Reluctant Role Model Copy Bug
If a player has, for example, two Reluctant Role Models on the battlefield, and an allied counter-bearing creature dies, twice as many counters are placed at their discretion, contrary to the rules text which literally reads "put those counters on up to one target creature."
As currently implemented, I'm led to believe that the card is copying those counters. This would make sense if the card read "put that many counters of the same types on up to one target creature." However, as the rules text denotes, "put those counters on up to one target creature," no matter how many of these triggers go on the Stack, there should never be more counters to place than were on the original creature because it should literally just move them around.

To move counters means, to take them away from the object they are on, and then put an equal amount on the other object. And since a creature that dies doesn't have any counters to take away from to begin with (they ceased to exist with the zone change), this rules apples:
122.8. If a triggered ability instructs a player to put one object’s counters on another object and that
ability’s trigger condition or effect checks that the object with those counters left the battlefield, the
player doesn’t move counters from one object to the other. Rather, the player puts the same number
of each kind of counter the first object had onto the second object.Twice the trigger means twice the counter placement. Triple the same, etc. Nothing wrong here.
