What were you doing when the issue occurred? E.g. respawning a squad mate at a beacon, using an ability, a squad mate left the game. Playing As Alter with a Void Nexus in play
Did your squad mates also experience the issue? Yes
How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? 0
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) Season 21
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Major impacts to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? The default prompt to cancel Alter’s Ultimate on controller is simply mapped to DPAD DOWN, and this remains active for the life of her Void Nexus. This is the same prompt used for saying Thank You and Your Welcome to teammates. With a Void Nexus in play, saying Thank You or Your Welcome also triggers the Destroy action, often wasting her Ultimate entirely
What should be happening instead? Alter should say Thank You / Your Welcome as a priority over destroying her Ultimate
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Place a Void Nexus as Alter. Ping an item on the floor and have a teammate pick it up. Have the teammate press “Thank You”. Press DPAD DOWN as Alter to say “You’re Welcome” when the prompt appears.

‌

Although this issue is likely bug, having Alter’s Ultimate destroyable at any point is a liability in itself.

In an ideal world, the prompt would only appear when Alter is looking at her Void Nexus in the same way the prompt to use it also appears.
