Insanely broken Pathfinder hitbox after the iron crown event update

I play on ps4, and always found Pathfinders somewhat annoying to deal with because of their uneven hitboxes. Now, after the iron crown update, the problem has reached a new level of intensity. Now I have trouble thirsting a Pathfinder that has been DOWNED and stays still. I needn't even bother to discuss the frustration that develops when engaging in mid to long-range fights with him. To add to the misery, now even his footsteps aren't audible until he gets really close. For god's sake FIX THIS CRAPšŸ¤ŖšŸ¤ŖšŸ¤Ŗ

    @Atomic1110 

    Would you be able to submit a clip here so we can visually see what's happening? The team made these changes to Pathfinder in the latest update which should make it easier to hit him.

     

    General

    • Made adjustments to Pathfinderā€™s and Low-Profile Legends hitboxes.

      • Taking shots to the hip now does torso damage instead of leg damage. This should more closely match the behavior of the other Legends.

    I dunno about paths hit box tbh never noticed anything wrong though I just aim center, do that against every legend. Works out fine for me. Not saying people donā€™t have issues with it just Iā€™ve never noticed an issue hitting him myself is all šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø.

    @EA_Blueberry looking back, that feedback message was a little hot headed, I should've phrased it more politely, I know videogame developers work like hell to deliver and I want you to know it is appreciated, keep up the good work

    I feel like Iā€™ve had this issue too I play on console (Xbox One) and I have definitely noticed the occasional bullets beam through a pathfinder. I thought he was fine with the new season 2 update and fix but something has definitely changed with this iron crown update, seeing a skull pierced wingman shot pass through his legs or arms when he goes to ADS can be super frustrating, not sure what they did but hope the didnā€™t intend to make pathfinder ā€˜THE ONEā€™ again with bullet doge ability

    @EA_Blueberry Also have a clip where a pathfinder takes refuge in a corner, I can clearly see his hands and fingers holding his weapon and they donā€™t register at all

    For me Pathfinder certainly seems like the legend who most frequently slips between tripletake shots. In that respect he seems harder to hit than even Wraith.

    I wonder if all the hit box analysis has glossed over the possibility that hit box *width* is far more important than *height*.

    It'd certainly make sense as the majority of all dodge ability revolves around horizontal movement.

    @adidasPowahcertainly, but if it was any other character I would've most definitely landed more shots, after all,this wasn't my first time hip firing with an energy weapons and in this clip I could just tell something wasn't right
