Emote menu pop up glitch ruining game

Multiple times I’ve had the emote menu just pop up on my screen for no reason and refuse to go away, making the game unplayable. This has happened to me a few times over the last couple of weeks and means that I have to just leave the game because I can’t do anything - so I keep getting banned from comp for being a ‘leaver’ even though my game is glitching and it’s not my fault. Auto-ban so there’s no option to just go back in and rejoin the game.
This is my first time playing Overwatch in about a week, 2 minutes into my first game I’m glitched out of the round and banned.
