spray the general area and still hit you.
