Anyone else noticing odd behavior with this release?

I've been getting sporadic and difficult to pin down reports of oddities in the game since the latest update from alliance mates, but I couldn't tell if it was a real issue or not because the problem reports were a bit ambiguous. However, I just fought a Hyperion in Map 4 with Mephisto, usually a trivial fight, and Mephisto did not apply soul imprison once. He didn't apply it at the start of the fight and Hyperion had power gain, and he didn't apply it on any of my special one attacks. It was as if soul imprison simply wasn't there.
I dueled a Hyperion immediately afterwards (and some other stuff) and soul imprison seemed to work as it always did. So I don't have any video evidence of the problem: it seemed to happen only in that one fight. I'm wondering if this is just one of those random one-off bugs I've sometimes seen in the game, or if this is something more pervasive.
@Kabam Miike is this something Kabam's game servers log, so you could tell me if this was just a glitch or an actual game bug?

Both should temporarily prevent Hype from procing Power Gain; but I've noticed that frequently he still won't produce buffs after they expire (old thread about this). He usually starts again after launching an SP3.
Similar thing happened with VTD when one of my buffs from 100 aberration didn't trigger at all. At the beginning I thought it was only the symbiotic champs but it seems everything/one is a little bugged right now.
Also everyone please keep in mind that if you have a specific issue to report, you will need to post each issue in their own separate thread unless the issue already has one going for it. This makes it easier to track what information is related to which issue and makes it easier for others who may be experiencing the same thing to find it and share their info. You can find the template for how to report bugs on the forums here.
But I have another one for you. I saw another weird occurrence on another Hyperion, this one in this month's Uncollected monthly, the fight where you take the right portal (10) past the MODOK on map 2.2. It happened twice, not precisely in the same way but I have a video of the second one. I made double certain to capture the basic map layout, the tile he's on, the buffs on him, and even his abilities sheet just to verify it looks like a normal Hyperion.

The fight goes normally up to the end, and then at 1:19 when Venom is backed to the wall he uses SP1 and steals Hyperion's power gain, and the power gain instantly comes right back - there isn't even a moment when it visibly drops, it looks like it is just refreshing. It happens twice in two hits of SP1. In the first fight which I didn't record this was happening right from the start of the fight, but in the second one that I did record it only happened at the end. Still, that's odd. Maybe that's related to what was happening to me in AQ.
