Finishers Was updated in a Hidden Hoxfix. They now count as damage done

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 finis...

@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 ... 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

        @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.
