Unable to Quick Melee

Starting in the middle of a game yesterday, my quick melee suddenly stopped working. I have it mapped to R3 (PlayStation 5), so I tried re-mapping it to a different button in case my right stick was broken. Not only does quick melee still not work on any other button, but whatever I mapped to R3 (crouch, ult, etc) all worked completely fine. This error is in all game modes I’ve played, QP/Comp/Practice Range.

I’m actually able to still melee as six characters: D.va, Doomfist, Torb, Pharah, Echo, and Moira. All other characters will not quick melee, and some of them have a graphical glitch where their left arm does not appear (for example, Winston and Roadhog no longer have their left arms when moving. Characters such as Zenyatta or Zarya still have both arms due to their standard view when not moving, but are still unable to melee). The aforementioned six characters who can still quick melee are all mapped to R3, as are the characters who can’t. It is also universally mapped to all characters.

Any ideas what could be causing this? The issue has persisted today. I even uninstalled the game data and redownloaded everything, as well as updated it to the latest version, but nothing has changed.

Did you ever figure out the problem?

I had this problem, and it was solved by resetting binds/settings (reinstalling the game does not do this). It probably has something to do with Overwatch 1 binds carrying over.
