Reason for huge difference hitbox size
Hey there, what is the reason for these difference in the size of the hitboxes? We all play Apex and this game is a shooter, ok with Legends and some tactical abilities, but if you aim better than ...

I agree that it feels in principle like bad decision making to have such a wide range of hitbox sizes, and yet...
Once it's a known thing, and it is and has been since day one, then hitbox size becomes just another variable in the game that you have to take into account when engaging the enemy, just as you would take into account an emeny's abilities, weapons, position, etc. Yes, if feels unfair that Wraith gets away with murder (literally) when others have a hitbox the size of a billboard. Why else would she have the pick rate that she does? But in the end, she isn't unkillable, especially if you take the time to realize what you need to do to turn the odds back in your favor. With the smaller legends that mostly means letting them get closer before engaging. That isn't always easy to do, but the complexity of the game is half the fun.

- @reconzero One thing they could do, but can't figure out why they dont, is take the legend with the biggest hitbox, apply that hitbox to all the legends.
Yes, there will be areas where the hitbox is bigger than the visible legend, but so what? Why is that a problem? I honestly don't see how a hitbox bigger than the visible portion of the player would be bad. It would level the playing field perfectly. I see zero downside to this. However, the inverse would be horrible, apply smallest hitbox to all legends.- @SolitaryMassacre I love the inverse 😈 lol

I see you and I raise: just make the smallest legends (Wraith, Lifeline, etc.) physically larger with the appropriately sized hitbox. Fatten 'em up a little. Good for the game, good for young girls to not be exposed to unrealistic body types and whatnot.
