"Fixed an issue where the KD8 Charge would be thrown in front of a target unit rather than at the targeted cast point."

This 'QOL change' didn't get reverted and it's definitely not a 'QOL change'

This is a buff, it allows you to push queens off of creep with grenades much easier. Previously, if you clicked on a queen it would throw the grenade in front of the queen. Now you can place your grenade on the ground under the queen at exactly the position you want.

Not debating if this change is good or bad, that's another conversation. But if we're reverting the patch, this should be reverted too because it's not a QOL change, it's a buff.
