Yondu steals Proxima's Prowess through block

Playing against Yondu in the side-quest, I've run into an issue which seems like a bug; although may be a predictable consequence of however it is that the game calculates Ability Accuracy, and Ability Accuracy Reduction (AAR).

Given that Yondu inflicts nasty bleeds through block and has non-contact attacks, I thought that Proxima would bypass most of his nastiness with her abilities to (1) Parry non-contact attacks and (2) reduce offensive ability Accuracy* whilst blocking.

*Offensive Ability Accuracy loosely translating to 'Ability accuracy at the moment at which you strike your opponent'.

Anyway I was a bit disgruntled when Tech-boy went ahead and Pilfered her Prowess through her block (on Parry, no less):

It's the current side-quest, and there are no nodes preventing AAR. Yondu gains +50% Ability Accuracy on Special or Heavy attack, and I wonder if that ability is interfering with the AAR. But as you can see from the screenshot above and the gif below, it's not even happening on one of those.

However, I do note that whilst Yondu pilfers her Prowess, he doesn't gain an Armour Up buff from it. So is the AAR working against that, but not stopping the initial Pilfer?

The AAR certainly seemed to prevent Proxima suffering any Bleeds through block; although I can't be certain that wasn't RNG-related.

Whilst I enjoy using Yondu, I'm pretty sure this is something he shouldn't be doing. Any thoughts?

Also, as a minor request: when Proxima finally gets reworked, can we turn her Prowess abilities into something else, given that several Tech champs now punish Prowess for 'belonging' to mutants?
