Bugged Leaver Status

Hi

I was queued in a ranked Storm League lobby for Heroes of the Storm when I decided to queue up as ‘Gall’ with another player as 'Cho". Since there was only 1 slot remaining to be picked, Cho’gall could not be locked in until the last pick and nobody else had a hero locked in. The game decided to boot me from the lobby and deem me a leaver, putting me in low priority and erasing 500 rank points.

I was not a leaver, nor was I inactive in the lobby. I feel that my low priority status should be reversed and my rank points refunded as this appears to be a bug that has put me in this spot.

Thank you

That’s not a bug. If someone selects a hero on your round and you do not change from Cho’gall you count as a leaver. You can’t select 3 heroes in one round. Cho’gall is 2 heroes.

Blizzard response to the same issue below.

The only way to avoid this is to lock Cho’gall simultaneously in the draft, and if you can’t do that you have to change the heroes you are going to play.

That is ridiculous. Oh well I guess.
