Overwatch doesn't lock my hero when starting game

I know I’m not the only one with this issue. I’ll briefly explain the issue below:

Game starts and I either flex or pick whatever character I want or my team does first. Rest of my team picks their heroes and the timer counts down. When the timer stops I don’t spawn but go back to the hero select screen and I have to re-select my hero. On a few occasions I’ve had my first pick hero stolen from me because of this. I also waited till the timer gets down to below 5 and pick and it still does it. Happens with any hero I pick and mostly about 8/10 times.

My question is simply this: Is this some kind of built in feature of OW saying that “Pick a different hero for the comp you have” Or is just a small glitch in the game?

Edit: Sorry i meant to put this in bug report but for whatever reason it took me back to Tech support.

The fix is still on PTR:

BUG FIXES

General

  • Fixed a bug that could cause players who have selected a hero during the Hero Select Phase to have their hero deselected when the Setup Phase begins.
