Horizon’s hitbox

Horizon’s hitbox is 99,000 pixels.

Lifeline and Wattson have hitboxes that are 110,000 pixels.

Horizon has the best movement out of any character in the game; gaining her tactical every 10-15 seconds. 

Some of the same people who were against Pathfinder having a 15 second tac cool down, are fine with Horizon having the same.

I love that Horizon is viable, but she is in dire need of an adjustment.

We can start with Low Profile.

  • @Axs5626Sxa5001 she definitely needs a looking into. As of right now she's like a much better Pathfinder with her ability and a really great ult to boot. My first game with her on rank and I immediately got 2k damage badge cause of how great her kit is.

    @Daze623 heh just because your skill enough to get 2k dont mean she needs looked into. This means she was new. Players had no idea how to counter her there for giving easier games. I can demolish horizons just as any other legend.

    Once she is better understood and people learn to counter her properly then people will see she is no different in terms of killing then any other legend.

    @E9ine_AC There's really not much to understand about her though, she's not like Pathfinder where you need to learn how to grapple properly or Wraith where you need to know when to dip out with your tactical. Her kit is really great for mobility and escapes + can give your teammates the highground in a pinch, her ult is also devastating when you catch people in it since there's not much legends out there that have the mobility to escape from it.

    She's a strong legend and I'm honestly surprised that she didn't get the low profile treatment considering her high mobility which is also the main reason(if I remember correctly) why Pathfinder has the low profile passive.

    @Daze623 ive played her a bit and the ult is kinda meh. Its suction is no where near strong enough to be useful unless players just are stacked in it. Then comes it easily being 1 mag to destroy it. It easy counter it.

    When she first came out she was not known people had no idea how to counter her. So them escaping what not was more slim then now.

    @E9ine_AC well if you just throw it at people and not push in then it's easy to counter which is not how you're supposed to use her ult anyway(which for some reason is how a lot of Horizon players use her ult). Although I did notice that her ult's suction is kinda weird there are times where it's incredibly strong and other times where I just walk away not sure if it's a bug or something.
  • @Daze623 Pathfinder has low profile because there were lots of complaints regarding his wonky hitbox at the beginning. Nothing to do with his strength.

    • @BaldWraithSimpI have fairly good aim. For console I am ranked top 30 in the world for headshots. That’s DEFINITELY not to boast— it’s just for context.

      Comparatively speaking, I struggle more to hit two characters in the game: Wraith and Horizon.

      I realize that character animation (strafe animation) factors into the mix as well, but is still very clear that Horizon is much more difficult to hit than the majority of other legends. The Gaming Merchant has detailed her hitbox at 99,000 pixels and that honestly sounds right based on how hard she is to hit in comparison to other legends.

      Factor in her tactical ability and we are talk about a character that is a pre-nerfed Pathfinder kind of annoying. And speaking of Pathfinder, there is no reason he should have low profile and Horizon not have low profile. Pathfinder is definitely the absolute easiest character in the game to one clip now that they have engorged his hitbox.

    @BaldWraithSimp That would make sense if it wasn't for the fact that Wattson has low profile too and she has the same hitbox size as Bloodhound who doesn't have low profile.
