[2020] [BUG] Necro shades pathing bug still not acknowledged.

'ey alls,

First off - this issue is one we're investigating and seeking to address.

To better explain some of what is going on I need to explain some of the difference between an obstructed and a pathing error.

A pathing error is when we try to create a pathing line between you and the point you're targeting and can't find a way to do that. Picture you targeting a point up on a cliff; you've got no way to walk there so you'll get a pathing error.

An obstructed error is where there isn't a direct line of sight to the point because there is collision in the way. Picture shooting an arrow at a spot behind a wall, you could potentially walk there around the wall, but you can't shoot the spot because of that pesky wall. Thus obstructed error.

In this case what is happening is that your target is the ENEMY near your shade, not the shade itself, who you may not be able to see.

An example of why the obstruction requirement exists is that a Scourge being able to drop shades up on keep wall edges and attack anyone standing out of sight up there, shutting down nearly all forms of defense, is not fun gameplay.

We'll see what we can do to make it more usable in other situations, but mechanical differences between game modes is not something we are looking for.
