Blocking animation/function does not work

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Select a blocking hero (or Boba Fett) at the beginning of a match, and press the left trigger.
What happens when the bug occurs? The blocking animation and function do not occur. For Boba Fett, the jet pack does not work.
What do you expect to see? The blocking animation and function should occur. For Boba Fett, the jet pack should be usable.
Please select your region North America
AMD or Nvidia Model Number

Occasionally when spawning in as a hero with a block ability, the blocking action is disabled. Pressing the left trigger does not perform a block animation. The issue also effects Boba Fett’s jet pack, making it unusable. 

The issue does not seem to effect any other actions mapped to the left trigger. I have tested using 2 different controllers and the issue persists. 

Respawning seems to fix the issue, but this is not practical in most game types.

    Hey @Luxovius

    Thank you for your report! Could you confirm that the problem still occurs after installing the latest Solo Season update? 🤔

    Cheers!

    Unfortunately the glitch still occasionally occurs after the update.

    This bug still occurs after the July update. Attempting to block will consume stamina, but the animation and block function occasionally do not work.

    I'm sorry to hear that @Luxovius ☹️

    In that case I'm going to send it up to our specialists again.

    Thanks for confirmation!

    This is soooooooooooooooooooo old, but hey! Better to remove features of the game like the aerial attack passing through blocks, rey's dash strike passing through blocks, and infinite dodges by very precisely timed presses, then fixing this right? And people keep sending new info here in several different posts, without realizing this is very old, and EA Staff accordingly treats anything as new stuff, rather then doing the research and joining same bug reports together. I'm tired of reposting this video, but here we go again:

    Mind you this video was done in april, to a BUG which was already a serious problem since release!

    At least this one can be fixed without the need to respawn or restart the game by completely filling the stamina gauge. Then blocking is back to normal.
