Bug: Its Teebo all over again, Sith Assassin Bugged!
Background info:
We all remember the Teebo lead stealth bug, Teebo gets two turns of stealth from his ability but his leader makes him pop out early because it overwrites the buff with a one turn duration copy of stealth. Same concept, swap teebo for maul and the ability is on Sith Assassin.
Relevant info:
Sith Assassin grants herself stealth for 2 turns in 2 ways. On her basic if her target is already debuffed On her second ability that grants foresight, stealth and tm to sith.
Problem:
If Sith Assassin gains stealth for 2 turns and then evades any attack while stealth'd she will properly gain 20tm and improperly regain stealth with a lower duration from maul lead, this will make her pop out of stealth the next turn after gaining it for 2. Teebo all over again.
Reproduction steps:
Enter an arena match with Darth Maul Zeta lead, and Assassin on your team
Use assassin second special
Have other team do aoes and have assassin dodge
Assassin prematurely pops out of stealth next turn

The 20 second video linked above opens with assassin using her special, sid then aoes, she dodges and gains stealth, then her next turn she pops out of stealth, note the 2 turn cooldown on her special she just used, with her out of stealth.
TLDR;
Sith Assassin under maul lead has the same problem stealth problem that teebo lead has, the stealth prematurely ends because it is overwritten by a lower duration copy of the stealth_buff.

That is why it hasn't been fixed yet.
That's almost unbelievably poor.
I certainly hope there's a huge discount.
With foresight she will obviously dodge any aoe, meaning she will revert to the 'zaul' version of stealth rather than the two turn version from her ability.
That means she will drop out of stealth before her next turn, so no ignoring protection.
This has been flagged as a bug and sent up to our dev team for review. We're hoping to nudge this in alongside our future Quality of Life update. Thanks!
YAY thankyou for the response!
By the way... heres the easy way to fix this..
"Where an active effect doesnt have tag: taunt_buff"
change to
"Where an active effect doesnt have tag: taunt_buff or stealth_buff"
^ only for the stealth application, not the tm application.
This will stop assassin from gaining stealth from maul lead if she already has stealth from another way. The other sith dont care if they reapply 1 turn stealth. This doesnt fix every buff overwriting but it DOES fix this one edge case. Unlike teebo, we never have a situation where they will regain stealth at the beginning of a turn, so the sideeffect it caused to teebo will no occur.
Thanks and hopefully you guys get this out asap.
This should've been addressed and rectified in our latest update. Cheers!
