At Season 15 launch, a bug in the Rogue's Dance of Knives skill caused its damage to scale without bound, letting players reach Pit 150 almost immediately after the season began; Blizzard fixed this in a Hotfix within the first days of the season.
This is a concrete, real, and already-resolved example of exactly the kind of runaway scaling bug the task's method section warns about: an unintended multiplicative or repeated-application interaction (the specific root cause was not detailed by available sources) produced damage far beyond design intent. It is documented here as a cautionary case study, not as usable current tech - it is confirmed patched.
Not fully documented publicly; categorized here as a scaling/double-application bug consistent with the general 'bug_risk' pattern the task asks to flag, now closed.
Do not build around Dance of Knives expecting this behavior - it is fixed as of the Hotfix 2 patch for 3.2.1. Included as an illustration that Season 15's brand-new systems (Splinters, Runewords, reworked Overpower) carry real, demonstrated risk of similar undiscovered scaling bugs.

Patch note: 3.2.1 Hotfix 2: Rogue's Dance of Knives no longer spikes into far-higher-than-intended damage
