Support Swap (Maybe Leapfrog) Bug?

Anyone else noticing anything funny with support swapping today?

I just played the Blade PvP on my lunch hour. I noticed something was funny after a few matches. Blade was able to fire his Purple and Black powers for 4 and 5 AP instead of the normal costs.

So I started looking at battle start and the costs were normal (7 & 10). I have Leapfrog on Blade and mine was down to low health (3K at battle start). So low that as soon as he was damaged he was going away. As soon as he returned on my next turn the costs suddenly went to 4 and 5 to fire those powers (very sweet). Not sure why it's those values other than when I looked at my Blade he is set to 4/5/4 so the 5 and 4 costs happen to be his cover distribution.

It gets even weirder when I checked the daily quests and one is win with Gorgon 15 times. I didn't use Gorgon at all but the quest entirely completed using Blade. Then I realized that Leapfrog WAS on Gorgon before I swapped it to Blade for the PvP. So somehow Blade was counting as Gorgon for the quest.

Anyone else seeing this?

    Many other characters (perhaps every character?) counted as Apocalypse when his tasks were live a few days ago. Probably the same bug? I don’t think it has anything to do with supports.

    Yes, I recall the Apoc bug. So perhaps this is a repeat of that in terms of being considered Gorgon.

    But the other parts where Blades powers got set to 4 and 5 was repeatable (happened for easily 15 matches once he got low on health) and always happened after Leapfrog sent him away and he returned.

    Maybe it’s an away bug. See if you can get your Blade sent away without a support and see if he comes back with a different build.

    Not sure if it's the same bug, but playing PVP today, my opponent started with 19 purple. Wish I had taken a screenshot. I looked at their supports and, who they were, there was no way that should have happened.

    Were there a lot of strike tiles out? Blade’s green ability was rebalanced to reduce the AP costs on his black and purple abilities for every 2 friendly strike tiles on the board up to 6.

    This smells a lot of DevPool's power with messing around with the characters abilities! ;-)

    I had one match today out of 62 that 1a5 Spidey's powers all went to 10 ap instead of 6. I wasn't using leapfrog and the enemy team wasn't using anything that could've done it. Was also just a Jane SC team I was fighting.
