Sinclair Vexing Bolt Gives You Wallhacks Now

[styllarr]

The Vexing Bolt redirect icon will show on heroes even if you have no line of sight on them.

Obviously this is not intended and needs to be fixed as soon as possible.

This is good actually and should be kept in the game.

This has infinite range by the way, you can see any hero anywhere on the map

this is fine other than having infinite range. Though, I find it would be difficult to consistently get good info since you can't really tell how far away the enemy is and it's hard to track their movements so far away. Practically speaking, I think at best you could use it to scout for zipliners coming to defend a walker.

I disagree - it should not show you where to redirect to if you have no line of sight at all, range aside.

It removes a lot of skill from the hero and is way too strong. Part of this hero's skill ceiling is being able to predict where people are hiding behind cover and this removes that aspect.

It doesn't seem intentional either which is why I think it's a bug and made this post.

Buddy, ignore the wallhack for a second and go *try* to miss with the new targeting system. I was aiming at the floor and it still redirected correctly.

The Vexing Bolt redirect system did not get updated in the way you think it did.

It always had vertical aimbot given certain conditions (see this video). All they did was make it so that it doesn't redirect onto creeps or obj now which is a very good change.

Nothing else about it changed.

As of the patch just now, they removed the redirect icon entirely.

I'm guessing they're going to fix it and then re-add it.

They fixed it already by the way.
