Act 6 Carina Challenge Workaround - Intended?

This morning, i took my Joe Fixit up to r5 in preparation for the 6.3.1 Carina Challenge. I wanted to take a test run before I actually do the challenge. Took Fixit, Sunspot, Hyperion, and Yellowjacket, who are all champions you can use for the carina challenge. Then, I also took Hercules, who is not eligible for the challenge.
I finished the path and beat the Black Bolt mini, then got to the Champion Switch node. I switched Hercules for Ultron for synergy purposes, and so my whole team became eligible for the Carina Challenge.
Didn’t expect to do it, but I solo’d Medusa with Fixit, thinking nothing of it. Thought it was a good sign for when I actually do the challenge.
To my surprise, it gave me the credit for beating the challenge. I severely doubt that you’re supposed to be allowed to do this. If someone would be able to confirm if this is an exploit and that I should file a ticket with support to be able to reverse the effects, then that would be great. Thanks!

I did Revolution in volume 2 last night. I only used the resources in the stash to complete. But If this really happened, it kind of sucks for me. I could have saved the resources for other objectives.
Maybe they just gave up, because it caused other problems.
Or they activated to incorrect challenges.
Both seem quite paussible.
Took away carinas for 2 months....Now they are back with nothing changed. Lololol.
Enjoy guys... Carina doesn't care what means summoners use to complete her challange.
So this was, unsurprisingly, not intended. We won't know what action will be taken to resolve this (ie potential clawback of rewards, resets etc.) so take that into consideration when thinking of using this exploit!
More info to come.
Carina's Challenges will be taken down temporarily... again. But they will have them up again very soon. Apparently the build populated with old data. Shouldn't be a lengthy fix.
Updates to follow.
You took the challenges down for nearly 2 months, and didn't fix probably the most obvious "exploit" that was going to come from it. Why would anybody who doesn't check forums or other social media assume that this wasn't intended?
