Hi, I just had a bug in Stadium Draft (Ranked) on PC.
The enemy team picked , Soldier: 76, but my team was still able to pick him too. From what I know, Stadium Draft should prevent duplicate heroes across teams.
Details:
- Hero: Soldier: 76
- Mode: Stadium Draft (Ranked)
- Date/Time: August 28, 2025 – 23:30 (GMT+3)
- Platform: PC
Both teams having the same hero in Draft mode seems unintended.

The no mirrors restriction was removed from drafts as of a couple of hours ago.
I have two Mercy players on the team against me

I JUST played a game in stadium and while it looked like myself and the support on the other team could both be kiri, it booted me to juno once the game started, so it’s a bit bugged
Just had the same thing happen.
- Enemy DPS Picked soldier first
- Our team picked 2 characters
- Enemy soldier that picked first left the match
- Next enemy pick was a soldier
- After the draft the other player came back and they had 2 soldiers
We played the match against 2 soldiers.

Just had the same thing happen.
Double Moira pick at the same time for the enemy team
One player looked to be booted and then rejoined as a second moira.
they were able to build and play normally.

Same thing just happened to me. Was able to draft Brig despite a member of the other team drafting Brig - it got locked in and wouldn’t let me change, then booted me to Juno as soon as my turn to draft was up 
We had 2 moiras … I tried to pick Kiri, but game was like, NOPE
I just versed 2 soldiers imma cry
Encountered enemy team with two junos. That duo aim locked is really not fun to go against.
They just need to get rid of the Draft function overall, even if they reverted back to mirror matches. It’s annoying and takes way too long pre-game and opens up the door for this double matches.
Just played against 2 Mercy’s and my team couldn’t do a single thing because they got a rez every single time.
This happened to me as well in the game I just was in: the opposing team had two Pharah players and it was an absolute nightmare.
I don’t understand why this hasn’t been corrected or addressed immediately, especially since this is plaguing a competitive game mode.

this probably means that it’s a reproducible bug that people are intentionally exploiting. fun radio silence from the dev team.
I experienced a bug in a recent game where I locked in Soldier: 76 during draft phase, but at the hero showcase section, my character changed to Mei, resulting in our team having two Mei. I confirmed with teammates that I had indeed locked in Soldier beforehand.

Just had a game, 2 pharahs, possibly 4 stacked with a mercy and Juno - openly gloating about bug abusing in Stadium Comp. Not nice to play against. Replay code: QF5X14, reported for cheating, I hope Blizzard actions against people openly abusing it.
Just had a game where the other team picked 2 76 and 2 mercy…. When will blizzard fix this… it’s literally cheating they abuse bug knowingly. It’s not fun and it’s a waste of time for people who got to face this nonsense!
