What should be happening instead? Legends can only craft banners with a support legend on their squad.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Unsure how to replicate, clearly an edge case is occurring in the game logic as this is does not always happen, but happens enough to assume that it is reproducible under the right circumstances.
I was spectating another player when I saw them craft on a team composed of Bangalore, Valkyrie, and Octane. Last I checked, none of those are support legends.
@jordanxc33 Just to let you know this isn't a bug as in Season 23, Respawn had made it possible to craft teammate's banners, (even without a Support member in the squad).
"Support Legends will still maintain access to extended supply bins (blue bins), however, in the spirit of support, banner crafting is no longer an exclusive class perk and instead will be accessible to all Legends." - Season 23 [From The Rift] Changelog
