ability buttons stop working

I'm also having this issue and it seems like it's happening to us because we have custom ability keybinds set. It's happening to me a couple times a game and leaving/rejoining fixes it.

Awful quality recording, but here's mine doing the same key animation but no cast for heal I have bound to Q

It happened again later in the same game to quantum entanglement on E, so it's not about which ability or the key. The only thing in common I noticed between them was that both times I died with that ability on cooldown, and then couldn't use it after respawning.

Oh, also the first time this happened for me was last Friday (8/22) and I played a couple games Monday (8/18) with no issues.

this is happening to me as well almost every game. leaving the game and reconnecting fixes it. the icon is literally being pressed as u can see in my video as well so it's not an input problem. match id in video is 39682640.

also happened to me in match id:39695648 i also had another glitch in this same game where it would spam my 2 ability as soon as it refreshed without me pressing anything. (also lost this game because i couldn't leave and rejoin to fix because someone abandoned so leaving meant i couldnt reconnect)

btw this problem still accure. i had 2 games on wraith and i have this problem 4 times
do you guys use mouse wheel
 
also my settings for ability keys removed aftrer game restart. That is happening randomly idn how to avoid it
if you haven't tried it yet, i hit "reset all" in the settings for keybinds and then set new custom keybinds. the game now remembers my keybinds properly

i was sceptical it would work, but there were a few people who've been playing deadlock for months like me who said that it would fix the issue. and it did

now, if only they'd fix a different and persistent bug: my custom keybinds randomly break after death, and only reconnecting to the game fixes it. unsticking the hero doesn't work. hitting the button repeatedly simply doesn't cast the spell any more
 
I now think this has to do with getting silenced by Mina's ult and spamming an ability during it then the ability is locked/bugged.
 
As many have posted this used to also happen to me on bebop because my keybinds clashed with all hero keybinds. My hook was on capslock key where as on all heroes capslock was for ability 1. Same for uppercut, on bebop it was on 3. Randomly during game these abilities stopped working and restarting only fixed it for a while and it would reappear.

The only solution I found was to remap all hero keys to the same abilities as bebop. since I'm a disgusting, filthy, 1 trick bebop player. it works fine for me.
