Barbians leap able to go through walls/gates

It seems that the barbarian leap ability is able to go through many solid walls and gates. In the screenshot below I was able to leap through the gate to the right. This gate is not able to open and is solid.

The Barbarian is able to Leap Attack anywhere that is pathable. This is to allow him to always enter combat with that ability. Although it can look weird with him jumping through walls, etc., it would be worse for the player to cast the spell, have him hit a wall, and spend that Fury doing nothing.

If you think this looks bad enough to write feedback on, please post in the Beta Feedback forum :)

It has to do with how we designed our levels. Since the Barbarian literally leaves the ground, he is technically jumping over the bars/walls. The Demon Hunter always stays on the ground, so he will get blocked by stuff.

Also, the Barbarian is able to jump down off of some ledges to the floor below, depending on if he can land there. The Demon Hunter on the other hand cannot.

It's just a difference in how we designed their skills. Good question though!
