Yoda block glitch?

As far as Iden being “stronger” than Yoda I can’t say that I agee; I don’t feel that she is. Yoda’s mobility, used properly, is more than a match to contend with Idens alternate fire; he doesn’t need to block those blasts and in truth; one of the things the developers appear to be trying to get away from is simply block spamming. 

Remember two things to consider here: 1.) balanced gameplay means you’re not always going to get 100% movie reflection of the characters. There are a lot of Hero & Villain character attributes that don’t line up wit the Star Wars cannon and that’s mainly because you have to balance the gameplay. 2.) you have to approach it with an experienced user perspective. Every character should be built to the degree of expert use effectiveness. Characters should never be buffed or nerfed simply to compensate for player style. 

EA / Dice have been doing far too much of that. Making character changes that result in game logics that aren’t balanced from an overall gameplay perspective. 

It would not be balanced gameplay to say “Yoda is a Jedi master therefore should be stronger than Iden” ... well if that were the case it would result in Yoda scoring kills on Iden all the time and with too little effort. That’s not balanced.

the concept here should be that every characters positive and negative attributes should not only complement each other but should complement every player on the field. 

Making Yoda able to deflect explosives means that 3 of the villain characters are effectively useless against him, even with experienced players (Bosk, Iden, Fett). 

Building a game so that certain characters are only effectively defeated by specific opponent characters doesn’t make for balanced gameplay it does the exact opposite.
