Hold the Line + Haywire Shot glitch in PVP

AuthorMessage
Community Leader
Hello KI Devs,

While I was doing a practice match on my swashbuckler, I encountered an interesting interaction with haywire shot and hold the line. I used my haywire battle angel's Haywire Shot against an opposing buccaneer pirate. As expected, it knocked the buccaneer back. The opposing pirate then took her turn (she didn't move). The next round, I moved my angel to attack the opposing pirate. Instead of immobilizing and reducing the dodge of the angel when she reached the opposing pirate, the angel was immobilized and had her dodge reduced about halfway through her movement. The spot where she was immobilized was next to where the buccaneer pirate was the previous round. For the sake of hold the line, the game registered the buccaneer pirate as being in her pre-knockback spot, rather than her actual spot. Assuming this is not intentional, could this be fixed in an ensuing update? Thanks.

tldr: I knock enemy buccaneer back with haywire shot. Buccaneer doesn't move on her turn. On my next turn, hold the line triggered as if the pirate had *NOT* been knocked back.

I experience this glitch a lot but mostly in PvE. The same glitch also occurs when a Galewind Doubloon is used. Alongside that, Readied Spell and Overwatch's trigger range doesn't change either, causing me to get sniped most of the times.

(Despite their decreased accuracy Muskets can still land a shot. How accurate are they!?)
