So tired of executions

I cannot really put into words how absolutely_ tired_ I am of executions in League of Legends.

And the rest of your dirty lot.

Remember the good ole days where you really only had to watch out for Darius when he had that free reset no time limit execute? Now you cannot piss in the wind without an execute somewhere.

I miss watching low health outplays, I miss that butt clench of watching 10 people brawl with low health sitting there trying to figure out who was going to win the brawl. But now it's even worse if the enemy team has because there's no room for outplay, no room for clutch plays, no room for just about anything without on your team to counter faceroll R. On top of the other executes in game I'm absolutely bored watching people's games in spectate mode when there's an enemy . Why is there this trend of throwing executes in the game?

I don't know about other people, but I enjoy the butt clench plays. Not watching some dork press R and completely deleting someone past a certain health threshold. That goes for all the execute champions, not just Pyke.

Yes, we could just ban Pyke but you don't have enough bans to waste of banning out all the cheese:

Remember when you guys sat there and removed point and click skills in favor of skill shots to really test players skill? So why go to these point click ultimates that not only not show any skill but reset on kills or assists, that can be used again and again as long as you time it correctly?

Do you guys want skill based play or just who can burst who the hardest by pressing R?

Save your mobility spell for pyke's R. Or flash and he doesn't get reset. It's pretty ez to bait his R, it's a skillshot with sufficient travel time to dodge if you aren't CCd

Have you ever tried playing him?

And the rest of your dirty lot.

Out of all the champions you listed (and all the champions in the game, for that matter) only two of them have 'true' executes. A proper execute is something that will always kill you 100% of the time if you meet the requirements. Darius, Cho'Gath, Garen, Evelynn, all of those champions have "execute" abilities that can be shielded and/or blocked in some way.

Pyke and Urgot are the only two champions with real executes.

Okay first of all, the fact that you call Pyke's R a "faceroll" just shows me you've never played him or have never taken the time to learn how to fight him. Let's list all the ways that Pyke's ultimate can be countered:

Anyone with a blink, dash, stasis, or untargetability spell.

Anyone with any form of invulnerability or death-counter spell

Anyone with ally-targeted heals.

Items. and (when combined with an already strong shield/heal ability)

Summoner spells. and even if the person has the max MS from it.

Misc. All have MS boosting abilities that after a certain point are enough to straight up walk out of Pyke's ult.

Remember when you guys sat there and removed point and click skills in favor of skill shots to really test players skill? So why go to these point click ultimates that not only not show any skill but reset on kills or assists, that can be used again and again as long as you time it correctly?

Point and click? Have you ever played Pyke? His ultimate is a delayed AoE that has plenty of counters (listed above) and takes insane timing to consistently perform well with.

Also, some of your most played champions are Sona, Soraka, and Janna. 3 champions with actual point and click abilities, large AoEs that are nigh-impossible to miss, and three champions that also counter Pyke.

Do you guys want skill based play or just who can burst who the hardest by pressing R?
