I was running a 2 man level 100 Greater Rift, I was playing a Barbarian and my friend was playing a Monk. The Monk activated a Pylon with Nemesis Bracers equipped. When the Elite pack and the Shadow Clones spawned the Monk Shadow Clone proceeded to kill me. The message I got was “PLAYER was killed by !!Missing!! - 52021 :SeasonTheme_Monk!”

Only the message text was bugged. Your death wasn’t.
Some monsters have “reflect projectile” affix and the clone has projectile skills.
So you were killed by clone’s projectile that was reflected by the monster.
Not a bug.

The problem with this is it makes Hardcore almost unplayable I too died on my HC crusader and I did nothing wrong myself the clone has a mind of its own and will kill you in hardcore if you can’t run away from certain enemies doesn’t seem fair
I said this in Sep before PTR even started:

The issue with clones being able to kill the hero due to reflected projectile attacks was brought up as soon as the PTR patch notes came out, and during the PTR on the PTR forums. As Blizzard went live with it anyway, they don’t care that this is the 2nd season in a row where the theme can cause the unavoidable death of hardcore heroes.
If we accept this isn’t a bug, we also have to accept it’s terrible theme design.

Thanks for the info. I wasn’t aware that monsters could reflect the clone’s projectiles.
