Vindicta's Stake Line of Sight check being blocked by uneven ground.

[gunmore2]

While not necessarily a bug, this feels very unintended.

Vindicta's Stake uses a (I presume) line of sight check to decide if it tethers someone or not. This can cause it to miss despite enemies being in the AoE marker of it. It is at its worst on stairs, where the difference of a few inches can completely change the outcome. This is compounded with the fact stake is often throw from a distance, possibly from the air, where it might be hard to tell where exactly to throw the stake to avoid it missing.

Came by to thumbs up this, as it's incredibly frustrating sometimes. I've had it not proc from the air because the player was on the road and the stake landed on the curb.

are vindicta mains seriously not interacting with this post? there's no shot that a curb, a physical object shorter than the stake, should block LOS for stake to proc.
