Shadow Step blocking damage to all characters

I just fought a team with maxed Elektra in the Cold War PvP, and after she got enough black AP for Shadow Step I switched targets and started matching away black tiles... But even when I was attacking her allies, any damage I sent their way triggered a shadow step trap exactly as if I'd been targeting Elektra. All damage dealt was canceled, a trap blew up and the attacking character took damage per the ability.

    I also experienced this glitch. If this is how it will function from now on, everyone is going to have to re-evaluate Elektra.

    Probably rhis gets ninja fixed, so i expect these to be also treated:

    other Elektra bugs to fix:

    This issue seems to affect other instances of 'self only' tiles including vision density tiles and house party protocol tiles (in the boss fight, at least). There may be others.

    Tile ownership is officially borked icon_e_smile.gif

    Posted this in her character thread as well. I feel it's a good bug for her and hopefully they just change the tooltip for her.

    Her black traps are also triggering after OML's passive red strikes. For instance, she would fire her black, that would trigger Logan's passive and place strike tiles which would then cause one trap to colapse and damage the target.

    I saw the same thing happening to my characters as well when using Electra's Shadow Step.

    This is also happening for 5* Iron Man's house party protocol. It is proccing when anyone takes damage (even if its below the ~9k threshold)

    I think I had the same thing happen with vision's yellow, even if he was not in front the damage reduction kicked in.

    Please, please be intended stealth-buffs to both Elektra and Vision. They don't feel OP at all, but rather now feel like viable support characters on-par with others I regularly use.

    Sorry, but if Elektra is triggering on self-damage, it's definitely a bug.

    I noticed this and wanted to tack on that in addition to Elektra and Vision, Wolverine: X-Force's yellow is healing whoever is in front when it triggers.

    I really hope they leave it alone. It totally makes her an actual 4 star. I beg D3 to keep it. Please leave it be.
