Execute ultimates should have an indicator when they can kill.

So after the Rek'sai rework(This champion that no one seems to know aboutRekSai) I decided to pick her back up and start playing her again. Overall I love her new ult and how it makes her feel like the landshark she is. However there has been something bugging me with her ultimate. Despite its high damage scaling and missing health damage I found that every time I chose a target in a teamfight either my team would kill them before the ultimate could hit, or it would just barely not kill them. I went around looking at other champions that have executes and noticed that Chogath,Darius,Garen and Zed all have an indicator when their ult can execute there target. Initially I thought that RekSai could use an indicator on her ult for summoner 13 purposes(I'm so sorry), but then I realized that Veigar also doesn't have an indicator. So as a little proposition that I believe would help clarity with such champions, I believe that it would be a great idea to have all execute style ultimates have a visual indicator as to when they can kill there target. So that there team and player know that they wont be wasting it. (unless the enemy has summoner 7 summoner 21 or other healing) Sorry for the wall of text, but I would like to know what you guys think of this?

Pretty sure Darius' indicator is just for when he gets max damage out of it.

Didn't know Garen's told him when it would kill seeing as the number of ults I've seen fail is pretty high

Zed's ult is a multiplier of damage dealt so it makes a bit more sense and it gives him a safety net since he is quishy

Not saying your idea is bad or anything just that there might be a reason why it is the way it is and that 2 of them might be misunderstandings

Riot has bigger fish to fry but this seems like some polishing that a lot of champs would benefit from.

i dont see any indicators that their ult will kill people if used. but adding such a function just dumbs down the game that much more. i like that it requires individual thought to play vs waiting for a computer to tell me to click a button.

this is a horrible idea and should not be implemented.

this game should leave no indicators of any kind that a spell/ability will kill a target.

and in terms of Darius his marker is to show that higher damage will occur if used not a sure kill. Diana has a marker that shows her ult will reset on use. Khazix shows a player when a target is isolated. again just showing that greater damage can be dealt but telling a player that they will get a kill if they click now is just too heavy handed of a indicator.

Zed Chogath Darius aren't executes. Knowing when to use your execute (when it will kill) is part of champion knowledge
