Minion Killing animations were a great Feature. | Forums

[Sir_Gaz_the_4th]

One of the big selling point of this game for me was being able to choose from a variety of heroes and have them cut through hordes of minions with ease. The animations for each hero when fighting minions was excellently crafted and great to look at. It added a lot of style and personality to each of the heroes and really made them feel special.
Every time i unlocked a new hero i would test them out on the minion lane to see how they cut through all minions with their unique animations for it. It was great.

With the removal of these animations fighting minions isn't as entertaining as it used to be. The characters are just slashing blindly into the air with their standard moveset and it isn't as beautiful to watch.

While in the past for some heroes locked attacks were more efficient for minion clear the same could be said for the old animations. Either way each hero had the choice of using locked combat or standard kills.

While i understand removing it from the breach game mode may have been needed because pikemen require multiple hits to kill. it shouldn't have been removed from dominion.
If we could get these animation back for dominion, or somehow work it into breach archers or for killing blows on pikemen, i think the community would really appreciate this.

At the very least if complications arise either with new characters missing the animations or whatnot, Put the animations in dominion for the heroes that had them initially.

Thanks for reading!

I'll be honest, i actually didnt like the animations for my fav characters. Some heroes had great animations that worked better and were pretty, but some of the animations were slow, boring and actually made minion killing horrible.

Im fine with them gone, but i can understand some people missing them too.

Im curious, what heroes do you play most?

Yeah and now characters like the shinobi are complete trash at killing minions because they have no range at all.

We've let the team know they're missed. As of right now, I don't have any update to provide on this. The reasoning for their removal was that we wanted unity across game modes, and Pikemen take more than one hit to kill.

I hate to tell you this, but....... minions are not pikemen!

Bring those back already. Leave them out from breach game mode. But other game modes should have them specifically DOMINION.

Alright, this is going to be my Safest Solution. Bring minion animations back but have them cost STEEL to unlock. I believe the reason they took them out based on Freeze's video is MONEY.

It pains me to say it, but I'm even willing pay just to see them back
