Why is hitting pathfinder a headache?

Had a couple of games and shot 3 longbow bullets on one none touched even if my aim was perfect he was right in front of me.

100% sure it was on point but still that hitbox man fix it please.

Certain characters have visible components that are NOT part of their hitbox, Pathfinder more than anyone when accounting for his fleshy legendary skins.

Gibraltar has that thing on his back, you can hit that, but won't deal damage since it's not his body, Bloodhound helmet has parts you can hit, but wont deal damage since you didn't hit Bloodhound's head.

Etc.

Stop blaming his hitbox, it's an actual proven FACT that his hitbox is very accurate.

''Certain characters have visible components that are NOT part of their hitbox, Pathfinder more than anyone when accounting for his fleshy legendary skins.''

There you go, one of the problems.

When you shoot a pathfinder you feel like you hit him but you din't becouse of visible components bla bla bla bla bla.

''Stop blaming his hitbox, it's an actual proven FACT that his hitbox is very accurate.''

A verry accurate hitbox is a hitbox that when you shoot the target you HIT him.

If there are 2387465237864523874 components on the legend that don't count as a hit then its a proven FACT the hitbox is terrible right?

If removing those components is a indirect solution to the hitbox problem thats fine by me.

The definition of a verry accurate hitbox should include all components.

So bullets not hitting pathfinder when you feel like they should could verry well be becouse of those components you keep talking about.

But by no meens is it OK now.

I think even when you make Pathfinders hitbox accurate when components are removed.

You still have a way to hard hitbox to hit considering his INSANE best ingame skills.

Every other legend has either a small hitbox OR good skills.

At the moment pahtfinder is the king in both.

And some legends have neither ( They should receive a buff BUT they are not ruining the game atm. )

And saying people should play pathfinder to find out hes not harder to hit does not work.

If you play a legend you can't see if a bullet shot should have hit you or not.

I don't know if the person shooting me is a potato or if its hitbox problems.

Was this part of your research to prove FACTS?

This goes the other way as well.

People playing pathfinder to state they get hit a lot less is the dumbest way to claim a hitbox is good or not.

You can only see if a hitbox is broken by shooting it yourself.

So yes, Lets start by removing all the components on the pathfinder.

A good hitbox has WAY more value to over cool skins.

And after that lets see again.

This is a wrong way of thinking. In that same logic, shooting Bangalore's puffy hair should count as headshots right?
Ofc not, that would be dumb, since it's hair, and not her head.
Stop aiming for Pathfinders skinny limbs (which have the grappling hook gadgets fitted on them) and just aim for his huge torso for a change.
How hard is to aim at his body? You must be really bad if you can't that, his torso is huge and easy to hit.

  According to reddit Pathfinder is going to be fixed for season 2
  Pathfinder's hitbox
  We’ve been investigating Pathfinder’s hitbox and looking at player feedback. At Season 2 launch we’ll be making adjustments to the hitbox that we’ll talk more about closer to Season 2.
  https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/c0q1fi/updating_known_issues_post_6142019/
  His hit box is non existent and very inconsistent. Also people like to bring in the "pro's" to make their point relevant and I've seen and heard a lot of the top streamer's, and pro's say Pathfinder has Broken hit boxes.

    @RevenanT-G7 You really believe hes gonna be “ Fixed” Lol this is a devs team that makes the game worse each update they’ll probably make another legends hitbox broken during the process of fixing pathfinders, Respawn entertainment does not have game testers so good luck getting your hopes up..

  If we are going to make this game realistic then we are even further away from how it should be.
  Bangelore is a human so we know shooting hair does not damage her.
  What are all those cosmetics on pathfinder?
  Battery packs? Zipline holders?
  I don't know how that robot is build.
  But it sounds like shooting it should make it impossible for pathfinder to make ziplines or if its a battery sounds like it should deal headshot damage to me.
  Or to make things more easy. Just damage him at least.
  Having a TON of cosmetics sounds like a unfair advantige to me this way.
  Why do bullets hit in the shoulders deal the same damage as in the heart or troth on human legends if we want this game to be realistic.
  They obviously want to keep things simple so they should do the same with pathfinder.
  people feel like their shots hit him but they din't. That brings complications.
  yes ofcourse shooting a pathfinder in the front is easy.
  But sadly 1/2 times its not a face to face shootout.
  When flanking him from the side his cosmatics are bigger then the body you have to hit.
  I'm not saying the pathfinders are killing me either.
  Becouse this game is more complicated then 2 people shooting eachother.
  Most of the time im wasting A LOT of time trying to hit the damn thing.
  And if he would have been any other legend at that moment i would have spend my 2nd or 3rd magazine shooting other people.
  And being able to down a target 5 seconds earlier and being able to shoot someone else makes all the difference.
  Also if he would have been any other legend i would have downed him before he could have downed my teammate a lot of the cases.
