[BUG, PvX, all classes] Skills don't work properly (often at all) with Action Camera ON + skill lag

[snh.7091]

This bug is present ever since AC is in the game (since 2015).

AFFECTS

• Every class
• Every game mode

HOW TO REPRODUCE

• Have a character with a shadow-stepping ability try to shadow-step with AC ON while not directly facing an opponent but still having them in your line of sight. Abilities will fail. The same will happen anytime the terrain is slightly narrower. Affects every class that has a shadow-stepping ability (video footage: https://share.cleanshot.com/Q2TM7Ch6 )

DESIRED OUTCOME

Players using AC should be able to shadow-step no matter which direction they're facing, same as players not using it. Skills work without issues for players not using AC at any range, so this should extend to AC users as well. Reason is it's often not possible to target/view opponents with AC ON as with it OFF. Take higher ground e.g., when looking from bottom up is impossible to target, one must look down to see above, in which scenario shadow-step won't work.

ADDITIONAL OBSERVATIONS

• When fighting close-ranged opponents with AC ON, skills often activate but immediately interrupt, thus their cool-down is activated, but no outgoing effect is achieved, even if the opponent is faced directly/followed with the crosshair precisely.
