Is the Gizmo THAT bad?
^^, The turning effect is pretty slow, but makes up for its hitbox.

EDIT: The Gizmo is great again.

Hit boxes are all a rectangle. None are really different enough to make a difference, just a placebo effect. As for turn radius, it's different but it's not not bad. I have a few hundred wins with it. I started using it mockingly thinking it sucks too and ended up liking it and doing good with it.

The worst car, supposedly according to psyonix, is hot rod

Here's the best cars in terms of hit boxes.

Length - Breakout
Width - Gizmo
Height - Gizmo
Surface Area - Gizmo

Explains alot to me, I really feel that I play better with the Gizmo than any other car.

In terms of turning. Almost all the cars are close to be identical now. The Post 1.11 patch changed a lot of the cars Handbrakes/Turning Radius to be as close to the same as possible.
It's one of the best cars. It's just ugly AF.

Wait, they changed the turning radius for cars? I can't find that in the patch notes. All it says is "Fixed Handbrake performance for Backfire, DeLorean Time Machine, Gizmo, Grog, Hotshot, Merc, Takumi, Venom, X-Devil".

Here's the turning radius for the cars before and after.

which kinda broke the idea of having different cars in a team, i used to play paladin a lot when the steering was different, my brother would use another model with more agility. the slow turn helped me control the ball properly, nowadays i ram everything with the merc since i move the same way as the octane.

I love dominus, simply because its hitbox is almost similar to its visual aspect.

So they actually increased the turnradius of the lesser used cars to make them even less used... ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ LOGIC RIGHT THERE!

What are you going on about? Every car is close to the same turning radius.. and the worst ones are now higher. The only car that got shafted the most was Hotshot, which was insanely above all the others.

I would rather all the cars be exactly the same. But that's not actually possible without a ton of work. Be nice to use any car I want and not feel like I am not able to turn or handbrake.(Pre-1.11)
