Heroes vs. VillainsWhat is your time zone? EST (IET) - GMT - 5:30Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Use Luke's push or crylo's freeze on a Blaster hero, particularly Lando and Chewie.What happens when the bug occurs? Thek keep shooting as they fly through the air or are frozen, etcWhat do you expect to see? Them to stop shooting for the duration.Please select your region North AmericaAMD or Nvidia Model Number When blaster users get hit by Luke's force push or repulse, they keep shooting and they are pushed away and recovering.Use crylo's Freeze and they can still shoot while frozen.

Before, no attack or defense action could be performed if the hero/villain was being tossed around, frozen/paralyzed, or getting up.Then July patch came and these actions could be performed in almost every situation, with a few exceptions like the beginning of kylo's freeze or during the damage taking phase of Vader's choke.With the most recent patch it was changed to only work if the hero/villain is recovering from forced movement or paralysis and is touching the groundI'm still unsure what has happened to abilities which would already allow units to shoot when under its effects since before the broken July's patch, as I rarely play as Blaster Heroes/Villains, and when I do I usually forget I can shoot during some effects.As I added before this isn't restricted to shooting, saber heroes can block in the same situations.TBH, I don't know if this is bad. I like the idea of being already able to shoot or block when your feet is touching the ground and you're recovering from a move, but that makes some combos far harder to perform then when heroes could only shoot or block when standing up already free of any effects or recovery animations

Exactly same problems on pc.This needs hotfix! Also Palpatine can use lightning attacks ''in the air''

This is important and needs fixed quickly. Basically all the blaster heroes can still shoot while frozen or immobilized. Palpatine might be able to still shock too, don't recall.

Happened to me with Vader's force choke. Took damage from Chewie and Finn during separate force chokes. It kind of felt like it was automatic damage...I don't know if the opposing player was even pulling the trigger or aiming at me since I snuck up on them from behind and choked them. But the blaster shot sounds and damage were immediate and constant and at a consistent rate.

There is a huge Bug for Blaster Heroes atm. I don't Know if its also for Troopers.
If you get pushed away as Blasterhero you can still shoot. Also if you lie on the Ground.
If Kylo freezes a blasterhero he can also shoot after maybe 3 seconds.
I Hope for a fix soon, because this is really Gamebreaking.

Hi @DarthFDG

It's most likely connected with this issue, so I will add your example to the case.
