YO RIOT! I have a short question: What happened to finishers?

Added a youtube video for reference.

While the Orbital laser finisher was way too flashy, I really loved the Heart Explosion (still have the icon for that one) and the Urf-Ghost was awesome too.

I'd love to see stuff like that in the game, maybe even customizeable: Imaging killing your enemy and above them a golden, glowing ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) appears. Now THAT's something I would pay money for! Also for people who don't like it: there should be an option so it can be turned off for them.

So, what happened to that idea? Just asking ^^

Riot siad they liked the finishers and said they would add them for other more normal game modes and aram for like pental kills thought it might extend to lower multi killls but with the taric and poppy rework the finishers probly wont be add till pre season if that

Rito is ignoring $$$ then.

Uhm, sadly no. They were just some nice bonus, we didn't have them in the first URF either.

What made URF special was the stat overhaul, nothing more, nothing less.

Also... PFE has extra finisher animations? Gotta look that up for a sec... never really noticed...

The PFE finisher is... completly unnoticable. I almost missed it when I watched the skin spotlight... Of course we are talking about REAL finishers here, not just something weak like that xD

I believe they're still working on them, not too long ago they sent out a survey trying to figure out pricing: https://i.imgur.com/DBZQKxl.jpg

Reddit post with some other stuff they were surveying players about: https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/3e8sjn/new_riot_survey_finishers_for_975_rp_and_new/

Also, just to ease your mind about the tech being developed. The Kindred's teaser is almost certainly based off of finisher tech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyUJ64r7hl0

I really liked this, I never used one but i liked my champions flashy deaths :D

Being customizable is great to, 5-6 characters to write something will be fine. Now i know that people will write "ez" on them or " .!. " but those can be report-able and also they would not be so offensive if they are pre - made, imagine ramuses going just with "yep" or some support going with "sry", or TF " ♠♣♥♦ " , ziggs " 💣 ". The possibilities are endless.

The Orbital Laser was perfect for whenever I killed someone as Leona. It was just a beautiful and perfect fit for her.

You would think they would add it as a single rune. It would be fair for it to cost RP since it's a special case.

Meh... I'm not a fan of "rp-only"... got tons of IP and have no idea on what to spend it on. maybe make it like 8k IP or something like that...

That's actually a better idea. I forgot about those that have tons of IP and nothing to spend it on. I wonder if Riot will act on finishers again... I really hope so.
