So I've seen a few posts like this, and what I've noticed is that in all of them it always looks like folks are meleeing too early. If you slow the videos down, it looks as though the orb hasn't fully formed in that time, and it takes half a second or so to be "ready". So in that moment, you can't hit or shoot it. I don't think this is a bug, I think its as intended. To be clear, though, I'm not a dev so I am only assuming.
But also, how the heck are you lining up with where the orb is going to form and striking before it's even visible? :O

If this was intended it would not display the visual and audio response of hitting the soul. Also, there is an indicator that shows where the next soul will spawn.

Replicated this, very easy to do if you just properly time a melee while standing on the creep. No reason the hit confirm visuals and sounds should play over a soul and not claim it, especially in a 0 ping environment, and especially in server-authoritative replays where I've confirmed it as well.

I didn't say it wasn't visible. I said it wasn't fully formed.

there is 0 difference between these to think that the one on the left is not 'fully formed' and the one on the right is

as a yamato main, this happens all the time and is really frustrating. especially when laning against machine gun/laser beam heroes or even abrams.
please fix.

Yeah, it really doesn't make sense why someone with melee positioning of a soul should be at a disadvantage compared to fast-firing fast-projectile long-range guns. Even outside of balance reasons, it's clearly a visual bug at minimum.

there is a sound, so the soul must be taken away

After a lot of testing, I can say that soul orbs are actually claimable only after a very short delay (maybe about 0.1s) after it spawns/forms. This bug happens when you hit a soul orb after it spawned but before it is claimable. You can even reproduce the bug with guns. It is just much more noticeable with melee hits because of the sfx and vfx.
