For those that don't know, The devs updated Finishers. Before, Finishers did't give you the extra 100 damage from a knockdown enemy. On April 22nd, 2020. I killed a Lifeline with blue armor and finished her, did 44 damage to a wraith and died. The damage I had was over 300 damage (175+100+44) and not 200 (175+44). On April 23rd, 2020 which is today. I confirmed it. I landed on a Revenant, killed him and finished him. Left the lobby and had exactly 200 damage which was 100 + 100 = 200.This is great news as there is a reason to do finishers now. Finishers refills shield health and now gives you the extra thirst damage. Also, on twitter. The developers asked if people would buy exclusive FINISHERS over exclusive Sky Dives Emotes. This change is great news honestly. When I use Bangalore, I do more finishers than I do thirsting because Bangalore has smokes. My Bangalore is finally going to get a 3k badge at least.For those confused, thirsting down enemies counted for damage in late 2019. You have to deal flesh damage to the knockdown enemy and not the knockdown shield damage. Knockdown Shield Damage doesn't count towards damage done. So for example, if you killed a purple armor enemy and thirst them. That is 200+100=300 damage done. Now, if you killed a purple armor enemy and finished them, you will get 200+100=300 damage done and also refill shield health.Not many people know about this but I'm doing my best to inform as many people, streamers, content creators and pros out there who enjoy the game as much as I do. Have fun.

@Leo_the_Lion25 Thanks for the info. This is good development cause I usually thirst or finish instead of leaving them. Now I can see revenant or bloodhound’s (bought the quick kill one) and know I get dmg done with ‘em ;D

@Koochi-Q Exactly, I try my best to get the fast finishers. I have Wattson's and her's is 4 seconds. Same for Lifeline when she stabs you in the head. 4 seconds is also faster than a 5 second shield battery if you don't have fast heals.plus, I had games with Bangalore where I dropped 2k damage but finished 6 people inside smoke. Now if I do that again, it will be over 2600 damage or even 3k because I dropped 2400s with Bangalore many times. But doing finishers with her is safe because people cannot see me in the smoke.

@MandatoryIDtag yeah, finishers didn't count and it was the reason why i tried to shoot them instead of finishing them. I try my best to get as much damage if I can in a pub match because I'm still trying to drop 4k for main Legends. I dropped 3k once but now that finishers count. There will be times I'm just going to finish you to keep my shield battery. I have had problems were I lost a fight because I ran out of big heals. Finisher will change that gameplay greatly. Especially for Bangalore lol.

@Leo_the_Lion25 Oh wow, i didn't even notice that they wasn't giving me the hundred damage, this was informative twice over. XD

I posted a video on twitter for proof:https://twitter.com/LeotheLion25/status/1253313809793585152/video/1

@MandatoryIDtag ... wait what?! XD you didn’t know thirsting got you +100? XD

This was such a big deal since S3 or S4 (it came right in the middle of an event or slightly after one and everyone thought it was just bad coding till the devs said they intended it this way) and since then more ppl started thirsting. Especially at that time cause now if you played a 2K game, you could get a 3K one

@Koochi-Q No,I didn't know that finishers got me no damage before this patch. I just assumed they did...explains why i had less damage than i thought on a large number of occasions. I use finishers on basically everyone i can. XD
