Consistent Party Lobby Crash, just add 1 friend and 2 Sinclairs

When playing in the Hideout in a party, you can consistently force a complete game crash for everyone in the party if you follow these simple steps.

1: Have two people in the party pick Sinclair. It does not have to be you, just two people in the hideout have to be Sinclair.
2: Have one Sinclair switch teams so that both Sinclairs are on separate teams.
3: Have one Sinclair use Audience Participation on the other Sinclair. I'm unsure if this takes effect with just doing this once as when I tested it we ended up using it 3-5 times. You can optionally have both Sinclairs use it on each other, it does not matter, the result will be the same.
4: Wait out Sinclair's Audience Participation Timer. After the timer runs out, you should note that the Sinclair that used Audience Participation (or both if both did so) are still purple indicating they have an Ult copied when they should not.
5: Have the Sinclair that used Audience Participation (or just one of them if both used it) open the Hero Select menu and switch to a different Hero.

This process should result in every player in the party to immediately crash to desktop, shutting the game down. It's not dependent on picking a certain hero during step 5, any hero should do. I did not test if step 4 is necessary, I've only tested with letting the timer run out, however I would not be surprised if it was simply a crash that was forced by Sinclair copying another Sinclair's ultimate and then needing to reset that Sinclair's now copied yet standard ability.

I can definitely see this as being an issue if duplicate heroes is ever something that gets added into actual matches, so I'm happy to have stumbled face first into it while enjoying the look of the rabbit models.
