Platform:Microsoft XBOX One
What is your issue related to? General
Summarize your bug When you die in Hero’s vs. Villains, if you hit the A button, you immediately get locked out of your current character. At the top of the screen it’s says “starting as a random character”......leaving you absolutely no choice but to choose another one (or just let the timer count down and let the game choose one randomly for you). This is easily the worst bug in the game, as it totally changes the tide of a battle by forcing you to choose characters that you don’t want to use, resulting in more deaths. Prior to this bug, if you hit the A button after dying, you would merely go to the characters page and just stay on your character.....allowing you to continue playing as them if you didn’t actually want to change. It wouldn’t lock you out of playing that character. Please fix. It’s awful.
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? MCCARNEY
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
Can you tell us the date (MM/DD/YYYY) that you saw the bug? It started occurring with the large update with the tanks (either late June or early July 2019)
What time did you see the bug? (HH:MM AM/PM) All hours of every day since the update
In what game mode did the bug occur? Heroes vs. Villains
What is your time zone?
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Just go to hero’s vs villains, pick a character, let someone kill you and then tap A. Hitting A repeatedly will all but guarantee it will happen. P.S. when games are tense and someone dies, it’s almost a gut reaction to hit A to try and get in the game faster. So, it happens all the time.
What happens when the bug occurs? When you die in Hero’s vs. Villains, if you hit the A button, you immediately get locked out of your current character.

What do you expect to see? I’d like to see it go back to Prior to this bug, where if you hit the A button after dying, you would merely go to the characters page and just stay on your character.....allowing you to continue playing as them if you didn’t actually want to change. It wouldn’t lock you out of playing your current character.

AMD or Nvidia Model Number
If necessary I can provide video of it happening
I have this problem as well on PS4, even if you remove the selection on the current character they stay greyed out.

Unfortunately, you have to be very fast when you want to change characters. Press A as soon as the option comes up, press B immediately on the selection screen. Has to be done within a couple of seconds, otherwise you're forced into playing the character again. You get to be good at it after a while. Definitely not working as intended though, it we be nice if the dev team could take a look at it and add it to the bug pile.
