Infantry melee vs saber heroes is BROKEN

Product: Star Wars Battlefront II
Platform:PC
What is your issue related to? General
Summarize your bug AI Infantry will now melee saber heroes when close, that's fine, but their goofy little elbow attack STUNS HEROES and interrupts their attacks. But if I hit them with my LIGHTSABER does it interrupt their elbow? NOPE! The Elbow is mightier than the Lightsaber apparently. Fix please. Its already bad enough that saber heroes have every disadvantage at range, but they now have a disadvantage at point blank too. This is unacceptably obtuse.
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? xPathofChaosx
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Can you tell us the date (MM/DD/YYYY) that you saw the bug? 02/15/20
What time did you see the bug? (HH:MM AM/PM) 11:00am
In what game mode did the bug occur? Galactic Assault
What is your time zone? EST (IET) - GMT - 5:30
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play any mode with a saber hero and get elbowed out of your abilities, saber swings, etc to the amusement of your assailants.
What happens when the bug occurs? AI Infantry uses elbow melee, saber hero attacks and abilities of every kind are cancelled.
What do you expect to see? No stuns or cancels from elbow melee, add a stun to saber attacks vs. regular infantry and reinforcements that interrupts THEIR abilities and THEIR attacks instead. Saber heroes need an advantage up close because they have zero advantage at range.

    Thank you for reading my report! Unfortunately, I neither have the equipment nor the know-how to provide you a video. Where would I even start? lol 

    The stun created by the elbow is very brief but if a saber hero is in the middle of a  saber swing or even just about to unleash an ability, the elbow hit will cancel it.

    It's kinda like how when you melee another infantry as an infantryman and for a half a second the guy you elbowed can't shoot at you, except now it happens to saber heroes which I'm positive is unintended. 

    God forbid you, a saber hero, end up at point blank in a small crowd (which should be ideal circumstances) instead you get elbowed to death lol which is hilarious maybe twice before it becomes intolerable 

    Oh! Almost forgot:

    @xPathofChaosx 

    Hello there! 🙌

    Don't worry mate. This stagger problem is not only for some heroes but for all of us.

    (I found this post on reddit. Ouch! Grievous is really broken now! And F8RGE responded it.)

    https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsBattlefront/comments/f6lk1d/showcase_of_how_broken_grievous_is_none_of_his/

    "This should be fixed in the next update" by F8RGE

    Yes! Please!

    @EA_Atic 

    I know, you know it. 😳

    This problem caused many things so please look into it.

    (For example, some ability is easily stopped now as you can see above.)

    Hey thanks for that reddit link! This video perfectly showcases my issue. I'm really glad F8rge is already aware of it / on it and I'm looking forward to the correction.

    And you're right, its ALL saber heroes. I had the same issue with Anakin, Kylo Ren, Darth Maul, etc etc etc.
