Apollo Ult sometimes locks my screen

[natjoshua.lai]

Not sure what's happening, maybe it's some interaction with getting hit by a root or a stun while ulting as Apollo;

There are 3 effects:

1. Releasing the Ult does not move Apollo.
2. As a result, the Ult ends up doing no damage.
3. After control is regained, the Apollo player cannot look around (mouse control is locked/fixed and cannot be moved).

WASD still works fine, have not been able to test as the camera locking often results in a quick death afterwards.
- The issue is resolved after respawning.

Edit: The replay shows me getting stunned, although on my client I saw the ult go off. Might be a different issue.
The camera locking issue however, still persists.

something like this has happened to me a few times, i think it's when apollo gets slept/ccd out of his ult on a specific frame

the mouse stays frozen for a few seconds like he's still locked into his ult animation but i'm able to move/shoot/use abilities. ofc it usually results in getting killed

I had this same issue in a game twice. I was stunned out of ultimate and couldn't move my cursor.

Extremely reproducible. First video is in practice range, next two are in a match. (twice by walker stomp, once by curse)

I don't think its a specific frame since I am seen holding the ult waiting for the walker stomp and it still happens.

From these clips what I believe is happening is that when you get cursed or walker stunned while doing the apollo ultimate the game thinks that it went through and locks you into the camera lockdown of the ultimate without the ultimate actually going through. This lockdown then gets lifted by a failsafe that unlocks your camera movement after a set amount of time which in this case seems to be exactly 10 seconds.
