I was able to reproduce the bug exactly like it happened in the last video I posted on this thread. I can't come with this footage now, but I'll whenever I get some time to edit it.
Like it happened last time, I was blocking with Rey. Suddenly Vader Chokes me, but I'm able to block his choke in the split time where I don't enter the being choked state, but I take damage and have my speed reduced (hearing the choke sounds too) as if I was being fully choked. In this buggy state, whenever you release the blocking button, you'll resume the choking state (this bug is here with us for a long time too) even if vader is already free and the damage taken is already non existant.
However, both times I dashed right after releasing the blocking button, and BOTH times I got my blocking disabled. I can't make a paralell to cases of this BUG with other heroes abilities, but by experiencing the same situation with Vader's choke I'm sure it can be reproduced at least by this case.
So I think the most important message to pass to the team is this: Get Rey, go fight Vader, try to reproduce the situation where Vader tries to choke and rey is able to block the choke but still get some of its effects like slowness and damage taking. When in this state, as soon as these other effects wear out, release the blocking button and immediately after it do a dash anywhere. It should give you the Unable to Block State. I hope this helps to finally get rid of this long standing and very annoying BUG.

Hey @RogueZeroRendar
Thanks! I think your great description of how to reproduce this bug is more than enough. I'm sending the additional information to our specialists right now 🙂
Cheers!

I have some news on this. I've recently allowed Splitscreen on PC to make some tests (no idea why DICE hides the splitscreen menu on the PC version), and my method to reproduce this bug actually works. It's a bit hard, but I've managed to do it several times yesterday, I'll post the video on this later this week (maybe today if I get the time).
I got Rey as player 1 and Vader as player 2. Both facing each other. Vader chokes. Rey must block in the window of time between a successful block of the choke and a successful hit of the choke. If done correctly, and the blocking button keeps pressed, Rey shall start taking choke damage, gets her speed slowed, but is still able to walk and keep blocking. Now comes the hardest part. If the blocking button is simply released, Rey resumes the choking animation and floats in the air as if she had just been hit by the choke. However, if she dashes away in a specific time during the choke damage, she ignores the choking animation and loses the ability to block.
I managed to do this several times yesterday, so I'm sure the devs can achieve this with some focus. It may be hard to get the exact time, but with some trial and error through a few attempts I'm sure it's doable.
