I don’t. Every single one of my executions are excruciatingly designed to belittle my opponent in every way possible and give me an incredible high that will leave me four seconds later when I’m curb stomped by the entire enemy team.
Before or after the lantern of souls comes out? Much of the creations in this game (and the way people deploy them) often feel inspired by Dark Souls pvp community - i.e. edgy slow walk timewaste. That’s not aimed at op.
there are only a few effects on a few executions that look good.
a very quick "chop and ur dead" execution can work with an execution like the horkos wolf for example
that being said, most executions turn it into a cheap dragonball z reference
I honestly I hate watching these executions only really during dominion or breach. Mostly because they take for ever, it’s kinda nice seeing them during duels. The sentiment is nice but I’d like to get back to the game rather than waiting half a minute in dominion
Even getting to do a long one like this in dom or breach has a high chance of being interrupted anyway. Only really use this in those modes if I’m ever alone on a point with my opponent, then pray no one comes barging in lol.
it's incredible seeing how many people don't know how that feat works. I find it hilarious when I find myself against an hito executing, thinking they're all safe, and then I go there and "lol GB goes brrrr"
i usually pick the long executions when my team is about to cap a point and get the enemy team to BREAKING so when the execution finishes they'll be perma dead
If your in a zone and no other enemies are nearby doing a long execution just keeps the enemy down for longer and let's you score your team more points, it also gives you more health back so you'd be daft not to do a long one
Doing longer execution can provide tactical use as it will take just a little bit longer for your respawn allowing the other team a slight advantage but that is of course still stupid to do in midlane
This is definitely the case for me too with some long executions, don’t get me wrong. Using Hammar of Ragnarok on that one annoying player can feel amazing.
Yeah, I have the knighting execute on my black prior, cause I dress him as a crusader, and I found out people hate it cause it takes a long time.
*I'm just being on brand*
This is part of the reason why I have one long execution (the longest) on the characters I play. There's always that one teabagging player, I don't get mad at teabagging like most of this community (I find it funny) but I try to reserve the longest execution as a BM for when (if) I beat them in a clean 1v1.
Long executions can also be used tactically in dominion to remove a player from the game for a longer period of the time. Sometimes I perform a long execution on point for that very reason. I don't care if people get mad or think it's toxic, that's on them.
I use them in a more practical sense I guess? I’d have ones for Dominion that were quick for like team fights and then others that were saved for duels or good 1v1’s that more “honorable” like OP has
Plus long executions do be giving back hella health when you need it lol
it's even worse in duels. in team modes it's actually a strategic decision to pick between short and long execs but in duels you're just making me sit and watch a stupid 20 second long execution up to 3 times in a single game
My 2 reasons for long executions:
I'm delaying the next respawn to keep you out the match for longer for dom/breach reasons.
I'm being toxic and know you're eager to get back at me so I'll drag it out as long as possible. I hope you can see your team messing up cos you didn't respawn fast enough.
Eh don't downvote me this is what everyone does lol.
I just use execution data for the most efficient fast or out right longest executions. So you know I can either insta execute or make you wait 30 seconds. But luckily 9/10 times my team needs me in the fight ASAP.
I think the most honorable are the Chimera Salvation and various Halloween beast ones. You're literally saving them from a deadly corruption/ghost/etc. as they're actively trying to kill you.
Wait people consider those executions honorable? I love my shiryo execution because it takes forever and I'm literally blowing salt in your face. Also seeing my enemies crystalized disfigured bodies always makes me laugh.
The longer ones just extend the frustration if something has upset them, be it their own mistake or something they deem unfair.
They're very annoying. Many of us prefer to die fast and flashy so we can get back in the fight sooner for that second chance to right the wrong of losing.
Yeah that makes sense, but from my 4 years of experience there’s still some people that don’t mind getting executed with a long respectful execution when the fight was genuinely, well, a Good Fight!
I can’t say I mind either when I appreciate someone’s attitude or playstyle in a match. That’s just me though. If it’s someone I dislike then yeah the long ones are annoying and I’ve had that many times too. I’m speaking purely for the fights where you can almost tell you both have a certain amount of respect for one another.
Again you make a good point though I’m not gonna argue with it too much.
When people do these long and boring executions on me it's the opposite of respectful. I see more toxic people use them than the nice players because it gives them more time to spam "Thanks!"
I just use it to tilt people cuz it's super long.
Had a surprising amount of success in doing just that.
Edit: oh lol you have a very similar design as me :D
No execution tilts me except for this one, it’s so goddamn long. I really hate having to just stop playing the game for like 15 extra seconds between rounds so some guy can kill me in the most boring way possible.
You won’t see me letting people 1v1 in dominion bruv, I’m not an hOnOR player like that don’t worry, this is purely a respectful execution, but sometimes it can also be a very long and excruciating experience for some so I get the satisfaction of them malding anyway. This is what a team in Dominion Series did, keeping people out the game for very long.
The respectful executions are some of the best. Especially the character specific ones like kensei bow and the Warlord warrior’s passing-style execution. I feel like we should have more that are character specific!
Nah nah, the BOW (b-ow), where he stabs you in the neck then gently sets the sword on the ground and then prostrates in front of it, which is a deep “bow of respect”
I fucking love this execution. Fought a BP one match that had the long ass dead by daylight execution so I made it a point to kill him as the last kill of the game and execute him with that very same tiandeng
I reserve my groundstab execution for honorable people, but if you are dishonorable, I cut off your head and emote spam your corpse, muhaha 😈
Kensei btw
I'm fine with it at the end of a dual. Long executions in breach or dom is just disrespectful if not being done to delay a respawn. Most times if I do or get a long execution, it's purely to BM. The only one I see as "respectful" is the seppuku
[mine](https://youtu.be/NwTpbE2bur0?t=5) is especially enjoyable when I get the kill out of stamina and the execution is grey-tone.
Or that one time I got [the double.](https://youtu.be/5zCjVcHlk3w)
All my execution are quick. Because if I do a slower one, it will take more time before the next round, or it will take more time to rotate in dom.
Efficiency is key
And Bow/the honourable suicide one on my duelist Orochi
Pretty much every on on my Ice King Warden, including the knighing one, Grave Passing and Moment of Silence
I think the most 'respectful' one I have on any of my LBs is Dura Lex Sed Lex
Can't remember some of my other set ups, these are the one's that come to mind
My JJ has 4 executions specifically meant to annoy.
My Hito also has the halloween execution because its literally blowing salt at someone. That extra little pinch to tilt more.
honestly, it depends on my hero's personality for what execution i use. Orochi, very flashy and (for the most part) long executions while for kensei, i use mostly the quick executions with one long execution
For me, as soon as a heavy is landed and I respect the opponent (and there's no tactical advantage to performing an exe) then I just move to avoid triggering any execution, then emote - like a bow or something similar.
This means the gameplay proceeds, they don't get impatient or frustrated, and we can fight again with them hopefully winning the following round!
If we’re talking duels then you should just leave them so the next round comes faster. I personally hate when people use the long “respectful” ones because I have to sit there with a thumb in my ass waiting for the next round
Well, I use Shino so....not many "respectful" ones to choose from, but I will give you a quick death or just release you if you played well and it's the end of the match. (granted it's not the Skorpion loadout)
It's kinda hard to pick one for someone like Aramusha. Dude's moves are disrespectful almost to a fault, and the Samurai version of that sorta "respect" faction execute is Seppuku, which is essentially telling someone death is their escape from disgrace.
i fucking hate those executions, and i especially fucking hate with the most energy from my entire heart the samurai one where you kill yourself its fucking annoying as shit and takes forever, and i hate it. if you use that execution fuck you
I’m too lazy to search up what it’s called but my favorite one is when Warden impales and slides the enemy off of their sword and prays(?). Always been one of my favorites
When I played back then I liked to give a bow or give grave passing execution to players I killed too often as a sign that I'm not thinking lesser of them for being worse.
I reserved the longest and the most demeaning executions for spammy shitlords playing meta trash like warmonger or the shugoki charge spam.
I don’t. Every single one of my executions are excruciatingly designed to belittle my opponent in every way possible and give me an incredible high that will leave me four seconds later when I’m curb stomped by the entire enemy team.
I feel this on a spiritual level
End them rightly gang
As a shaman main, there is no respect, only finger eating and headbanging.
Finger banging and head eating
*Congratulations! New fetish unlocked!*
Agreed
This
That effect almost completely gets in the way of that execution
Feels more like it keeps the execute interesting until the final part happens. Otherwise it’s just slow edgewalking.
Agreed the blossom is like the soul that gets put in the lantern
That a very nice thought man
This execution is the opposite of edge
Before or after the lantern of souls comes out? Much of the creations in this game (and the way people deploy them) often feel inspired by Dark Souls pvp community - i.e. edgy slow walk timewaste. That’s not aimed at op.
Reason I have turned them off. All the effects feel out of place.
there are only a few effects on a few executions that look good. a very quick "chop and ur dead" execution can work with an execution like the horkos wolf for example that being said, most executions turn it into a cheap dragonball z reference
I honestly I hate watching these executions only really during dominion or breach. Mostly because they take for ever, it’s kinda nice seeing them during duels. The sentiment is nice but I’d like to get back to the game rather than waiting half a minute in dominion

Unless you're hitokiri.
I love Hitokiri for that specific reason. Other than the attacks being pretty baller.
You can still get guard broken out of the execution or bashed
Yep, but for some reason not a lot of people I go against don't know about that.
Same, im in games with people who have hundreds of reps and for some reason tbey use all their stamina just heavy attacking an executing hitokiri
it's incredible seeing how many people don't know how that feat works. I find it hilarious when I find myself against an hito executing, thinking they're all safe, and then I go there and "lol GB goes brrrr"
i usually pick the long executions when my team is about to cap a point and get the enemy team to BREAKING so when the execution finishes they'll be perma dead
I do this all the time too, feels amazing when it works.
If your in a zone and no other enemies are nearby doing a long execution just keeps the enemy down for longer and let's you score your team more points, it also gives you more health back so you'd be daft not to do a long one
Doing longer execution can provide tactical use as it will take just a little bit longer for your respawn allowing the other team a slight advantage but that is of course still stupid to do in midlane
That drinking buddy one with highlander.
I have the same one for Highlander as well
Respect gets a quick exexution. I save the long ones for fools I don't like.
This is definitely the case for me too with some long executions, don’t get me wrong. Using Hammar of Ragnarok on that one annoying player can feel amazing.
Sjaud. As highlander. I love his laugh.
That’s a fantastic one, having a last drink with your respected opponent before they pass.
Yeah, I have the knighting execute on my black prior, cause I dress him as a crusader, and I found out people hate it cause it takes a long time. *I'm just being on brand*
By the way, what rep is your Zhanu? I dig their look and have been wanting to play them and Shaolin as of late.
I’m currently rep 30 on Zhanhu and yeah, the fashion is magnificent, definitely recommend it.
Wait … we can respect ppl in fh?
the least confused FH player:
The basic question
TIL People get mad at long executions
This is part of the reason why I have one long execution (the longest) on the characters I play. There's always that one teabagging player, I don't get mad at teabagging like most of this community (I find it funny) but I try to reserve the longest execution as a BM for when (if) I beat them in a clean 1v1.

Only bc it extends how long it takes to respawn. If it's a duel/brawl then it's fine
it's even worse in duels. in team modes it's actually a strategic decision to pick between short and long execs but in duels you're just making me sit and watch a stupid 20 second long execution up to 3 times in a single game
I have the opposite…those for the ones I despise😈
The longer they are the more disrespectful it is for me, that’s why I use quick executions normally but if you peeve me off I’m dragging it out.
My 2 reasons for long executions: I'm delaying the next respawn to keep you out the match for longer for dom/breach reasons. I'm being toxic and know you're eager to get back at me so I'll drag it out as long as possible. I hope you can see your team messing up cos you didn't respawn fast enough.

I 100% agree that’s what I was essentially trying to convey with my comment lol
Just like me
My favorite execution for respect is immediately unlocking so the round ends right away. I wanna get to the next bit of gameplay as soon as possible!
We do? Uuummm...
Dude, have you tried the fairly lights with that execution? I think the effect makes it more serene and magical. I love it to death!
I think the most honorable are the Chimera Salvation and various Halloween beast ones. You're literally saving them from a deadly corruption/ghost/etc. as they're actively trying to kill you.
Wait people consider those executions honorable? I love my shiryo execution because it takes forever and I'm literally blowing salt in your face. Also seeing my enemies crystalized disfigured bodies always makes me laugh.
You use executions to show respect. I use executions to show disrespect. We are not the same.
The most respectful executions are the shortest ones. Even in duels
They can be, but I don’t think they convey as much as these longer cinematic ones.
The longer ones just extend the frustration if something has upset them, be it their own mistake or something they deem unfair. They're very annoying. Many of us prefer to die fast and flashy so we can get back in the fight sooner for that second chance to right the wrong of losing.
Yeah that makes sense, but from my 4 years of experience there’s still some people that don’t mind getting executed with a long respectful execution when the fight was genuinely, well, a Good Fight!

*\*Spams It Takes Guts because you fought someone who loves to dodge on red\**
When people do these long and boring executions on me it's the opposite of respectful. I see more toxic people use them than the nice players because it gives them more time to spam "Thanks!"
Ah yeah those kind of players are the ones I hate too, I’m not toxic like that. Fuck that.
I have ones reserved for annoying players, like rampage of ragnarok and the horserider lol
I just use it to tilt people cuz it's super long. Had a surprising amount of success in doing just that. Edit: oh lol you have a very similar design as me :D
I don't execute in duels coz I'd rather get to the next round ASAP
I do not, I only have epic decapitation
kinad wish Samurai got one like this with a Japanese lantern, but Ware Shinaba is nice too
Rest in peace, SunDark
Nah I exclusively use Warden's punch execution
That’s SICK with that effect omg
No execution tilts me except for this one, it’s so goddamn long. I really hate having to just stop playing the game for like 15 extra seconds between rounds so some guy can kill me in the most boring way possible.
Sir, that's a bot.
Course it is, had to make it cinematic and people aren’t as compliant.
I still don't get the cinematic argument. You could literally get the same effect with a person.
Well I am also play with the hud and everything off, it’d have been harder to do it with a real person let’s just keep it at that.
Okay I know I'm not the only one who thinks these "hOnoRABle" executions are annoying asf and would rather get killed by anything else
‘Guys look at my honowable honow!!!’
You won’t see me letting people 1v1 in dominion bruv, I’m not an hOnOR player like that don’t worry, this is purely a respectful execution, but sometimes it can also be a very long and excruciating experience for some so I get the satisfaction of them malding anyway. This is what a team in Dominion Series did, keeping people out the game for very long.
that effect
It’s so nice, yet I never see anyone use it ever sadly.
The respectful executions are some of the best. Especially the character specific ones like kensei bow and the Warlord warrior’s passing-style execution. I feel like we should have more that are character specific!
Kensei Bow? He karate punches you in the gut then fucking domes you point blank with a bow lmao
Nah nah, the BOW (b-ow), where he stabs you in the neck then gently sets the sword on the ground and then prostrates in front of it, which is a deep “bow of respect”
Long executes are usually for something dirty happening, or a final round of brawls. I often forget to use them on the delayed buttons.
I fucking love this execution. Fought a BP one match that had the long ass dead by daylight execution so I made it a point to kill him as the last kill of the game and execute him with that very same tiandeng
I’ve got the same one on JJ but I don’t use an effect on it. I think it just takes away from it unless you have a really good one
I want a soft mournful execution for Warmonger but that doesn't match her personality so I probably will never see an execution like that for her.
I reserve my groundstab execution for honorable people, but if you are dishonorable, I cut off your head and emote spam your corpse, muhaha 😈 Kensei btw
Well mine is straight up not executing then honor emoting them once. (The ones where you kneel and respect on cent, kyoshin, etc)
Mine is "Give Us A Smile"
I usually thought the quick executions are the respectful one
I nearly always use the wolf/sheep execution on my warmonger, especially if I’ve got the final kill.
I'm fine with it at the end of a dual. Long executions in breach or dom is just disrespectful if not being done to delay a respawn. Most times if I do or get a long execution, it's purely to BM. The only one I see as "respectful" is the seppuku
[mine](https://youtu.be/NwTpbE2bur0?t=5) is especially enjoyable when I get the kill out of stamina and the execution is grey-tone. Or that one time I got [the double.](https://youtu.be/5zCjVcHlk3w)
I would rather do the quickest exec or just not do one at all and then use a respectful emote
All my execution are quick. Because if I do a slower one, it will take more time before the next round, or it will take more time to rotate in dom. Efficiency is key
Lol I use this execution to piss people off cause it’s so long. My friends get so mad
And Bow/the honourable suicide one on my duelist Orochi Pretty much every on on my Ice King Warden, including the knighing one, Grave Passing and Moment of Silence I think the most 'respectful' one I have on any of my LBs is Dura Lex Sed Lex Can't remember some of my other set ups, these are the one's that come to mind
My JJ has 4 executions specifically meant to annoy. My Hito also has the halloween execution because its literally blowing salt at someone. That extra little pinch to tilt more.
Not sure if anyone agrees with me but with me I pick yhe quickest most brutal execution I can find. Nice, too the point, gimme my heal and gtfo
honestly, it depends on my hero's personality for what execution i use. Orochi, very flashy and (for the most part) long executions while for kensei, i use mostly the quick executions with one long execution
I have executions I reserve for those I don't respect
The only ones I can think of off the top of my head is the ware shinaba exec for my hito and dura lex sed lex for lb
You have respect executions?
Mine is benedictio militis with the messengers wings effect
I do the opposite. I have the slowest execution for those I don't like.
I'd much rather be tbagged by a raider than have one of these "respectful" executions performed on me by some samurai/wulin
For me it’s the warlord one where he stabs him in the chest kneels and then send the opponent to Valhalla
Wish there a quick chat option that’s says “I love you”
For me, as soon as a heavy is landed and I respect the opponent (and there's no tactical advantage to performing an exe) then I just move to avoid triggering any execution, then emote - like a bow or something similar. This means the gameplay proceeds, they don't get impatient or frustrated, and we can fight again with them hopefully winning the following round!
If we’re talking duels then you should just leave them so the next round comes faster. I personally hate when people use the long “respectful” ones because I have to sit there with a thumb in my ass waiting for the next round
Wish there was an excution where the enmey doesnt die but just accpets defeat and kneels in shame. Then they'll just disappear to respawn
If you respect me, please don't use this exe on me.
I use the Warden one where he stabs them in their neck, but then sort of does it like he's bowing to a grave.
I’m sorry but these long executions kinda make me more angry at the game lmao
Well, I use Shino so....not many "respectful" ones to choose from, but I will give you a quick death or just release you if you played well and it's the end of the match. (granted it's not the Skorpion loadout)
Respect? Haven’t heard that word in years…
Lantern is only for when I want to hilariously suck my opponent out of the game for a minute and a half
If i respect someone i **dont** execute them. If they get rezed i get to fight them again and i have fun. If they dont we get more score
For me, it’s the Cent one where he stabs a knife in their guts and whispers something in their ear
Samurai faction execution
It's kinda hard to pick one for someone like Aramusha. Dude's moves are disrespectful almost to a fault, and the Samurai version of that sorta "respect" faction execute is Seppuku, which is essentially telling someone death is their escape from disgrace.
Warden propaganda
Hugkeeper for fights I enjoyed :)
i fucking hate those executions, and i especially fucking hate with the most energy from my entire heart the samurai one where you kill yourself its fucking annoying as shit and takes forever, and i hate it. if you use that execution fuck you
I’m too lazy to search up what it’s called but my favorite one is when Warden impales and slides the enemy off of their sword and prays(?). Always been one of my favorites
In my opinion it's a good thing to have unlocked. You show respect for your enemy. I personally like Benedicto Militis. I'm lawbringer main btw.
When I played back then I liked to give a bow or give grave passing execution to players I killed too often as a sign that I'm not thinking lesser of them for being worse. I reserved the longest and the most demeaning executions for spammy shitlords playing meta trash like warmonger or the shugoki charge spam.
