Execute (insta-kill) ultimates are completely broken

Now i have had this issue since i learned that veigar existed Veigar i can't count the times where i had just a won fight only for this blue boy to show up , press R and claim not only my shutdown gold but some ability from it too ! I was okay with it though . I said to myself it's a one time thing JUST for this champion.

But oh boy was i wrong : Evelynn rework rolls out Evelynn and guess what ? her R is an execute , oh and she is also invisible Urgot rework rolls out Urgot and guess what ? his R is also an execute but atleast it's a narrow skill shot and you can see him at all times Pyke rolls out Pyke and guess what ? his R is also an execute and his W makes him invisible but he doesn't have to W to use his R if he does you will know he is there he can use E and R and if you haven't warded you wont expect a thing ( also his R hitbox is very broken ) Akali rework rolls out Akali and guess what ? her R2 is an execute too ( well kind of )

also garen Garen but all of his abilities are AIDS he can just use Q and R to kill a low hp target Even better for him if you are the villain

Now think of a team fight with these guys Garen Pyke Veigar Urgot Evelynn and you won't be sleeping tonight ;)

My point here is the fact that riot is making a habit of these executes in most recent reworks , new champions and accoding to me it's really not that health to offer free oneshots i mean its okay for 1 or 2 champions to have but there is already too many "press R for free kill" champs

You haven’t really explained why they’re broken.

You not liking something ≠ broken.

I don't fully disagree with your point, but you literally chose the five examples of healthy executes while leaving out unhealthy ones like Darius Zed LeeSin. My examples they have nothing curbing their executes. Each one of your examples are heavily gated in who they can execute.

darius is easily the healthiest execute in the game lol. gated behind 5 stacks and countered by HP

I personally would like to see him tweaked to not be always countered/countering.

He always wins against tanks and always loses against marksmen. But, yeah, you can play around his ultimate.

any champion that's not designed by a total spastic is based around having counters and being countered

There's a happy medium, though, and he's not hitting it.

he's not supposed to, dude. The entire point of being an immobile melee champion is that you're countered by getting kited and peeled. You have to find a way to overcome the range discrepancy to win. A tank's job is to keep Darius from spreading his stacks onto the rest of his team and popping off. he's exactly where he should be as far as design goes.

That's teamfights, though. Laning phase is either not good to him or too good for him.

I like Darius, but having most matchups equal is kind of a thing most champions do.

you are correct however being low health is 50% of how your HP bar will look like in League also Zed's execute isn't really an execute its a damage bonus for kill securing i mean it's very broken and a unhealty addition to an already broken kit but atleast you know where Zed is and where he will show up

well for them to execute you you have to be relatively low. so am not sure how is it instakill.

most of these champions are garbage in team fights

well most of the time in league you are 50% and under HP so it's not that hard for them to pull off a kill with R also the teamfight part was a joke to how easily they would kill all low HP champs

yeah you spawn with 50% health
