I just played a round as a neighbor where this bug happened multiple times, and I lost because of it. It's one of the most annoying bugs, and it's definitely not intended, as it's been stated by one of the tB members. You can save yourself by simply holding a chair. No teammates, no counterstrike, not even needing to throw it, just holding a chair. Please fix this bug in the next update, because it's not even uncommon that it happens - quite the opposite, actually; it happens almost EVERY TIME. My friend and I reported this already, but the post has been locked, and it was stated that it's an "intended feature," which makes me worry about it not getting fixed.
This NEVER happened before the Christmas update, and it seems like that this can occur on every platform. And if it was intended, I'm pretty sure this would've been listed in the patch notes.
