Ground Executions:
I think gameplay would improve with ground executions, especially with Hulda's/Jormungandr's 50dmg ground punish. Other characters that would benefit from this are:


  • Valkyrie with her Spear Sweep Punish
  • Centurion with his ground punish
  • Gladiator with when he/she Toe Stabs grounded opponents
  • when any hero finishes a grounded opponent with a heavy.


What I mean be ground executions are execution animations that are unique and exclusive to situations where the opponent is executed while on the ground. Ground executions wouldn't give access to the current execution animations or future standard versions.

UPDATE: Ground executions wouldn't give opponents any penalties, otherwise deathballs would get a significant buff.


More Execution Opportunities:
I also think we should get executions from the following heavy attacks:


  • deflects
  • zone attacks
  • running attacks



What is everyone else's take on this?

  • Would this be an improvement and make the game more fun?
  • Would more execution opportunities slow down combat in any way or create any other issues?
  • Are there any more execution opportunities you can think of?
  • Should ground executions give access to the regular execution animations or remain unique?



Remember guys, always maintain a constructive discussion.
