Haven’t been active in forums lately so apologies if this is plastered everywhere and I’ve missed it.
But just lost 2nd grand arena of this tournament due to geo bug. One hit my anakin with huge protection up, one hit my nest. Literally ruined my counters for the team. Cleared everything else including DR, my opponent has stalled and the bug has cost me the match.
We deserve compensation, it’s a joke that so many of us have spent thousands on this game to be beaten by a bug (excuse the pun) that’s 3 years old.

Just adjust your strategy when dealing with the Geos ?♂️
Whilst I'm not opposed to teams that make a mockery of nest, spy isn't dispelling her bonus protection so it shouldn't provide bonus damage

It's not the bonus protection, its spy's many stacks of stealth that spy accumulates from his unique and attacking out of turn that makes this huge number.

People don’t think Spy hitting hard is a problem. People think he’s hitting harder than the mechanics suggest he should be hitting, which is a problem.
People have narrowed it down to a great possibility that it is because of a fix to a teebo issue with stealth years ago.
If something is not WAI or as described, that usually is a problem.
With CD ser, CD triangle and Offense up you get to that kind of damage output with 18 dispelled (don't forget Spy's own). Ability has 11000 base (11000 *1.085)*1.5*(1.5+.3+.42)*(18*0.4)=308571

The fact is that Bonus protection is an status effect, and Spy's kit dispell them for bonus damage.
The kit doesn't say Buffs, say status effects. It is not related to stacking stealth and thus it is not an error
It is related to stealth. "If geonosian spy is stealthed when this ability is used, dispel all status effects on HIMSELF and the target, and deal 40% more damage for each effect dispelled this way".
The stacking stealth comes from how CG fixed a bug with teebo? His leadership was granting himself 1 turn of stealth which was overriding the 3 turn stealth buff and he was coming out of stealth early.
So from Spys hive mind tactics, every time he assists and scores a crit hes gaining another stack of stealth for one turn(think HOT stacks from chirrut) and when he gets to use his special dispels all those stacks of stealth.

This mechanic was the exact method that led me to start shooting for GBA for the Padme event when they reworked the kit. My brain said, "the 40% protection up bonus from out of turn attacks isn't stacking, but spy's damage bonuses due to dispelling status effects are... = laughing at protection up."
I think the largest programming opportunity for damage error is going to come from how they added the 40% damage bonus for more than 1 effect dispelled. If they propagated it in a summative fashion then it would be less, but if they propagated it in a nested fashion then it would be much more.
Either way it is a lot if before spy's or nest's turn he gets attacked by 16 assists, gets protection up from each 1 and then spy uses silent strike. This is what is happening
