There is enough of a transition into the hip check and they nerfed the ability for smaller players to hit larger ones so they are in a comparably better state to other issues. LT will never be fixed: they've tried multiple times throughout the years and just can't get it right.
Poke checks themselves are fine but the speed penalty when failing is outrageous. We've needed a complete overhaul to the engine for close to a decade now lol. They've ditched last gen (which should have been given it's own update in it's lifecycle btw), for essentially nothing so far and we're already approaching mid-new gen
