WTH happened to Ranged Targeting?

I really hope this is a bug, and not ANOTHER buff to kiting stam macro trolls... (which is about the entire PvP player base anymore on PS Console).

At first I thought it was lag, and then I played a melee build and realized this change is only effecting RANGE TARGETING ATTACKS. Other Sorcs and Bow guys were saying their "skills weren't firing"... but after playing a Sorc I realized the targeting window is now so narrow it's like my player can't even turn his head.
-- It's near impossible for a range fighter to even get 3 skills off in a row before the max speed, permanently immune to CC's stam build moves a tiny bit and even thought they still appear to be in front of you, it has to be perfect now......... even if I "lock on a target it breaks at this point".. this is ridiculious

I've included a screen shot. That is the point at which skills lose targeting an no longer fire... YOU ARE KIDDING RIGHT? TELL ME THIS IS A BUG ON CONSOLE? and not another buff to all the stam build kiting youtubers that seem to get a buff every single patch.

For what it's worth on PC targeting seems off as well. Don't know how many times I've hit some critters instead of the big baddy in my reticle.

I have the same issues with my stamplar PvP toon fighting melee with dual wield and greatsword.

Skills are often greyed out, I just click-click-click-click-click-click until something finally goes off, then go on to the next skill.

Range is screwed. Has been for some time. Each update they say its fixed and each update its still screwed. As an archer I used to be able to hit a certain dremora from AD's arena spawn point. After Elsewyr it is out of range. Now things even closer are out of range... This is with my original main and the same, if not better, equipment.

The reticle needs to be in the dead center of a target or skills refuse to fire. The reticle can be on the TORSO of the mob and the skills still won't fire. It seems to be worse lately than it ever was before. I feel extremely handicapped.

I have noticed something similar with WBs like the Unmaker. You have to hit his torso also or it won’t fire. This is really tough for bosses who do stuff like float off the ground and you’re a stamina melee toon.

yeah there are certain large enemies where it is difficult to target from certain angles

my guess is the hitboxes are all screwy for larger enemies
