The most recent patch supposedly fixed the bug where, after you choose your character at the beginning of the match, it then gets deselected.
I’m still having this happen even after the patch. Anyone else? I was hoping it was fixed once and for all...
EDIT: I am on PC.

I've always had this problem, I thought I was the only one
Many people have had this issue for a long time, but over the past few months it started happening more often for many folks (myself included).
The patch that just went out has listed in the notes that this bug was fixed. Clearly it was not.
I think there are multiple causes of it.. Before the previous patch, people were reporting it happening rarely or to a select few, and then after that patch came out, it started happening over half the time to almost everyone. I think they fixed the most prevalent cause (the recent one), but not the rare cause. So that's why some players are still experiencing it. Personally, I didn't have it happen during 4 hours of play yesterday, where as it happened every other game before the "fix".
I thought it was just part of the game lmao
I'm still getting it in 1/3 to 1/2 of my games.
Edit: PC
Yep, still happening to me too. This is on PS4 console, if it matters.
It happened to me last night on PC. It seemed to occur less often than previously, but that could just be anecdotal.
If you’re on PC I think it deselects if you press a key during the selection and countdown, for example if you press W to run forward during the last few seconds of the countdown it deselects - at least for me
Thought about that and have been very careful not to touch a key or move the mouse. Still happens.
Damn ok, then that’s not it
Pressing A now, sir
It happens to me every single game and has for months on PC. Still happens after patch. I actually thought they put it in on purpose to combat insta locks lol.
I thought it was a feature but now I realize I’m unlucky.
Please post if on PC or which console.
Sorry — I’m on PC (added to my post as well).
Still happening on Console as well
This has happened to me pretty much every game for a while lol, Im on xbox
Still happening, almost every match on pc
Yup. Had the issue before, still have it now. SUPER annoying
Happens to me too. I don't suppose you tab out just after you've selected your hero while you're waiting for the timer to finish? That's what I do and I wondered if tabbing out was the problem.
I never tab out (look at phone instead) and this happens to me constantly.
Still happening to me as of last night.
I also get a new problem where I hit H in the spawn room and it doesn't let me select a hero I have to back out and hit it again.
I thought I was going insane. At least I'm not alone.
Same about 2/3rds of matches on pc. Not too fussed since there’s rarely competition for main tanks :)
I think I only get it when I use my middle button to select rather then double clicking or click then click select.
I'm also still having the issue with the team colors getting mixed up sometimes when using custom UI colors- on PC.
Welp atleast your game is running. Mine was fine before the patch, now stuck on black screen. Troubleshooted everything i found on google, now reinstalling...
Still dealing with this issue too. It’s irritating.
Also still experiencing this problem.
Likewise, it always seems to happen to 1 player at the start of the match
It’s me. I’m that one player.
