Direct quote from the Archwing update build notes in October:

Excalibur Changes: ...
 * Radial Javelin:  All enemies within radius of this ability will now be hit with a javelin.  Instead of having this ability radiate out from Excalibur, javelins will now spawn directly around opponents. Javelins will optimize to find a point on each enemy that is safe to be hit, bypassing enemies that may be holding shields or otherwise in cover. There is also no longer a target maximum for this ultimate, meaning anyone in the radius will be an eligible target. Additionally, if the javelin does not kill the enemy, each target that survives will be put into stun for a brief period of time.



'''"All enemies within radius of this ability will now be hit with a javelin." '''



Clearly, it WAS intended to hit enemies through walls. It wasn't a mistake, it was an intentional change made to balance Excalibur after they realized how useless most of his abilities were, and yet still decided to nerf Radial Blind (his only decent one) anyway.



Now they've intentionally taken that back, without reverting Radial Blind too so... yeah, they really hate Excalibur apparently.
