I’m so happy with this video. I was the wiki editor who created the distinction between “% Of Missing Hp” & “% Missing HP” abilities. Personally, I feel like "% of Missing Hp" executes are fine, but "Percent Health Missing" abilities can be much more frustrating as they are very potent burst tools and are commonly associated with being one-shot.

By the way do you remember veigar when his ult scales from 80% of ENEMY AP? So if the enemy mage is fed, the more likely he will oneshot it. Imagine having that in 2022.

My only problem for executes as a cho'gath is I swear I can never walk up and eat 'em before they run.

Is it unfair? Maybe. Is it unfair if Draven has one? Ofcourse not. This is Draven's league.

2 points I’d like to make… playing Cho’Gath you can see the execute range, playing against Chogath you have no clue. There’s a lack of clarity. Pyke having a reset on his execute is the one thing that genuinely pisses me off

Just make the execute range visible like how it is on Elder dragon if the champ has hit you recently. Problem Solved IMO.

5:38 "super mega death rocket, exclamationpoint" He said calmly

I have a inner hatred for shields as a chogath main because when I ult someone like yasuo he doesn't die because his shield procs. I dunno its just a pet peeves of mine

I think the best designed Execute is Urgot, it is a rather small but fast skill shot which makes is hard to land on higher range and the % threshhold is small enough that no one feel "unfaily killed" and it is a 2 part ability which gives u as the enemy enough time to react. The worst designed is Pyke. As a champion its "fair" in brackets but the dmg when the Ults executes is very high (late game most of the adcs die in one aa + r . It has a very little indicator (bigger if u use pyke w but thats kinda bs that the indicator for "u gonna die" is another ability) and its prob. the most frustrating . Finishers and Execute feel like the cherry on top of a kit or the ultimate move.... but beginning at lvl 6 pykes R is his kit and personality. Other then Urgot,Darius,Akshan where it is their last action

It depends on the ability. Executes themselves aren’t a problem but what is is the amount of them riot keeps shoving into the game unnecessarily.

Honestly last Caress is pretty good design. It only works because it's on Evelynn who lacks significant gapclosers so she has to sneak up on you first. Additionally it takes her out of the fight so if she doesn't kill her target or wiffs she can't finish them off with something after. Plus it's an ult with no reset so it actually has a cooldown.

Am I the only one shocked by the numbers on Garen’s R. I’ve never looked it up but 350 true damages + 35% of the target’s missing health as true damage on a point and click ability seem insane

The one problem I have w executes is that there is no indication on your end that you are within execute range of someone. Like the person executing gets to know but you don't. For frame of reference, I always use Thanatos from SMITE. When he ults he gets to see all the people he can execute but also while he's ulting anyone within execute range sees the indicator as well. That's literally all I want, is to have the indicator that they see be visible to me so I know whether I'm fine or not

Imma say something for Rek'sai, hers is a lot fairer and grouping it with Eve and Garen and Riven is unfair because her's, one, sucks, two, the timing can very easily be Zhonya'd, unlike a point blank Riven ult. And because she's a shape shifter, it's weaker than a lot of other ults because she needs to be balanced around having more abilities. And it requires hitting the target before using it, and the only way to do that without getting in the enemy's face is hitting a small, long range projectile where if the enemy is out of vision the only way you can know where they are is if they move, and even then the movement tracking refreshes very slowly,

Executes are just a condition on a high damage attack. The fact that something is an execute is never why something is a problem, because it would always be better if that damage was unconditional. Remember: Great finisher means bad opener As such, any problematic executions should be looked at case by case.

I've personally got 2 major problems with executes- 1) It's very important to keep in mind that there are champions that perform better at low hp. Olaf (AS+LS scales off missing hp), Trynd (AD scales off missing hp), Vlad (heal scales off missing hp), Zac (his abilities do % current health damage but his blobs that he gets from them heal % max health, so the lower hp he is, the greater 'net heal' he gets from his blobs). Optimal play of these champions with certain builds requires that in fights you try to hover around a certain health threshold high enough so you don't get burst down but low enough that you're maximizing your kit (I main Vlad and Zac and this number's normally about 30-50% hp). Executes are hard counters to this playstyle. I wouldn't say it's unfair, since just about every playstyle occasionally faces mechanics that require you to play suboptimally in certain scenarios, but it does suck. 2) The true executes (Pyke and Urgot mostly, Draven's doesn't pose much of an issue) are coded to determine whether somebody can be executed before the hit actually connects (I THINK it's calculated as soon as you hit the button, but it's possible there's a specific frame in the animation that it calculates, but it's certainly not when the actual damage is applied). Obviously they ignore shields, as that's the point of them, but they also ignore any changes to hp that would put the champion back above execute range. Lifesteal, heals, level ups, even changes to max hp all don't matter. I can't tell you how many times I've died as Vlad to Urgot or Pyke at FULL HEALTH, and it's absolutely infuriating.

pyke is really the only one i'm really frustrated with and that's just because its an easy reset and it gives so much gold to the team and himself if it was just a kill and the reset or a single kill and no reset with the gold it would be much better i feel it would also force him into a much more support role since he would be much more difficult to carry but right now he has so much power balance in his ult but when you look at the rest of his kit it also has a ludicrous amount of power for the ult so IDK

Executes and finishers are also really pressuring in lane compared to buffing ultimates, if a garen for example wins a trade hard he always has the possibility to extend the trade into an all in and kill you, while somebody with a buffing ult will lose a lot of damage in the all in if he does that (ofc they still can, but it's not ideal). Basically champions with buffing ults have to fully commit and if they screw something they are fucked, champions with executes can just play normally and always have the treath of extending the trade into an all in, basically in some matchups where you only win long trades you might not be able to do them unless you fully commit

The fact that if Pyke misses his ult he isn't teleported to its location is wild. If he misses ult he better be put in the heat of battle.

It depends really. Some executes - like Urgot - are not that strong - he has a missile that he needs to hit on an enemy with less than 25% health just to activate it, and even then zhonyas, qss or similar effects can negate it. If he lands it, gets you below 25%, and manages to pull you in, he deserves the execute and the aoe fear. Pyke, on the other hand, has a much faster execute that kills based on flat health, even if you are like at 60%, but you're a squishy champ, he might be able to get it, and it offers very little time to react and counter it

Pyke's R having a reset is my main issue. Even with the 'your cut' changes, it being able to reset can give the enemy team way to much team gold to the point the match is over before you had time to even try to make a comeback.

My biggest issue with Pyke ult is how forgiving it is. You don't even have to get the kill for it to reset, as long as you ult just after the enemy dies. Also the fact that you basically cannot see him until he is directly on top of you.

I feel like the current executes in the game are pretty fair. Veigar ult does huge damage but without landing an e stun he struggles to hit people with his q and w to get them in his ult kill threshold. Pyke lacks the damage to instantly get yiu within his kill threshold. The most other champs with executes can be easily kited. Urgot has a self slow, garen and darius have no dashes.

Urgot has a fair execute, if you use it as a skillshot at mid-long range the enemy has an opportunity to evade. However, its more effective at point blank after you hit his stun since the stun duration is longer than the R cast time. This is urgot's most effective range so if the enemy is fighting in it (except if he E+Flashes) it's already his advantage

Executes are not a problem, buy they are meant to be consistent. Most games, and even LoL, use a % of Max hp execute threshold to keep it's potency parallel with leveling. Pyke however doesn't abide by this and instead can execute based off of a flat numerical HP value. While this makes him counterbalanced by massive health pools any champ that doesn't have the luxury of building those items will simply watch in horror as Pyke presses 1 button and insta-kills them from 1700 health when their max hp may be around 2100. 25-30%hp is a nominal execute threshold in games, 65-75% is absolutely an outlier and imo a aberrant one. Otherwise it is a fun and ez to balance mechanic

In my opinion when they removed the ability to qss + dash to remove a knockup was the worst thing to happen in league. It used to be that suppression was the best cc in the game and thus the kits that had it were balanced around it, along with the counterplay to the mechanic. However, many champions have knockups with varying durations. Even baron nashor has a knockup and a long one at that. The rational was that tenacity would apply to knockups which was stupid by definition (because champions with knockups rely on the knockups and their durations, so lowering the duration was bad for the champion that used them and removing the ability to cleanse it was bad for everyone else). I really wish they revert that change.

I was happy that you remembered Rek'Sai, but her ultimate does have counterplay/skill expression- if she wants to get you from range, she has to land Q, which can be very hard to do at times.

Just remember no matter how annoying executes are, most characters that have them (outside the ones that do more damage the lower you are) give up a significant amount of power to have them. If they didn’t have the execute, that power would just get put elsewhere where it would probably actually be better spent. Imagine if Pyke scaled better rather than having the execute, he’d be way stronger than he is now. An ability feeling bad to get hit by doesn’t mean it’s inherently bad for the game or overpowered.

Before having seen the video i will say Urgot execute is one of the few that feels fair (for me atleast) when fighting

Urgot had a true execute before Pyke. Urgot > reworked to his current ult in v7.15 in 2017. Pyke > released 2018 Urgot ult is 100% a true finisher.

I belive that eve ult is balanced, since even without it she already deals a ton of damage it truly is there just to make sure, even more without have a reset mechanic like so other ( aka pyke and viego) and her only real set up is her W which either gives you the charm after a period of time or a slow if used right after, but without the mr reduction

Execution effects like Akali's R2, Veigar's R, Jinx's R, etc- abilities that scale with missing health, rather than true executes- are, in my opinion, the fairest version of these effects. And depending on the strength of the effect, I don't think they need to be locked to ultimates- for instance, I have no qualms with Seraphine's Q scaling by missing health, as I wouldn't say it's strong enough to be a problem- but for more extreme examples, such as Veigar's ultimate (Which I've seen kill at 60+% health many times), it definitely should be an ultimate. True executions, like Pyke's ultimate, Elder Dragon burn, and Collector proc, I would say are much harder to balance- Elder Dragon burn I'm mostly fine with, since it's a late-game Epic Monster buff, and is meant to be very powerful. Collector bothers me, but that's more so because it gives critical strike chance AND lethality, and less because of its execution effect. But Pyke's ultimate, I would say, is much more of a problem- not just because it can be recast for free every time it scores a kill, but also because the execution threshold scales with his AD. That is what I take issue with most- true executions are so powerful that their strength increasing over the course of the game, at least to me, feels very unhealthy. (I'm also aware that Pyke's ultimate is one of the only true executions in the game that isn't percentage-health based, and thus is disproportionately effective against low-health targets than it is against high-health targets, which I don't think is a good thing. As much as I'm hesitant to say any of these effects should be stronger, I think making executions equally threatening to all champions would make the divide in champion durability feel less severe.)

Teemo's mushroom laying in your Jungle w8ing FOUR you to step on it after a long team fight:

Vars your videos are so high quality and there refreshing to watch

As a tank main who's played back when the tank meta was a thing, I can attest that in the spirit of fairness, %hp, %missinghp, and executes being more common now is a welcome sight. The last thing anyone wants is another tank meta, and say what you will about executes but they are a necessary counter measure in league now. Counterplay is what makes league fun, no matter how tanky I am seeing a late game vayne should put the fear of god in my eyes. Similarly, when I'm fed and the enemy team has no counters for my shear bulk, my presence should put that same fear in their eyes.

Great video Vars, as always. I really like the way you analyze League and it kind of helps me get a little better, although I'm not really competitive and keep playing ARAMs and normals but it's a little more enjoyable to play League knowing what the hell you're doing. Now that you have mentioned this briefly in this video, I would really like to see a video on max health dmg, or rather true damage itself. Personally as a tank, offtank and bruiser player myself, I feel the fact that there's a couple champions that just deal a percentage of your max health as true damage is hideous. It's probably "balanced" because there's not a lot of champions that deal this kind of dmg (if I'm not mistaken, there's only like 3 or 4), but at the time I just don't know what to do against a Vayne or a Fiora that delete my health bar independent of what I have itemized, it feels really unfair but most of the time I recognize the fact that I'm taking that dmg is my fault. I would love to see your take on true damage or max health damage

Ngl, Pykes ult is offset by being on Pyke, not saying Pyke is a bad champ, though currently he is, but that he prolly has the slowest time to kill compared to the rest of the assassins, he has THE BEST execute in the game.

No execute that's versatile enough to be used on demand, as a Gap closer and escape should also be allowed to reset, that's where I draw the line. Looking at you pyke and viego. Alkali feels kind gross aswell but think hers just shouldn't be an execute at all, her kit is already pretty incredible.

What I will say in the defense of Pyke is that if he misses the ult or doesn't execute someone, his threath level disappears, yes you may never be able to catch him, but with 1200 health he isn't going to do much without a co-operative team, especially since his stun requires him to dive into the enemy team. Give Pyke's ult to anyone else who can gain HP and it's the worst ability ever, on Pyke himself, it's actually somewhat fair.

I loved the taxi apex clip lol, didn't expect to see him in a league video

I actually disagree with eyelynn point, since that is her only escape tool to used.

Executes are healthy for the game as long as they are kept controlled because they stop a tank meta and sustain from becoming too prevalent. However, they are also very very strong, especially possible to be too strong if they _aren't_ controlled because then they'll overtake the meta, be abused into becoming the standard, and then make other ways of killing the target to be inferior, thusly making said meta less fresh and less unique, as well as possibly less fun. I'm saying this as an aggressive squishy mage support main by the way. I want a one shot meta based around pure skill but I also want tanks to be able to do their job because it wouldn't be fair to them otherwise.

Haven't played the game since season 4 but I watch every single video of yours :)

As always a great video from Vars. There are plenty of good points gathered here my only nitpick is not talking about blocking the projectile (braum shield, windwalls, spell shields) executes/ults like viegar ult or riven ult. But apart from that I do agree that Ultimates that function as executes but also provide way too many perks is quite unnecessary. The viego,eve and pyke repositioning is a bit annoying. I want to omit reksai and akali because a lot of extra work has to be done before those see total value. That and reksais ult is a weird topic development wise. But the bigger take away in addition to what the ults provide is definitely who they are on. The best designed executes would be something like you said up the ball park of darius. Essentially ults with the primary function of doing damage first and a little something extra given the character, ie. reset, fear, extra hp or stat. Things like invulnerability, and dashing on characters who could easily do 3x your health bar over seems rather redundant and unnecessary at times. Like you said those with point and click executes need to go through the fair hoops to justify it being healthy. Skill shots are usually fine in addition to being blockable and therefore point and click bursts should only be healthy given enough limiters on attempting to get the intended value out of the ability.

6:48 Pyke was not the first execute, he was added to the game in patch 8.11, meanwhile Urgot's remake was back in 7.15. Urgot's ult execute was the first true execute, long before pyke. Odd that you'd get that wrong when you had allready mentioned Urgot as one of the champs with a true execute before before this point.

Another relevant difference between the two types of finishers: it doesn't matter how much damage you are dealing, % missing health damage will always do the same damage, whereas increasing the damage based on the enemy missing health scales off the damage you are doing. The implication behind it is that the former don't need you to do high damage to begin with to be effective. For example, right after his 2017's rework, Shaco's E started giving % missing health damage. That same rework also reduced Shaco's ratios substantially so building AD was less rewarding and less necessary at the same time. At that time, Shaco's optimal build consisted of Titanic Hydra (which at the time had an active that empowered your next auto), Trinity Force and Deadman's Plate. All itens that increase your basic attack's damage once, but Shaco could use it twice because of this clon. Paired with Thunderlord's, Ignite and the % missing health finisher on his E, Shaco could oneshot with that bruiser setup. While not the only change responsible for the transition, switching Shaco's E from a % missing health type of finisher to a increase the damage based on enemy's missing health was a contributing factor responsible to encourage Shaco to build AD again and end the oneshoting bruiser build. First because it made building AD rewarding again and second because having some base damage was necessary for the finisher to scale off with.

One of my best friends mains Pyke and he agrees that the only redeeming quality about him is his ult

I’d actually go as far and say that the game really needed executes in the past few years. In a game state where certain champs and/or build allow you to one v three and heal you back from 10% in the process, reliable killing blows feel like the one thing to counter such teamfight monstrosities.

I have a crude against Cho'Gath from when I first started playing. Just knock up, silence, into R. Tilts me to no end.

idk if this is a hot take or not, but I believe super mega death rocket to be the most balanced "big execute" spell because it requires alot of skill on the jinx's part and can't 100-0 unlike some "executes" because it needs a huge amount of covered range to reach its max damage

IMO executes are the ultimate feast or famine mechanic and that plays a big part in people's perception of them. If you're ahead, then executes do a ton of damage, but if you're behind, they're turbo useless because you can't get the enemy low enough for them to be useful. This is exacerbated by being point-and-click so you can't even counterplay it. The consequence being, enemy team executes feel very oppressive if your team is behind.

I'd honestly argue Evelynn's execute doubling as an escape is fine, as if she whiffs it her target actually can get away. If you whiff the other executes you can just kill your target normally but evelynn tps away from her target.

There is also kench which has a quazi execute that needs 3 stacks and then the actual kill doesn't happen immediately when you consume the opponent at 15% health or below.

I can never stay mad when I get killed by an Urgot ult. Ever since the range buff you really have to respect his presence both going into and exiting a fight. Cause a lot of Urgot executes from what I’ve seen is from champions barely making it out alive from a fight and dropping their guard to recall under tower, only to get picked off by the drill

Okay an execute that's well designed is Urgots, because yes it does allow him to win a lot of 1vs1's but it takes time to activate, its difficult to use in a teamfight and its easy to counter but if you manage to land it, its very satisfying giving a small heal and an aoe fear. A badly designed execute is Pyke, a support should not have an execute period. Except he is a support with an execute that resets and lets him dash to the target and give gold to his ally even if they contributed little. Even if you could justify this with the fact that Pike is squishy or that he does have bad support matchups its no excuse for a class thats traditionally there for playmaking to be able to clean house as effectively as the adc they are supporting, if not better than. Even damage oriented supports are balanced by abilities that don't reset on kills allowing them to blow their load and be less effective afterward. Pyke does not have this weakness.

Went back after 12.10. Having a Lil more fun. And allergies are fine I can't breathe all spring either keep up the great work

Vars mentioning his subcount in a time period every now and then reminds me I literally discovered him on his second video. damn time flies

Hey vars how are you?i have a question! I know the topic is about league pc but have you concidered recording some legends of runtera analys? Becouse in there there are so many classes and play styles that you can discust about

Very few things can match the dopamine shot that is starting a ult chain with pyke though

It's not necessarily about the finisher itself, but the champion that its on. For me, pretty fair is probably ChoGath and Urgot, annoying but acceptable is everything from Darius to Veigar , hard to counterplay but I can get used to would be Pyke and Evelynn, where I draw the line is Viego and especially Akali.

I personally love the Lucario's move refference from Pokemon Unite on the max health vs missing health comparison ( Power-up Punch and Close Combat )

The funny thing about Viego's ult is that, it applies on-hit and spell effects to primary target. If you build Blade of the Ruined King and DS, you deal 24% max health damage, and with his recent nerfs his execute % is more or less the same.

Showing a Mr Game and Watch clip when talking about risk reward is peak irony, especially when talking about Smash attacks having high startup and endlag

Ah, i dont even notice executes in this game, i think executes force you to play your champ in a certain way, and they also balance your champ so that you cant start fights with certain abilities or you lose damage. So when you see a veigar ult that shows 1.5k damage on your screen in reality you only had like 400-500 hp when veigar decided to cast it, so its effective damage is much lower than what you might think. And i think some abilities like eve ultimate its balanced that way so that you don’t lose half of your hp bar if you are full hp and eve decides to use it defensively to get away, same thing with akali. So yeah, these abilities are fairly balanced more so than for example a zoe q just oneshoting you regardless of the percent of hp you have or xerath killing you with just ultimate or kaisa w or varus q, if these abilities were balanced as executes, they would actually seem more balanced

Just what’s the background music during this video I like it so much 😢

Looks like everyone thinks urgot's the most balanced, which i think is nuts, his is the only execute you don't need to time, you can literally use it at the begining of a fight and then dps the target, also the fear on it is busted af. Pyke's seems to be the most hated even though it's easy to dodge if you have any kind of mobility or immunity, so galeforce and zonyas make it useless unless the enemy is on 200 ping, and many say the reset is broken, but you need to live for long enough to use it, something that's kind of hard on a champ that needs to build lethality and get in melee range to do anything, and he can't even stack hp to resist for more than 2 seconds, so basically any form of cc on him is a death sentence.

I think Akshans ulti design provides better counter play. It can be blocked by other champs, towers, and minions. Literally almost anything.

Yo that urgot game play at 7:15was freaking bomb

Rek'Sai's R need you to either be in their face and attack them to mark them so you can use your ult, or you need to land a fast but narrow skill shot that doesn't pierce minions. Either you need to be in their face, or have skill in positioning to hit the skill shot.

Can anyone tell me what's the name of the outro? It's so good!

Can someone tell me what's the name of the song, please? Its really good and I feel like I've heard it before but... :c

as a somewhat pyke player i must say that , you can still dodge the ult. like yeah sure we have ways to get in but, pyke E is his only way of mobility. imagine is Evelyn ult didn't send her far sway after the damage and you got pyke . like you go in you are a squishy a** bald fella who is about to die. also you can not ignore the fact that you can side step the ult.

This is completely unrelated but I love that you used Lucario's Power-up Punch and Close Combat from Unite to make the missing/max health damage comparison. I WISH Close Combat had max health damage but that'd probably be too overpowered lol. Power-up Punch's execute damage is kind of nutty honestly since it already has insane attack scaling on top of doing bonus damage based on missing health. Imagine if tapping Vi's Q without fully charging it did 10% of an enemy's missing HP, capping out at 1k damage. It's insane, especially when securing objectives.

i find then extremely unfair for 1 reason only: most of those only require someone to be low HP like Darius "execute" is fair because he needs to stack his passive by himself,and needs AD to make it scale something like garen execute instead is pure BS,he doesn't need to invest in offensive stats,and just because you are low in his general surroundings you are dead,even if he didn't do anything else in the fight there is no outplaying that besides the fact that some champions rely on being low HP and healing back (Olaf,Aatrox,etc.) but they just can't do anything to play around those abilities

I wonder what could be done about pyke to make him more fair. They gutted his gold generation, but imo if they added a cast time to his ult instead, that might have fixed it. This was a very good thought provoking video. Thabks again vars :)

I'm sorry but the clip of Urgot at 7:12 was insane

I actually think Eve’s ult is fair, since when you’re within execution range there’s a mark on you to let you be wary, and the fact it’s an ultimate means she loses a lot of her presence once she uses it and fails to execute her target

Can you do a video specifically on Sylas? Why everyone plays or no one plays?

I might have a bias (i do) about fiddle w because it just works with his kit in a way that w by itself isnt that scarry unless u have 25 mejai stacks but hitting r or even e with q passive into q w makes it do more damage so it is less of an execute and more of an extender to your damage that you have to hit

The way you used Lucarios' move icons from pokemon unite makes me wonder... You play that game too? If so, I'd love to see you talk about it a bit. Maybe do some character or class analysis?

10:00 achilles from smite has the same type of ability as pyke R: it's an execute that resets. BUT it has like 1s of windup, can be blocked by other people (it´s like a dash), and it's a flat percentage (that doesnt scale) Keep in mid that Achiles is a tank, and despise all of that it isnt near as frustating as pyke's R because it has a lot of counter play, whereas pyke's R is nearly instant, scales, has a huge (and bizarre) hitbox, low cooldown and you have like 1 minute to recast it between resets

The biggest annoyance I have is resets on Executes (looking at Pyke). Like you said in the video, it is so easy for a Pyke to just make his way to a low health target and exe them before they can even react. So Pyke slips in, nukes target 1, then target 2, target 3, etc.. It feels terrible coming out of a fight that you just barely win only to have a bottom feeder come out of nowhere and remove the last quarter of your healthbar, then go to a nearby lane and do it again to someone else. Couple that with how long the timer is on his reset, where he can actually go from top to bottom of the map and still have his execute...

While things like fiora parry and windwalls exist in this game, anything goes

Anyone know what's the song being played?

I dont think there is too much executes in the game, but just enough that it is justified to be at least a little mad when they release another champ with one

The Collector is an interesting case; it requires your opponent to be at or below 5% of their HP for it to activate. People run this item all of the time, although it's hard to gauge where an opponent's current health is at. So it's pretty much a way to secure a few kills when it counts.

For such an overloaded champion, I find Akshan’s ult extremely underwhelming. I have never pulled off a successful ult.

I don't know why i feel that pyke's ultimate is so unfair but veigar's is perfectly balanced

My friend once used the fact that we didn't destroy the first turret to shoot through the second on akshan ult

Why did you use power up punch close combat from Lucario in pokemon unite? they just do flat damage right?

7:19 ah yes the immoveable object also being the unstoppable force at the same time

Whats the music in the background?

akshan's r is a minigame veigar cages you, has an unmissable slow/potential root, q is pretty much guaranteed to land if you slow and then he presses r and with the amount of free ap he gets he kills you and if he doesnt he just walks away since he's at a safe distance this entire time

What song did you use for this video?

Yooo I made it for the premiere for once in almost a year! I love executes tbh that’s not Pyke, his is cracked. I think it’s a fair ability that really defines some champs’ identity because it usually sits on an ult. I do think that it can be unhealthy for the game tho since some champs have it slapped onto some abilities unnecessarily. Other than that, it’s a nice touch to make a champ a bit more unique in their own right

Here again to ask when the HOTS channel will be up.

Vars can you start putting the name of the songs on the description?

imo fiddlesticks's w is a pretty good execute, since it has to channel for a few seconds and only activates the execute on the end, and you can avoid the execute by either cancelling his channel or by just moving out of the w range

as a new asol main. Idk if a scaling max HP AOE execute that isnt the ult is sooo smart. That combined with a max HP per second breath attack that can be used with a high mobility ability. :/ Well I like it and it takes time till you get to a point where it gets impactfull. But after the laning phase it hard counters zhonyias. Enemy uses the watch, you place your e and fly away. the 5 second E outlasts zhonyias and if below the threshhold insta executes

Til this day I miss sylas old w use to be an excuse that delt bonus 50% damage below 40% health.
