Wards not giving full vision of certain bushes?

Today while playing I found an odd bush that was not completely revealed by my ward. A similar bush on the opposite side has the same behavior. My only guess as to why this happens is that the bush curves a small bit around the wall.

The admittedly very small section of the bush that has no vision is big enough to hide a champion or ward in, might be worth taking a look at. This is easiest to reproduce by warding over the wall.

This is entirely intended...you can use the corners to your advantage, or put your ward in a bad spot and be at a disadvantage.

Also, instead of using the Snipping Tool, you might prefer pressing Windows Key + Print Screen (copies only the active window) then pasting it into MS Paint.

That's kinda just the thing with line-of-sight and round walls where vision is obstructed beyond the point where the line hits the tangent of the wall. Happens in real life too.

Here are 2 images I made in mspaint to illustrate what is happening:

  • Pink ball is a ward (or anything with vision)
  • Black ball is a wall
  • Red lines are line of sight
  • Orange space is dead zones where things can't be seen by the pink ball
  • White is space is area where vision is not obstructed from the pink ball

Notice how the the pink ball closer to the wall has a larger dead zone.
