T1 Wolf wasn’t happy about this unfair hitbox appeared at major tournaments such as Worlds 2021
Till this moment, we cannot agree more about the semi-final match between T1 and DWG KIA is the most professional match and the most thrilling match has yet to appear at Worlds.
Despite the fact that it finished last week, analysts still have been examing and evaluating. The previous world champion, T1 – Wolf, streamed a commentary of this match yesterday. However, he found throughout the stream that the hitbox interaction was exceedingly unfair to T1.
The incident Wolf stated occurred in the 18th minute of the match during the Dragon spot. T1 must choose between defending the first turret of the mid lane and resolving the Dragon issue at this moment.
While Canna was standing near the Blue Buff, the absurdity happened. It followed when Ghost used the Deadly Flourish to target Canna’s right side and he dodged to the left. However, the ability flew to the left and caused Canna to be rooted unexpectedly. As a result, Canna was knocked out shortly after, causing T1 to abandon the Dragon.
It’s worth noting that the above-mentioning Jhin’ Deadly Flourish skill’s hitbox was out of range and leads the opponent to attack easily.
Wolf absolutely discouraged with the skill’s hitbox deviated from the real one, allowing Canna to be rooted far too easily and potentially lead to the influence of the entire match. Suppose Canna wasn’t hit by Ghost, T1 could actually acquire the dragon, balance the game, and even win the game.
The hitbox problem has lasted for a long time, and players have expressed their dissatisfaction with it on several occasions. Riot made no note of it and had no plans to work on it.
This is a vital call for Riot Games in order for them to improve their game in the future. As for the spectators, we can only hope that the hitbox interaction does not occur during the season’s most significant match, the Worlds 2021 Final, especially with Jhin, as he is currently a strong pick at Worlds.
