What happens when the bug occurs? For Catalyst, Vantage, and Mad Maggie, default Legendary banner frames don't properly fade-out their model as it goes over the edge of the area. Instead, there is a sharp cutoff.
What should be happening instead? There should be a fade-out when the character model escapes the area, like there is for every other legend's legendary banner frames. (See attached images.)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Equip a legendary banner frame on Catalyst, Vantage, or Mad Maggie and then equip any pose that goes "off screen", and look at where it goes over the edge of the area. You will see a sharp cutoff instead of a fade. (See attached images.)

‌

The Legendary banner frames for Catalyst, Vantage and Mad Maggie are missing a fade-out effect (applied to the character model when it goes too far over the edge) that every other legendary frame on every other legend (including Newcastle) has.

Here's what's supposed to happen when a character model goes over the edge:

Note that Newcastle's model fades out as it reaches the edge of its available space.

And here's what happens instead for Catalyst, Vantage, and Mad Maggie (on their Legendary banner frames, but NOT on their Epic banner frames):

So instead of a fade-out, there's a sharp cutoff as they reach the edge, which makes various poses look worse with Legendary banner frames than they oughta.

This is an extremely minor issue in terms of impact but it definitely bothers me.

@a-weird-bird Great catch. Like you say it's pretty minor, but it should be consistent. We'll pass this on, likely to be quietly fixed - something like this might not even make the patch notes - in a future update.
