I can’t play mad Maggie in arenas

I used to play mad Maggie 24:7 in arenas ranked until they removed arenas entirely, now that they have brought it back, I can’t choose Mad Maggie without apex crashing me and all of my teammates as soon as the character selection animation is almost over, more specifically when her ball hits the screen and explodes, my friends have solo queued and never had this problem with any other Maggie. Please help, I don’t want to sabotage the first round of every game just to play my favorite character.
