Models not loading

Bug Report
1

I was playing Mystery Heroes competitive mode. It was Blizzard World. Round 1 we were defending, everything was fine.
Then starting round 2 I noticed that some of the friendly heroe models did not load, instead only floaty blue orbs were there. After I died, my own model also did not load so my screen was just the UI elements. Also the entire enemy team was only red orbs. I was Mercy and could not even see the beam, but I could see the UI showing who I am healing. After someone died some of the previously not loaded models loaded in but others disappeared.

I left the match and then rejoined and then it was fixed.
This was really crazy. I never had anything like this before. (well a few times in OW1 at game start models did not load for a few seconds on high ping but nothing like this)
I did not have any other issues during the game, no noticable lag or glitches etc.

Nearly exact same happened to me this week, Competitive Mystery Heroes and only after the Round 1 (Defending) ended. Once the Attack phase began it was immediately disorienting, taking damage without any enemy visible on the screen, I don’t think even projectile animations were visible. Only difference: it happened in Paraíso (both Hybrid though). Also, I didn’t attempt to leave the match and rejoin, but did check the Replay afterwards and everything was loading through it (a sad spectacle to see me play like a headless chicken).
