Grenades that kill through walls.

It is terribly annoying and unintuitive when grenades kill through obstacles / walls. He is sure that he hid and you can not see the player in question and he gets damage.

Example on image. Infernus just hide behinde wall and i drop graned like in screen and i deal dmg for him. It's unfair in my opinion.

remember it is an open beta. they have been updating abilities to respect line of sight (pockets ult and breifcase for example), but it takes time. im sure they will get around to this one as i agree its very annoying especially with how large the aoe on giests bomb can get. there could also be multiple causes for this, it could be the ability itself or it could be map geometry

yes it's beta but they should consider this in future patch.
