Junker queen shout

Why does JQ's shout need line of sight?

An audible ability shouldn't require LOS. 15 meter radius when the current state of overwatch is no longer group up to push through, it has evolved into split up and look for a pick and distract. A majority of heros now have a movement ability. Most of the time dps is on the flank or flying around with a cat. And supports are either deep in your own back line heal botting or flanking with dps. Yeah you get the occasional game with actual shout value on the team but most of the time I play queen seems like no one on the team gets value unless I'm calling out a group up(If they are in VC/I got time to ping till they pay attention) or I'm changing my push by chasing down a teammate/ running around a pillar so a teammates can get some benefit from a 12 or 15 second(6v6) cooldown.

I would be interested in data that shows the amount of times queen shouts and it affects some of the team compared to only queen benefiting from it.

Edit: I saw the ability in stadium when it was added and it has bothered me since, why would you need line of sight for a audible ability? Also I think leaping strike should be on her base kit seeing as how new heros this year all a multitude of options in their kit and it seems like every hero has a movement ability. Feels like overwatch is power creeping but JQ kit and patch notes have cobwebs for how long now? Other than just bumping her numbers up and down. Her only movement ability is begging for a speed ring.
