Mercenaries stealth broken interaction

[mythsealaes-2976]

if you play hearthstone for as long as i do you get used to expecting certain interactions.

im trying out my new pvp comp that is built on trying to counter other comps.

im opening with malchezar, arana, and garona. and i can swap all 3 thanks to maestra.

my enemy plays valeera. but my counter to her is chromie on bench with stroke of midnight.

in first game i got valeera to 17 health thanks to malchezar check your weapons.
next round chromie and i used maestra 3rd ability on unit adjacent to valeera to kill her.
she was stealthed so the dmg ignored her and went to brightwing (yeah 5 v3 merc build enemy)
why does it skipped valeera?

A possible reason:

@StarGust-11934

Brightwing’s Ring’s effect of pulling Brightwing from the bench can cause Merc
positions to be desynced between the two clients and the server.
This can cause issues when players attempt to use skills which affect adjacent or
opposite mercs, as they will visually appear to be in different positions to where
they actually are. It appears under these conditions Brightwing’s position
can even be an invalid one in game, causing Brightwing and potentially her allies
to become
immune to abilities such as Maestra’s Shfiting Strike temporarily.

I don’t believe I can test or review your situation thoroughly, though, so I suppose a prompt response after a cursory examination is all I can offer for now.
