As long as combat is about blowing up barrels, drowning the opponent in surfaces and shoving minotaurs off ledges it doesn't really matter how exact Bane's targeting is.
But yeah I'd like to pick the targets. You kind of can when you move the targeting radius around but it's so clunky.
And I hope they remove the cheese tactics from the game asap so we can start the actual testing for more stuff like this.
