Where is your proof that the majority of players agreed that his ability to block explosives is overpowered?
I can argue against that. Let’s take Darth Vader for example. He is my main on the dark side. In a 1v1 situation, Darth Vader can walk up to blaster heroes with little to no tolerance. He can walk up to Finn with zero tolerance because Finn has no block breaking abilities. The only way for Finn to damage and or defeat Vader is if Vader drops his block to swing his lightsaber, runs out of stamina, jumps, dodges or if Finn gets behind him. Same goes for Han Solo, Lando, Chewbacca and Leia. In terms of a 1v1 scenario, Vader can walk up to them with little tolerance, provided he avoids Han’s ‘Detonite Charge’ and ‘Shoulder Charge’, Lando’s stun, Chewbacca’s stun and ‘Ground Slam’ and Leia’s secondary fire (although Chewbacca is the worst because he does damage through Vader’s block). Vader can block 46 blaster shots and 92 with ‘Focused Rage’ active.
Vader can play defensively and hold his block up just like Yoda, only it takes Vader more time to get back to full stamina.
So don’t say to me that Yoda was overpowered because he could block explosives.
Yoda was the only lightsaber user who could block explosives, which was extremely unique.
Why only in late June after the update was Yoda’s unique block taken from him? It had been in the game since launch and was it even in the patch notes that it would be taken from him?
I’m not happy about this!
1.) your analogy is incorrect because Vader cannot block explosives.
The key factor here is blocking explosives. BOTH Vader & Yoda can approach a blaster user and deflect their shots but neither can deflect explosives; Vader never could. So, no; Vader cannot approach a Bosk or Iden with little to no consequence.
Yoda was given more mobility and his Dash Attacks break through blocks as compensation. He doesn’t “need” to block explosives.
As for the evidence; there are various threads on this. The majority of respondents agree that removing the ability to block explosives makes for more balanced gameplay because otherwise users like Bosk & Iden are at a significant disadvantage which does not constitute balanced gameplay.
