To whom it may concern,

            I just bought The Lifeline Edition tonight and i discovered a bug. In the character selection at the first start of the game if I have the Guardian Angel Skin on for Lifeline and someone selects Lifeline, before it gives me the choice to select a character. It shows up as they own the skin which they dont. How I know this.... Is after the character selection, it shows the squads banner before it pulls up on the champions banner.... In the squads banner it shows thier default current skin that they have on for Lifeline and not the Guardian Angel skin that I have on her. This is a problem for me because I like to surprise my friends and I want to be the own to say I own the skin, because it entices ppl to choose lifeline because of the skin they do not own. I imagine this is a problem for Bloodhound too... 

      TY

When I start a game up and it’s time to choose a legend if I pick lifeline and my friend or teammate picks pathfinder it will show my skin for pathfinder not their skin for example my friend has a legendary skin for pathfinder but on my screen it will show my common skin for pathfinder not his skin now when we have picked our legends and it shows the stats like how many kills we got and that I then can see his skin so it’s only when I’m choosing a legend other teammates will have my skin.

i play along with my fiance and can confirm this. it dosnt matter what skin i choose, or she chooses. if the other person does not have that skin, the game displays the skin you have equipped...not the one they have equipped.

@EA_BlueberryBlazenSoldier23 same here. No matter what skin I try, the others always have it no matter what on the loading screen. In the actual game, for me, others have their own skins. Even my teammates which originally had my skins. I hope this gets patched lol

I have literally the same issue and even worse now everything got reseted to default. Skins/banners/frames/trackers/charms and pretty much everything we had set as our own liking was removed and made it all default and even worse after you put it all back togheter the game crashes and you just start all over. Frustrating issue!

[EA_David]

Hey, we're aware of the main issue, on the selection screen the game will show your skins rather than your team's. Once they're locked in and you get to the banner page the right skins should show, though. 

@Moarthe I think you have your own separate issue. Can I check what platform you're on? Did this only start with the 3.1 patch for you?

[BlazenSoldier23]

Yes that is correct, i believe though it only does it for the Lifeline/Bloodhound edition skins and not the others.

Same for me on Xbox.

When teammates picks there legend, it's the skin i have equipped that shows on the screen.
