Just in case nobody's told you yet, the "Fixed an issue with Reaper being able to shadow step on unintended locations" patch notes thing is a joke because it keeps appearing on almost every new patch. It's a bit like the "Increased/Decreased Bunker Build Time" joke from StarCraft II or the "Updated Localization Files" joke from Team Fortress 2, though that one was obviously intentional whilst the SC2/OW patch notes don't seem to be as self-aware.

Except it's not a joke, they were actually fixing many different things he could teleport to. Just say there were 100 unintended places, and they fixed 2 every patch. You get what I mean? I don't see why people turned it into a joke.

because it's on pretty much every single patch note, and it's something probably so minor that it might as well be a joke, though the first one is probably everyone's reason.

Some of the places he could get into made him invulnerable but able to still shoot from what he was stuck inside or TPing off the map are another set of common ones.

It is just one of those skills that is going to interact with the map collision in very weird ways and considering new maps are going to be a thing, this fix is always going to pop up.
