**Platform, device version and operating system:** PC/Android

**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened:**  
When pasting a team from a player who has fewer champion talents unlocked than you, any talents on the team that show up as “Any” get unselected in your class. Instead of removing talents, I would expect it to keep whatever was selected before.  
It’s kind of hard to explain, read steps to reproduce.

**How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?**  
It’s been happening for a while, presumably since the team sharing was introduced.

**Steps to make it happen again**

Here’s my Stormcaller talent tree at the start, I unlocked and picked the first 4 talents:

Here is the team I am copying:

Now if I look at my Stormcaller talent tree:

Taking this team to a battle and looking at the hero’s talents confirms that my previously selected talents have been unselected, I don’t have Purification, Wind Speed or Fey Vengeance, which is what I previously had selected.

Not sure if this is a bug or a feature. If this is the intended behavior, I would expect the talent to say “None” in the team instead of “Any”. As is, it’s a bit of an issue, especially since talents are per class and apply in any team that uses it and there’s no indication that a talent has been unselected when pasting.

The 7 single digit numbers are the selected talents. When you copy a code with 0’s in it, your talents get unselected

I think the request was that 0’s should not reset talents that are already earned and selected. I agree.

Yes ideally it should work that way. I was just explaining why the talents got unselected

FYI, if you remove _all_ of the talent codes (or change them _all_ to zero), your talents will be “as they were before”, with none being changed. That is one of the things I do when storing/sharing codes that don’t require a specific talent set (that wouldn’t normally be set).

Probably for the best, yeah. I was kinda using this as a “feature” to completely unset some talents to showcase earlier leveled versions of the class without just doing “pick the most useless talent in the tier instead of the best one”… but I guess that works well enough when I need to. If it has to be either the 0’s overwriting with a blank slot or just leaving whatever was there before, I’d prefer they left existing talents in place. (Although -1 as a talent code to unset the talent would still be appreciated)
