Overkill not Triggering when Supercollider / Mass Hysteria causes minions to attack each other

Pretty straight forward. I noticed Overkill cards not Triggering when attacking enemy or friendly units when forced to attack by Supercollider or Mass Hysteria.

This happening for anyone else? Or is this intended?

Overkill triggered even when overkill minion forced to attack by Supercollider or Mass Hysteria if it was your turn.

If he cast Mass Hysteria, or attacked with Supercollider, then it certainly was his turn…

I would guess that Overkill doesn’t work on forced attacks.

Supercollider itself does not have Overkill.
One can attack with Supercollider into a minion with Overkill; if that minion survives it will attack a neighbor, and it could kill that neighbor with excess damage. However, since it is my turn and not my minion, Overkill would not trigger.
Doublade posted a recording of a test game where they used Misdirection to get Supercollider to attack one of their own minions, and in that case the Overkill effect does indeed trigger. Check the links in Doublade’s post.

So Overkill DOES work on forced attacks.
