Hello, this is a pretty complicated bug, so let me explain how I know it's a bug, and when it started etc.

So the first fact we need to get out of the way is that there are two different move priorities.

The first and most obvious one is based on position on the grid. This determines which mystery goes against which opposing mystery, as well as standard vs standard.

The second one, that alot of people ignore, is the passive priority order. This one determines which passive happens first and can be manipulated so that clones recieve buffs etc. This order is manipulated by time of placement on the grid.

What a lot of people DIDN'T know though, was that the passive priority was also being used as a tie-breaker for the position priority. For example, if you have a Neji, and an Iruka in prio1 and prio2, which one will go first? Their mysterys do essentially the same thing (interupting opposing mysterys), so you'd normally think that whoever was in prio1 would go first. Wrong, who goes first is actually determined by passive priority, which means if you placed Iruka on the grid BEFORE Neji, then Iruka would always use his Shadow Shuriken first.

A more advanced way of making use of the passive priority, was that if you placed an interupter down AFTER an initiator, you could make it so the initiator would use his mystery AFTER the interupter had determined it was safe.

Anyways cutting back to the bug. As of this last patch I determined that the Battle AI no longer runs on passive prio to do this, but the OPPOSITE of passive prio. IE Iruka would move AFTER Neji with the current Battle AI in the previous example.

This is a HUGE problem for people who have their teams fine-tuned to do max damage with max control all on auto.

Please take a look at it for me will you?
