Sergei & Agrafena's passive (Damage on Special) bypasses Taunt

[Wolfen]

I have encountered this issue twice now. When I have taunt enabled on my hero (Ludwig) and Sergei’s 2nd charge fires, it bypasses my taunt and hits all my heroes. This seems like a bug to me as when Taunt is enabled, it should only damage the taunt hero, not everyone.

Krampus' Taunt Skill v.s. Gullinbursti (Working as Intended)

So, Krampus is supposed to cover all of his allies from massive attacks (E.g. Azlar’s burning attack) or even single damage (e.g. Lianna’s shot). But today I was fighting a gullinbursti so I charged Krampus, to my surprise, even with taunt on, gullinbursti managed to kill 2 of my heroes when his special kicked in. Isn’t that what taunt is for? The description reads something along the lines: “Prevents enemies from executing special attacks on allies”. So In spite of not being a direct attac…

I’ve been explained this before. Gullin’s special is a status effect rather than a special skill.
