So first of all, I have to say that Im very happy for all the advances For Honor has made this year, everything its getting better and thats awesome.
But Im sort of disappointed with the topic I wanted to talk about, which is in the title. I dont know if there is something related to the "meta" in the change you made to this, (for example, the time you take to clear a whole point, and the HP you lose because of the extra time you take), but as I see it, as a player who invested almost 320 hours into this game, Its more important to have a great time than winning because of a mistake or some extra seconds. For honor is game in which you can enjoy a lot by just one fight you had on a point (and even if you died), so why take that away? The soldier killing animations were one of the most enjoyable and satisfying features the game had, you would just run into them and spam your heavy and light combos and it was just awesome. So I think that Im speaking for lots of people here when I say that you should reconsider bringing them back.
Although this is just a flaw that I believe it was unnecessary to have, the updates and all the things you guys are doing for the game are great, so keep it up!

Cheers from Uruguay!
