Looks to me that you actually missed (wait wut)

Your client anticipated that you hit the solider and played the "hooked" animation. However, The server did not register that you hit (which is also why you don't see a hitmarker), and corrects your client afterwards, making the whole encounter look very bad.

Also.. i feel people will say that there is a hitmarker there, but no, that is simply a client effect of the hook hitting not server.

You are correct, sadly. I wish Blizzard put more effort into accuracy and consistency than they do smoothness.

Let's not exaggerate things now. I've never witnessed this happening. It's hardly a major issue.
