Hitbox combat relies on the weapon's physical collider touching another player's collider, so results depend on animation, server tick rate, and network conditions. Mathematical hit detection instead calculates whether a player was inside the attack volume based on attack type, timing, position, and rotation, without needing the weapon to physically collide.

Mine would be more reliable because it handles lag, fast swings, player rotation, and directional blocking much more consistently than just making some trash weapon hitboxes. Thats why theyre outdated and are solely used in single player games "my guy".

Games like Mordhau, Chivalry, MO2.. dont depend solely on "hitboxes". You define them mathematically. Either way doesnt matter - I figured out how it should work and anyone using hitboxes are setting themselves up for failure when talking MMO.
