Is octanes hitbox broken?

Why do i get absolutely destroyed when I play him? Does no one miss anymore in this game? Is it the servers? I've never been lasered like this before in this game and i been playing for the last 2 years. I have no idea what is going on. Hard to believe everyone is really good at this game now

@TperodactylWhat is your playstyle as octane? Whenever I full send players theres a 50/50 chance im either going to destroy them or get destroyed myself lol
octane used to have a broken head hitbox... it was the size of bloodhounds but has since been patched

@Tperodactyl its just pretty ez to hit him, + u might not track ur health and use Q too much.

@Tperodactyl The one character I am absolutely unable to play is bloodhound... i don’t know what it is but every single time I get on him I get instantly destroyed but I can run around as octane constantly using stim the whole game and do great

@Tperodactyl ive tested his hotbox he has a reasonably big head that extends a bit further im assuming cuz some skins have a horn for him. His head is also fairly big for his body size so its an easy target to focus, also his running animation opens up for a lot of latency issues and getting shot around corners since he's swinging his arms back and forth like a maniac. I mean he's skinny but not at all hard to hit.

@Tperodactyl TBH most octane's i see run ahead of there team and run with Q in a straight line. Then i'm like ok sure eat my bullets.
He is also super easy to hear running around.

Octaine main here.
Can't say that he is broken. I actually wanted to switch to Horizon in S7 and did in the first half. But I missed his stim.
An now, after this (for me) huge buff of new Jumppad I love playing him even more and won't switch.
And just yesterday I got rewarded for it with my highest damage game (over 3,5K) in Platinum 3.
People kept telling my I can't go solo in Ranked from Platinum on.
Now I try to prove them wrong :D
