Videos Showing Kylo Ren Causes the Blocking Bug
Hi,
I jumped into Hero modes today and it took a while, but I saw what people were complaining about in that you are unable to block frequently. Frequenting Showdown far more than HvV, I wondered why it did not happen too often until I was both victim to it and caused it. The common factor: Kylo Ren.
At first I only experienced it as Obi-wan and victimized another Obi-wan, causing him to obviously lose his block. I was not correct assuming it was our 2 newest heroes.
I took to Arcade and checked it out. In the first video, you'll see the first Freeze does nothing, but the second disables block (note Luke's stamina bar for proof).

It doesn't seem to be limited to Freeze, but Pull as well.

I swapped over to Vader to find his Choke did not cause it after a few tries. Quick video showing one of them:

I asked a friend who was with me playing and he remembers the issues happening for him when Kylo was present. Testimonials are not as strong as video, but it's evidence nonetheless.
TL;DR: Kylo causes a lot of these issues. DICE, seriously, thank you for the improved communication, but you need to do way better playtesting. This kind of stuff is really bad.

Well, they'll still exist.
But visit the Rogue Bros Channel, there we document many BUGs and possible workarounds for them. There's also gameplay and other videos related to EA's Star Wars Battlefront (I & II)
Complying with your video. Now kylo can trigger the disabled block bug in his enemies as a hidden feature. Kylo's Mega Buff

Nice man, thank you for taking it a step further.
Have you or anyone else found other triggers?

It is good to know of a workaround until this gets patched.
Triggering Kylo's Freeze Half Effect BUG ( https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Half-Effect-BUG-Maul-s-Choke-Hold-Kylo-s-Freeze-Vader-s-Choke/td-p/7288947 ), which used to delay the freeze efect for as long as you remained blocking, now doesn't do that anymore: it triggers the Disabled Block BUG ( https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Disabled-Block-BUG/td-p/6762835 ).
The original method I knew to trigger this bug on purpose was to allow yourself to be caught in Vader's Choke Half-Effect BUG ( same link to Kylo's Freeze Half-Effect BUG ) and then dodge while taking damage. It wasn't an 100% method, but it worked several times.
There are others too that I don't know how they happen.
Yes, I show that fixing method in this video from April which I made to help devs fix it. They are aware of it, since before April 2018, but they stopped acknowledging anything on this BUG prior to my report back in April.
Well, they'll still exist.

Alright, posted stuff on the Answers HQ page.

Once it clears, it seems to never come back until you respawn.

Ignoring in the sense they haven't acknowledged its existence for sure, but I'm sure it's being looked at. There are enough daily threads about it.

The team are aware it exists and is present in the game.
I've never seen it except in this patch. Only the classic "gotta drain stamina real quick" bug.
Glad to hear, thank you for your response.

I never bothered with it because it doesn't disrupt gameplay that much, it's just a visual glitch. But it's there since launch, if not, since very early, I discovered it almost together with the real and infamous disabled block bug

Got a video by chance? I've had no negative experiences yet with Choke Hold.
And do you know if you were Frozen before the Choke Hold?
Xbox One GT: Atreus215
Lol you just be new here
And I've lost block with all of the light side characters too
Anakin's and Luke's seem to go out every few minutes in HvV... Really annoying! Less in GA
Yeah you got Frozen first, check @RogueZeroRendar 's comments here how the first Freeze "marks" you for the glitch. It all seems to start because of Kylo.
Got an acknowledgement here soooo... o/

That seems tied to him getting electric-stunned out of the ability. If anyone has good footage of it, I'd welcome it here.
