Do force balls not bounce anymore?

[blp.3489]

I've got all the shield generator masteries but the force balls don't bounce when I use it.  I remember that they used to bounce for me.  Do they bounce for other people?  Or are there specific circumstances that determine if it will bounce?

I'm not really sure about the bouncing specifically, but they are affected by projectile denial skills. Afaik it's the only siege weapon that has this problem. If you're shooting at a group of enemies, most likely your force ball is getting destroyed or reflected back at you.

I tested it without any enemies present.  It lands on open ground and disappears.

They don't bounce for me either. No idea if they ever did, as i've never really been the one to get on the shield gen.

Has anyone seen a force ball bounce recently?  I wonder if bouncing got broken and the devs aren't even aware.  

The wiki page says: "The number of bounces varies between 3-6 times." and shield generator mastery 4 says that it increases the average number of bounces.

I knew I wasn't crazy (maybe). Deez force balls have stopped working since at least the latest patch, maybe when they reworked siege.
