Everyone is doing it and its getting annoying. In Every single batleground i see shamans,mages druids and warlocks casting spells or healing players while being behind an object. It really ruins all the fun and they're abusing with it. Why do you have '''shhh round the corner'' when you can heal from behind the corner. Fix the collision please.
Line of sight, commonly abbreviated LOS, is an unobstructed line drawn from your character to an enemy. Most abilities or spells and ranged attacks require that you have line of sight to your target to cast them, and will give a message when you don't, canceling the activation.

Why exactly is it a big deal, if the solution is that easy ? This situation, gives you the chance to fire back too after all...and LOS works in important situations, so /shrug IMO.

How would you backfire if you're a retri paladin for example? You'd have to go all the way around untill you reach your target.

Well, if your class cant backfire, you still can get the fuck away from there. Different situation, favor different classes just like the tunnels in wsg arent optimal for casters. Both are avoidable.

Be happy that there's some los in bg's. On retail it didn't exist.

Map systems is insane technology that really no one messes with except for the higher up people that put them in place. There's really nothing we can do about this unless it would randomly happen to be an easy fix, which I'm sure it's not.
