Replay Time: ~24:09 - 24:14
Hero: Vindicta
While in a teamfight inside the Amber base, the enemy Haze ducked into one of the side-tunnels to return to their fountain / spawn area, as they crossed the final tunnel I could suddenly see their outline / the low-health indicator through the tunnel wall (and then shot them once they entered their fountain-proper).

I don't think Vind is meant to be able to line up shots on people who're out of LoS, so this seems like a bug?

The replay is weird about it too, I can see Haze's outline from my perspective when I load the replay up, but if I rewind the replay to watch it again a second time the outline disappears. (And it isn't visible from any of my teammates' perspectives)

There was a backstabber on our team at the time, but at least according to the replay it was definitely not active on Haze when she was in the tunnel, and as mentioned in the replay none of my teammates' perspectives can see the outline at all.


My best guess is map geometry, Haze wasn't visible until she entered the final tunnel segment before the spawn area, but that's only really my best guess, didn't see (or at least remember seeing) it happen any other time that match.
 
I did some more testing on this after remembering that the explore NYC mode exists - this seems to be reliably replicable on Amber's side, and in fact you can straight up shoot people through those tunnels with Vindicta's ult, though you don't seem to be able to hit people with bird? - it probably is a problem with the map geometry in that area. (Though I can't say for sure)

Sapphire's side hallways don't seem to have the problem by my testing, so it's probably an amber-base specific issue.

This also tracks with the concurrent seven bug report here ( https://forums.playdeadlock.com/threads/sevens-abilities-hit-through-spawn-tunnel-walls.90141/ ). Which reports a similar issue with things hitting through Amber's side tunnels also occurs.
