There is currently a Winter Lord spawned next to the Resistance entrance to the Underground in Nova Praetoria on Guardian. A group of us assembled to try to take him down and discovered a nasty interaction between his AI and the 'tethering' code that mobs in Praetoria had.
We ground him down to about 20% HP when he decided to run; he leaped onto the building south of where he'd spawned and ran east along the rooftop, being chased by two of us, when he suddenly stopped, turned around, and walked off the roof and back to his spawn point, instantly healing in the process.
This makes it effectively impossible to take down a Winter Lord in Praetoria unless you can lock him down so he can't run to the tether limit and trigger the instantaneous heal.
"But in our enthusiasm, we could not resist a radical overhaul of the system, in which all of its major weaknesses have been exposed, analyzed, and replaced with new weaknesses."
