Icarus Jump triggers overwatch?

[Spitfire]

The icarus jump ability tooltip says that the skill bypasses overwatch and reaction fire, but it does not.

grappling hook also triggers overwatch now...

btw moving by only one tile now triggers overwatch. You should know this because it's going to be a painful experience the first time this significant change kicks off. That's probably the reason why the other moves also trigger OW. Beware commander.

Is that a bug though?

Seems like a deliberate change.
The grappling hook one just could not have changed "by accident".

But it kind of makes sense, to be honest.

Grappling hook from the Hunter also triggers overwatch. Unless he gets immune to overwatch.

Well, the rules have always been symmetrical for all sides.

We're talking about 2 different things here, the ability itself says it does not trigger overwatch, but it does.

Yea, the failure to update the description or exclude it from the change is, indeed, a bug from what I can tell.

Really? I recently used Skirmisher's hook and avoided overwatch. I had an impression that in vanilla it triggered it, but in WOTC it was the opposite.
