This post comes after well played battle and finisher(almost)executed. My example: Playing as BangaloreAfter downing a player, commenced on using the finisher. She walks up to him pulls the smoke launcher down and shoots them in the head. Now at this point, you would assume the finisher is done. But no.The added seconds for her to stare at the opponent while turning around gets me shot and brought out of the finisher and killed. Why?She shot them in the face. They're dead. Why does her walking away from it have to count towards the death? It should be cut out.This is just one example of many on how these finishers should be shortened and redone to suit this fast paced game play.

Pro tip: Play Wraith and use the finisher where she teleports. You're actually hard to hit.Wraith > Pathfinder by the way.

Nothing to change, it's a "risk-reward" move.......You want to take a chance to fill your shields, pop a finisher......if not, don't 😕hrug:

@Wingmannedbro Yup I rarely use them because 1. if the player you're finishing has a mic, they 1. have been pinging your location ot their team and 2. are telling their team you're finishing them. So you're easy pickings and high priority target.I get the wanting to use them. But I really feel like they should be a high risk/high reward experience in the game.

@ColdHours Yeah there is great inequality in the finishers, some take longer than others, some make your character move evasive, others leave you rooted in place.My main gripe with them is that you cannot cancel them, I never use them for that reason alone.Anyway, here's my go to therapist again 🙂

@ColdHours Or you could just not do finishers. I rarely do unless I have to for a daily mission or something. But for the most part I avoid them. Arc star them and move on to kill/defend the area or repair.

That is not a viable answer. They're in the game to be used.
This discussion is how to improve on an already existing mechanic.

@ColdHours It's a really in your face thing and as such should be high risk.

Finishers cost 1200 crafting metals to unlock. If one does this. They should be able to pull them off in a reasonable manner.
The added walk away does not need to be included after final impact for it to count as a kill. You cannot change my mind on this.
Only @Wingmannedbro had any type of response that could be considered useful. The rest are just obnoxious.
Too bad I don't main either of them @Wingmannedbro ☹️

I agreed with the OP until this season when they made finishers recharge shield, now i think its perfectly balanced. As others have said, you risk the reward of finishing with a recharged purple shield!

@Jem450R Yeah, but it's situational. If one gets their hands on a certain gold armor piece. Which most of the time i only gain a purple.
I get the whole risk-reward argument. But as someone has pointed out, other legends finisher completions or animations make it easier. Which is not very balanced.
My argument is after the death blow. There is no need for a walk away animation. That part should be cut out.
