Destro Ult going through walls/floors working as intended?

I searched the forums and could not find an answer to this so if there is an answer somewhere, I would appreciate a link.

I understand it ignoring LOS like trees and rocks but it seems seriously broken that this ability goes through walls and floors. This is not a nerf destro ult thread, this seems like a legitimate broken/not working as intended bug.

That's just the functionality of ground placed AoEs, whether they follow the player or not. These effects actually create a sphere of their influence, which is projected onto the ground as a red circle. Negate is the most obvious example of this, and caltrops probably the most common, due to its size. In both cases, you get hit through any and all line of sight, be it roof, wall, or floor, so long as the character's feet (not necessarily head, for example) are in it. I think it is because these AoEs functionally do not have line of sight that infernal guardian initially did what it did.

I guess I've never noticed this as much with other AOEs aside from caltrops because of its noticeable visual and snare and because most other AOEs don't have a similarly large radius. Thanks for the clarification.

I got killed on the second floor tower on the bridge from a destro ult in the first floor tunnel going to the bridge ramp. Typical...

Yea I brought this up because I got killed in one of those side rooms on the bridge because a couple guys were coming through the tunnel with destro ults.
