What were you doing when the issue occurred? E.g. respawning a squad mate at a beacon, using an ability, a squad mate left the game. cancelling a br match then queueing for arenas
Did your squad mates also experience the issue? Yes
How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? 1
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm)
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Minor impact to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? If you queue for a BR match then you immediately cancel the queue and then queue for arenas, you get put into a br game, even though the br match hasn't started or anything. It's been happening with other modes since season 1.
What should be happening instead? queue me in for what i actually queue.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? queue for br, immediately cancel then queue for arena. You will get queued for br, not arenas, not sure if it's 100% proc rate but it happens quite often.

If you queue for a BR match then you immediately cancel the queue and then queue for arenas, you get put into a br game, even though the br match hasn't started or anything. It's been happening with other modes since season 1.

Since season 0 actually. At this stage it's one of those quirks of the matchmaker, give yourself a few seconds after choosing a mode to start queueing.

This is usual behaviour, the matchmaker has a delay after canceling.

 

That said, if you start queueing, cancel and requeue again during that delay, you were never considered to have left the queue (despite the new gamemode you chose). It's not consistent if it affects the squad where you were planned to be in.

@Throhjen I just started the game, chose Arenas and it put me right into BR.
