Reactive Barrier doesn't proc on abilities listed as "Displacement"

[5hoenix]

https://forums.playdeadlock.com/threads/07-04-2024-update.9652/ As of this update, it was said to proc on Displacements. As far as I remember that worked fine but seemingly randomly after a more recent patch, this is no longer the case(?) Things like Dynamo 1, Holliday 1, Lash 1, Bebop 1, All do not proc reactive. This is a very bad pseudo-nerf to the item and I hope this gets fixed asap plz

It seems like there's a bit of inconsistency for what is considered a "displacement"

Most abilities that "move you" are categorized as a displacement currently. This is stuff like Bebop Hook, Abrams charge, stuff like that.

But also abilities that knock you up, lash 1, bepop 1, Holiday 1, billy 1, are also categorized as displacement.

It seems like knock ups do not actually trigger reactive barrier, but displacements do, it's quite likely that, in the patch notes, the first version of displacement was the referred one, so stuff like hooks and Para ult.
By testing in sandbox you can see these still work.

As for knock ups, nothing has changed, here's how reactive barrier triggered in the December 2024 version:

All that being said, this could still be a bug, but it's been there for a long time and it's only specfically for knock-ups (again, Lash Slam, Holiday Barrels, Billy's Bash, Bepop's Uppercut)
