Yamato dies while trying to ult due to Djinn's curse

[Peutros]

Attempted to ult with Yamato in the last possible second, died to Djinn's mark but the ult still went on cooldown which technically means I died during Yamato's ult.

Match ID: 18211376.
Happens at 22:10

Thanks to @snek for the .webm

Important edit: apparently Djinn's mark can just kill Yamato during ult channel, the webm reported makes it hard to notice but other players have reported as much.

Had the same bug happen to me, also bydjinns mark.

confirmed via sandbox testing

apparently if Yamato cast 4 when there's any marks on her it automatically detonates those before her ult is in effect.

This happened to me today, so this is not fixed yet.

Since the tooltip specifies "After an initial invincible transformation" Yamato should not be able to be killed because of effects applied while starting the channel.

I can confirm; it happened to me too in a recent game today.

Yeah, this bug has been happening since Mirage was released. Hopefully we can draw more attention to it as it's very painful to play around.

I've seen this happen multiple times to my friend who mains Yamato.

We did some testing in sandbox mode and came to a few conclusions.

It seems that Djinn's Mark is coded as a debuff of some sort, and no matter how its removed - Mirage activating Djinn's Mark, timeout, debuff remover or Yamato Ultimate - causes the Mark to go off and deal damage.

Specifically in the case of Yamato's Ultimate things seems to trigger in an order that causes the damage to hit before Yamato gains any immunities.
By description Shadow Transformation says "After an initial invincible transformation... and you gain immunity to negative status effects." This should imply the immunity activates before removing any negative status effects, such as Djinn's Mark.

Some clarity on how Djinn's Mark should works would be nice. Should the damage happen even if its cleansed or removed? Or should removing it from any means other than timeout or Mirage activating the ability cause it to just fizzle and do no damage.

Obviously this game is in early Alpha and there are a million interactions happening every game, but this one is a specific one that is, I don't want to say game breaking.. But very very annoying and difficult to deal with in the Yamato vs. Mirage matchup.
