Let's talk about Pyke's built-in "lethal" indicator

Think about how Pyke gets a neat little line on all enemy champions (when his ult is up) that tells him if his ult will kill the enemy.

And then think about the ultimate of Chogath Darius Garen (vs the villain) and Urgot. They all deal true damage on their ultimate, yet none of them have any indication telling them if their ult will kill or not.

All of these champion's ultimate aim to deal the killing blow on an enemy, so why is it that Pyke is the only one with a built-in "lethal" indicator?


Closing argument

I really like the concept of "execution" abilities, especially the ones that benefit their champion for scoring the last hit. It just seems kind of unfair that every other champion has do deal with looking at the enemies health bar (left clicking them) and remembering the damage their ultimate deals to know if they can kill a target or not. It's even worst for champions that don't deal true damage, like Evelynn Riven or Karthus, they have to accommodate for resistances and their own magic/armor penetrations.


My opinion

Completely remove Pyke's lethal indicator.


League of Legends should compare skill level; not the tools champions have at their disposal. [slayer-jinx-wink]

Cho'gath and Garen (vs the villain) both have indicators, and Urgot doesn't need one because you just spam r and it will kill them when they are low enough.

Urgot actually has an indicator, too. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/lGA6-rKU4wU/maxresdefault.jpg

And Urgot is one of the few Riot mentioned that they want to give him the indicator on the health bar on top. Because he executes at 25% health and it isn't a needed skill check for Urgot to guess when these 25% are reached. Meanwhile Garen, Darius, Cho are all supposed to get tested here, they are supposed to calculate if it will kill the enemy or not.

But Cho doesn't need to
