Green glow around champions NOT a simple display issue [Under Investigation]

This is one for the attention of the administrators sooner than later. There is a post above by @Kabam Miike that this is a simple display bug post 14.1update.
Sorry Mike, but that's not the case. Something very odd is happening to PI (as you know), but also the green glow does have a measurable game effect in the arenas.
This picture was taken a few minutes ago.
I then exited the Contest and restarted, and was faced with these altered values and green glow:
A screen grab at the end of my second fight shows the Boost effect in action:
At the end of the day, my points score has increased to 504,676 rather than the 500,563 that it should have done:
Now I could just keep quiet and get the extra points, but (1) that would be a bit unfair on anyone not taking part this week, and (2) although in this example my points were overall increased, I'm not sure that it's always going to be an improvement. I took this on the game before, and only in retrospect thought 'Hey, that's a really low point score for a 4* Vs 4* fight' if you look at Black Widow Vs Cap at the bottom:
So the arena points system is affected as well. For me, the changes happened only in games where I closed the game down and re-opened it. If I just kept playing, the glow and pi changes never arose.
I'm playing on Android 7.0 with a Motorola MotoG5+
Hope that's helpful in sorting a fix.

I put a few Sig stones in my voodoo and AA and there pi went down ??
At the end of the second fight:
So actually what appears to be happening is that (ignoring the intermittent minor PI fluctuations that appear to be a separate issue), the Contest is actually applying a reverse Boost on the affected matches (dividing the points score by 1.3 or by 2) to give the reduced points available for the match, before then applying the Boost itself to return the points to where they should have been.
Worked example - on my very first pic, CM Vs SL is 3060 PTS; on the second it is shown 2353 (not by coincidence, 3060/1.3 =2353) but will subsequently be boosted by 1.3 and then x3 to give the correct points score.
So Coathang3r above is kind of correct that it's not really affecting the game too much. But still, it's definitely weird, and hopefully this is useful information for the Kabam team. Of note, I've never seen it happen with my 5* characters, but I only have a few so can't be authoritative on that.
Also, what happens if someone actually tries to use their own 'real' Boosts? Does this bug mean that you can't, or that they're wasted? Might be worth knowing if you're chasing Green Goblin.
Mine is supposed to go crossbones ( duped) , Cyclops ( duped), groot ( duped) , yellowjacket ( duped), dr voodoo , starlord (duped), nightcrawler.
Mine keeps fluctuating, first Cyclops jumped to my top, followed by crossbones, then Dr voodoo, then yellowjacket and now yellowjacket is on top.
They say it's not noticeable hmm then I guess they're blind in some instance their pi is 400+ higher than its supposed to be.
For example I put together a team with Cyclops, dr voodoo, nightcrawler, rogue, and Phoenix. That team overtook my tops and gave rogue a 400-500 point spike then I levelled her up and she went back to normal then after she went up again and as I put together other teams their pi reflects the current state of tops.
I'm pretty sure something like (pi changing) this happened around the time of the great nerfing or maybe after it and It really makes me wonder just what they were playing around with to make this happen.
Not to mention that green glow that around our champions in various places, like quest, aq, aw, and arena. I haven't seen what the op is talking about yet but I agree that this is more than a simple visual bug and I don't know exactly what kabam is doing but it can't be a good thing and it makes me a little worried given their history.
