@PsyhiX69this is not a bug, the game is intended to work like that, it is just random and you are being unlucky for not getting the first place. The only solution you have is:
- Playing with a premade party, so they know you want octane and they do not take him
- Playing duos, then the possibilities of the other teammates taking octane are lower
- Typing in the chat to your random mates and asking them friendly to allow you to take Octane

I do not think this is a bug, they cannot give you always the chance to take your legend since other players want to play it too

@PsyhiX69 That's working as intended.

Moved it out from bug report forum.

@PsyhiX69 uncheck the 'Fill teammate' option to get 100% guaranteed pick for your legend. Or learn some other legend to not feel entitled. Leaving because you didn't get your main is so petty.
