Game Freezes When Using Ultimate as Haze Hero in Public Matches

When playing Deadlock and selecting the hero Haze, using their ultimate ability in public matches (whether in team fights or 1v1) causes the game to freeze for up to 10 seconds. During this freeze, the player is left vulnerable to attacks and can be easily killed while standing in place. Once the freeze ends (after 5-10 seconds), the game continues without any further issues.
Notably, this bug does not occur in lobby/sandbox modes and cannot be reproduced outside of public matches.
Issue is appeared in the latest patch.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Enter a public match (ranked or unranked).
  2. Select the hero Haze.
  3. Engage in combat (either in 1v1 or team fight scenarios).
  4. Use the ultimate ability during combat.
  5. Observe the freeze for 5-10 seconds. The game then resumes as normal after the freeze.
Expected Result:
The ultimate ability should be executed smoothly during public matches without causing the game to freeze.

Actual Result:
The game freezes for 5-10 seconds when using the ultimate in public matches, leaving the player vulnerable to enemy attacks.

Frequency:
100% of the time during public matches, in both team fights and 1v1 scenarios.

Unable to Reproduce In:
The issue cannot be reproduced in lobby/sandbox modes, where the ultimate works without any lag or freezing.

Impact:
High. The freezing severely affects gameplay, giving opponents an unfair advantage and potentially leading to the player's death during the freeze.

Additional Information:

  • Occurs during both team fights and 1v1 situations in public matches.
  • Does not occur in lobby or sandbox modes.
