Female characters and hit-boxes.

SagaSoluna

I will never understand why most fps/action games that offer both genders or character customization, the female characters are always blessed by smaller hit-boxes.

Even if the model itself is smaller for aesthetic reasons, there is no motive to make one character have an inherent vantage above the other just because of looks.

This issue gets even worse if the game has gender differences as it tends to make the females be more agile, and anyone can see that a smaller, more agile character is potentially much stronger than the other types.

While this may not matter in the newcomer grounds, it begins to be noticeable in the middle ranks and it ends up being almost mandatory in the higher leagues of most of those games if you want to stay on the top.

And yes, i know, with skill and training and bla bla bla it is possible to beat everyone and whatnot but the point is that no-.one should have advantage just based on the gender they decide to play as.
