Stuck as Frog

[Woolmedley]

I got stuck as the frog in game as Calico after respawning. I couldn't hit unstuck or anything. I was able to ride ziplines, use abilities, etc. But I was permanently stuck as the frog, I think from magicians ability?

It's from the magician's hero ability. It's bugged right now.

Pathetic, pathetic flawed little man.

This is not a bug, you'll need to find a princess to kiss you

Magician turns you into a rabbit, not a frog.

On the other hand, a while ago they announced that when a player is caught cheating and gets banned for it, if the player is in a match when the ban happens it will give all the other players a choice to vote on either ending the game early or turning the cheating player into a frog for the rest of the round. So of course we all think you cheated if you report that you were a frog for the round.

Shit, Valve should never have advertised that they turn cheaters into frogs (well, not Valve, but the tuber content shills), it should have been under a NDA so forums would populate with confused cheaters lmao.

This is an actual bug that happens. Notice that their banner isn't a frog, it's normal Calico. This happens rarely when you get hit by Magician's ability and it bugs out lasting forever.

Same issue happened with my friend in a match last night. ID: 26337102. He was also playing as Calico when it occurred 7 mins into the game. Nothing he tried would let him return to normal. The effect persisted between deaths, we thought maybe killing the enemy magician would undo it but that did not work. My friend tried leaving and rejoining the match, restarting his game nothing worked.

I’ve attached two videos: Vid 1 shows the moment he died, which triggered the bug. Vid 2 shows what happened when he re spawned.

To clarify, he is not a cheater. Checking his past matches will confirm this (he’s consistently the worst player on the team), and there were no cheat detection vote alerts that came up. While in the frog state, he could use all his spells and items except for his “1” spirit cat ability, and his shooting was a bit off, with bullets only landing accurately when he was jumping and shooting.

Surprised we still managed to get a win even with him as a frog.
