Execution indicator on some of the champions

Greetings, although I think that this sort of topic has been discussed earlier I couldn't find anything in particular, so I want to refresh the conversation by starting a new post. I'd like to address some of the ultimate, single-target execution abilities of some of the champions. For example, Darius which has no indicator of when the damage of his ultimate is going to be enough to execute his target. Take a look at Pyke or Cho'Gath, both of them have an indicator that gives them the information whether the target can be eliminated. I find it kind of unfair that some of the champions don't get these indicators, such as :

If you have any arguments as to why you'd be against such a change I'd love to hear them in the comments, because after giving it a bit of a thought I can't exactly find any particular reason as to why it shouldn't be that way.

I'd like to mention that when it comes to Veigar I believe that you should just be able to see when the ultimate can be used to it's full potential (a.k.a. when does the target have 33% health).

Pyke's execution is a small skill shot that can easily be dodged with any dash abilities. Darius, Veigar, and Caitlyn are click-to-cast abilities that can't be countered other than shields, heals or invulnerability. Everyone has a weakness, and instead of being petty maybe you should learn how to counter them properly.

I'm not sure the aggressiveness is necessary, nevertheless it has absolutely nothing to do with counterplayability, it's just a difference of information given to the player while using abilities with exactly the same purpose. Pyke's ultimate has other things that make it balanced between the fact that it's a dodgeable skillshot in comparison to for example Darius's ultimate, such as the fact that it has much bigger range, it's an AOE ability and it teleports you to the place if you manage to land it, now that being said, by no means am I calling Pyke's ultimate better or worse, it's on an equal level of other execution abilities, and as such, I'd like for other abilities of the same type to recieve the same informations.
