Is the hitboxes and projectile size really that bad?

[Mark]

Ive seen a lot of news raging about the new updates in Season 9 and how it closes the skill gap. Is it really that bad as they say?

steam forums are prob the worst place you can ask this

A few heroes are overtuned right now due to the changes, but otherwise IT IS giving more consistent hits across the game for pretty much all skill levels. Slim heroes aren't as unreasonable to shoot compared to other heroes for example.

People who relied on AD spam to survive instead of actually good strafes are also being exposed. Good middle ground since they don't want add movement acceleration (game would feel too sluggish) or make hero hitboxes bigger (which means getting hit around corners more often)

bro you do realize they literally DID make hero hitboxes bigger, right? like you're not so dumb you think making bigger hitboxes is somehow not making hotboxes bigger, right?

It's fine, people think this is some kind of tactic shooter, but it is a hero shooter with people with bazookas, ice machines and etc.

They did not. Only projectiles and the radius of hitscan attacks were made bigger. Hero sizes themselves are the same as before.
