Lightning Grenades are very clearly broken. (Destiny)

You can clearly see the grenade is visible from your character when it goes off, so you'd clear the ray check and should take damage.

That all seems totally logical to me, both in terms of game logic and physics.

Let me be clear. I have two problems here:
1. I think the wall should block the grenade's effect when you are on the other side of it. Drawing a line from the grenade to me or the other player shows you have to turn the corner to hit either of us. If the wall was solid would you still be ok with us being hit?
2. The grenade's area of damage very clearly does not match up with its animation. I see a straight bolt of lightning entirely within a mostly enclosed area. Both myself and a teammate get hit even though we are very clearly beyond the wall which the animation does not even reach.

I very strongly disagree this it is logical for a grenade with a straight lightning bolt animation to do damage beyond and around a doorway from that animation. If either myself or the other player had been standing to the front of the cage, then sure, maybe the effect extends a little beyond the visible animation. But we were off to the side past a doorway. Please, please tell me you at least understand where I'm coming from there... :(
