    @WingmannedbroThe only one I’ve seen do it is pathfinder but it’s very very minimal. It’s so minimal that you would not notice it and it’s not why you’re missing shots.

    You basically have to stand there and shoot around the edge of path. And his little grapple things above his shoulder do not register shots. In experienced players will miss headshots because of that. 

  • @DarthValtrex  I think the fact that pathfinder has a bean head doesn't help either...you can literally miss his head by a hairs width and it looks like you've connected at your end but you haven't.

    Request devs: inflate pathfinders noggin please. XD

    @MandatoryIDtaghaha, how about Mirage, I feel like his heads hit box should be as big as his ego.... But it is satisfying to hit path in the noggin with a Kraber. Love it when they are lining up their shots with their sniper and you one tap them.

    No Pathfinder's skins never affected his hitbox. His legendary skins add a lot of padding to his appearance, and back in pre season and season 1 there was a lot of fuss about his hitbox being "smaller" than his model. But that perception was a consequence of the fact that the hitbox remains the same despite the larger and thicker appearance of some of the skins. Particularly the Angel City Pacer model was the subject of the controversy.
