For the past, probably 3 months, mystery heroes has been giving you the same character multiple times in a row, multiple times in a match. I’ve been waiting for it to fix itself but I just played a game where the same person got Bastion THREE times in a row and I got wrecking ball twice in a row. And no, neither I nor the Bastion killed ourselves hence giving us the character again. All were deaths from enemies. What gives Blizzard?? Is mystery heroes random or what?

Mystery Heroes has been rigged for years now. The mode decides which team gets the good picks. So winning is just luck-based, matchmaking RNG bs.

From what I understand is that there is a bug where you literally just keep getting the same hero over and over, it happened to me as Reaper one match and Zarya another and then Hanzo in yet another. It didn’t matter how many times I died but I just got the same character all match. It’s one thing to get a character multiple times in a single match but when it never switches you know it’s a bug and not intended.
Oh wait I forgot, it’s never a bug, it’s a new feature.
That’s a joke in case it goes over heads.

Yeah we have been spamming this on bug forums but its still an issue. I hate respawning as Zen over and over, I suck with him, let me die
It aint a bug, its intentional.

Random would not truly be random if it didn’t have the possibility to give you the same hero back to back! Its still random, especially for a game mode where you don’t expect that to happen.

i kept getting zen and lucio, the worst heroes in history of all heroes in history of all games…it is not random.
MH isn’t true random. 
It’s artificial random.
Same patch that added Junkertown disabled the possibility of respawning as the same hero.
I was disappointed to learn this, but it actually is a bug to respawn as who you just were assuming no suicide. The only other option is the devs axed that rule and forgot to add it in the patch notes.
Our rotting lord and savior Rngesus works in mysterious ways!
But don’t speak such blasphemy! Or you will be condemned to symm for eternity against triple pharmercy!
Getting the same crappy pick again multiple times, isn’t random. Same goes for when the enemy team gets the same strong pick again. Mystery Heroes should be cycling through characters in order depending on who gets what first. For example, if you start with Soldier, your picks after that cycle after him.
That way, no one would get the sane picks again, and winning would be possible instead of being random chance.
You have uttered a taboo word in the realm of Rngesus! Begone heretic!!
To be fair it’s not called ‘Random Heroes’
Ya can sneak turrets on most high terrain, and Pharah will usually blow herself up to get rid of em or you scare off pocketbot 3000.
I live on Console, where everyone thinks Pharah’s our God but Ashe and McCree are actually the highest picked DPS.
I’ve lived 2-3 years dealing with Pharmercy without ranged heroes, it doesn’t scare me anymore.
-screeches and proceeds to throw endless black cats at you-
Hence why its long been referred to as misery heroes
I’m a walking bad luck charm. That doesn’t scare me either.
(; ; O_O)> A demon!!!
Was there some kinda dev response saying this? I never saw any such thing in patch notes
You’re not being delusional. Ever since at least a month or two ago, I’ve been getting the same hero after dying at a much higher rate than usual. I never get mercy twice in a row, but I had her 3 times in a row for 2 games yesterday. It’s not just mercy; it seems consistent.
Did someone say competitive mystery heroes?
