    New Hotkey button: Random Execution

    I post this about every 6 months or so on the game forums. I figured Id give it a post again.

    So, I have so many executions on each hero, and for the most part, they are all amazing! And I (and I believe other players) want to see them used more, and more easily please; without having to constantly switch them out. Some of our heroes now have a dozen executions, and they should be able to be utilized more readily, and at the same time bring about more immersion in your game.

    My suggestion here can be realized one of two ways:

    Currently we have four options for specific executions we want to use on each hero. I would suggest allowing us to assign a "RANDOM EXECUTION" button to one of those current hotkeys in order to automatically use ANY of the already OWNED executions for that hero. This will still allow players who strategically decide to hot key a short execution and a long execution depending on specific combat scenarios to do just that.

    OR THIS:

    So, when we land that final heavy attack, all buttons are disabled, and the only buttons we are allowed to use are the hotkeys for our assigned executions.

    I would like to suggest that we are allowed a designated 3rd (or 5th hotkey button depending on how you view it) that is the "RANDOM EXECUTION" Button. When it is pressed during the execution phase of combat, it will randomly select ANY ONE of the random executions you OWN for that hero; and execute that fatality accordingly.

    This will allow players to assign 4 specific executions that they prefer or have strategically set up for combat specific situations; and also allow players who simply want to watch their executions play out randomly and smoothly in the fight for immersion, to do so!


    Conclusion:

    -I feel this is a better way to do things, considering there are now SO many executions for many of the heroes that we never get to see 90 percent of them utilized, except briefly at best.

    -It is kind of a waste of potential for product pipeline distribution in an indirect way in its current state. Money and talent put into development for executions should be realized through creating a trending desire to collect them all by the player. Many new players might not be even willing to purchase most executions because the sheer amount of executions can seem overwhelming when you can only decide to play with four at a time.

    -It will also incentivize players to purchase all the executions. It gives a reason to own them all as a collection, and be able to see them used without the clunky customization issue.

    Even myself currently, I dont even purchase most executions on all heroes except my 3 mains any longer, unless I see a need to do so, because there are so many on so many heroes... whats the point? I'm never going to get to see them all, and I really dont want to spend the amount of time it takes to go into a submenu, and re-customize my hero over and over so I can see them do a different set of executions unless they are a main.

    This is smart business, and a good quality of life improvement for your player base. Please put in a "RANDOM EXECUTION" hotkey.

    I really love the first idea like assign the hold buttons a certain amount of executions that rotate
