Imp hit box

I get that the majority of hit boxes are messed up in this game and that may not be important as a new legendary skin to some. When TT has turned into Imps v Mushrooms, it’s obvious that the small (non existent) hit boxes are being abused. 

is it too much to ask for some consistency in this game? Mechs, Oaks, and Stations oh my... all of them spawn at different times and only SOME take damage during the process, when some (Imp) don’t. Not to mention that destroying a Mech doesn’t kill the imp and as long as they use explosive escape near you, you are dead no matter how far you can get away from it before it explodes. These slight differences that apparently have been overlooked for months are what is pushing people away from the game. 

Balance is the key to online gaming and it appears that is definitely a bias with certain characters in this game. This is why character classes are important and DPS (damage per second) always needs to be evaluated to keep characters in class. 

This game is definitely starting to have a free feeling to it. It almost feels like free player-run servers that you can find online that are filled with mods. Someone needs to get control before this game goes the way of so many others...

    Scientist is worse than Imp in my opinion.

    To test this, use a Sunflower on the Scientist only Battle Chest and try to hit him with Solar Flare.  I’m almost certain Scientist has a skinnier hit box than Imp.

    Wish we could see artwork of the current boxes.

    I haven’t checked that but I most definitely will. I have noticed scientists being impossible to hit but attributed to the fact that they can warp out of any move you hit them with. Solar flare has always been junk. Close range solar flare shoots through most objects without damage. I can have an enemy highlighted and locked in, only to miss. I never use my flare because of this issue.

    @GraveledStoopid  I found out how bad the hit boxes were when I made Solo Battle Chest tutorials for Mount Steep.

    I can hose any character in the game but not Scientisf.  I didn’t realize it at first and thought the same as you - maybe the warp, etc, was causing me to miss.  Nope - hit box is built like a needle.

    @ippig That’s good to know. I refuse to check the trello board. 20 different message boards for a single game is ridiculous. 🤣🤙

    @ippig Because you took the time to post the link, I had to oblige and click it. Thank you. Seems to me that trello is what this should have been. So much more information over there..

    I may have to make a switch and leave here! 🤙

    I too refuse to check twitter/trelo/reddit. Everything should be here first since we are on EA forum.

    @FootSoldier9908 Wouldn't touch Reddit. Trello, I'm either using wrong somehow or it just seems too vague. Twitter I have, but there haven't been that many updates there of late - this being an exception, where the new content has been given from the various PvZ accs & also in tweets from Xbox.
    I find it strange that such major announcements have been made in this way, rather than tied in with a stream & whatnot.
