Possible issue with cover

Like most of you, I've played a lot of games and know that things aren't always perfect.  But I've noticed a spike in receiving damage and being killed while I'm under cover of one kind or another.  I might be around a corner on a map, behind a barrier wall, or (and the one that really sticks out) under an arch on the two bridges map.  My head is covered, I'm back under there a bit, and I'm still getting killed by both Javelins and Helix missiles.  It just doesn't make sense to me how its happening.  

Up until about version 2.25, if I was around a corner or under something, the visuals and the same effects matched up pretty well.  In other words, if I was around a corner the missiles or EM rifle shots couldn't clip through the wall to get me.  Now it appears that they are.

I understand splash damage, but that should be a smaller amount of damage than a direct hit.  So that should be the cause of me being killed from full health.  Unless splash damage works differently than it does in any other game I've ever played that is.

I guess the point of this is, is anyone else having this issue or is it just me?

Even I have noticed for a few days that I get hit by javs and Helix even with cover on my head. Also i get hit with em rifle while i see that i was in cover when i see the death scene.

Don't forget ares shield extends beyond cover and can therefore still be hit.

Fair, but this has nothing to do with Ares as I don't even own him.
