Tried to download a replay of a higher-level player to review and see what he does that I don't. Every match he plays with an Apollo instantly crashes the game when loading the replay with this error message.
I had this bug happen in a game where I used apollo ult and got stunned by paige ult. I had teammates asking why I was Apollo which was funny, however, I do feel like not only not having your normal ult is a big downside, this could cause issues with players realising who this character even is.
I don't really find this to be cheating. Valve games have typically always given access to an FOV slider, and I expect they will for this game too. Just because the community is doing it before Valve's implemented it doesn't mean it's cheating.
