Chogal Leaver Penalty - Ranked

[Shapeshifter-21359]

You weren’t innocent, and I didn’t patronize anyone. You broke the draft rules by having an invalid hero selection when your timer reached 0.

Preselecting a hero does not guarantee you get that hero. Only locking a hero does.
Cho’Gall is not a valid draft selection once someone on your round picks anything else than Cho and Gall.
Even if it’s at the very last second.

There is no “issue” or bug. See the Blizzard response on this topic below (a topic that gets repeated almost weekly):

Cho’Gall can only be selected when you have two picks available in the same round. Since you both could not lock in Cho’gall, and you didn’t have another double pick round available, he is no longer a valid Hero selection.

Additionally, if you are hovering or pre-selecting a Hero that is not available to be locked in (for example in this case or if they are banned or already selected) when the timer runs out, the draft is ended and leaver penalties are given.
