Execute Indicators- Should They Be More Present?

Meep Man··2 votes·382 views

Anyone else feel like ultimates that deal more damage with the enemy's missing health or ultimates that rely on getting the kill in order to activate a secondary effect that is a large part of the ultimate should have execute indicators? I'm looking at:

Darius Jhin Jinx KogMaw Mordekaiser Riven Veigar (Jhin's execute is on a "per bullet basis" with the execute indicator appearing when his current bullet from Curtain Call will kill them) (Mordekaiser's will appear if his ultimate will kill it's target without any interference from outside in a similar style to Zed's ultimate shuriken indicator)

Nothing feels worse than playing as some of these champions, whole-heartedly believing your long cool down ultimate will kill the target, and then they survive with health in the double digits. It's just a little frustrating, especially since Garen, Zed, and Cho'Gath already have execute indicators. Now, I can alrrady see this comment coming:

WTF, no. These champions don't need to be more brainless than they already are. Get gud low ELO scrub.

No, this isn't something that has anything to do with balance or anything like that. This is an issue of consistency and maybe even clarity.

Garen has an execute indicator? What does it look like?

When you're fighting the villain, the sword above their champion will enlarge if judgement will kill them.

Does it work against people who aren't the villian?

Nope

Implying a Garen should be commonly using his ultimate on someone who isn't the Villain

Everyone is the villain.

For percent missing hp Ults I wouldnt mind.

For darius, adding an execute indicator would take out a huge chunk of skill playing him.

His ultimate is flat true damage. Bars on the enemy hp bar indicate 100hp segments. Do or die figure it out without assistance. The game shouldnt cater so hard to skill-less players.

This removes the skill in knowing what will execute. Knowing your champion's limits and knowing their damage is important in this game, giving bad players a pass on this is just wrong.

Then why do Cho'Gath, Garen, and Zed all already have these indicators? I suppose by that logic we should just remove their indicators.

no. you dont deserve this, this would be such a massively disgusting buff. its skill to know when you can actually execute and its a huge part of the playstyle.

darius can already just land a q and dunk you for 400 damage with a black cleaver. just know that.

darius delaying his first dunk even 0.05% could change the game.
