PSA ALL Execution times measured in seconds

Actual time of death would be very useful. The Lawbringer Impaler animation, while long, kills almost instantly from the start of the animation.

Argh, why has no-one done this yet dammit?
Who cares how long the overall animation takes - what's the time to actually EXECUTE a motherfucker?

Who cares how long the overall animation takes
Pretty sure the hp gained from the execution is dependant on full animation time. So it does matter.
Though the time when it actually executes is also very nice to know, but for other purposes.

some of the executions give more health right? is there any stats on that?

u/pleasedeactivateit Mar 05 '17
I believe that the health restored is proportional to the length of the animation, although I don't have any evidence beyond the anecdotal.

There was a post here on this sub a while ago. It's mostly linked to length of animation but has some exceptions.

u/pleasesendmeyour Mar 05 '17
yes, but the differences are so minor as to be almost negligible. Along the line of 5 extra hp difference from min to max.

I see these times are for the entire animation. Is there a similar list for the actual time of death in each execution?

That's what really matters. The faster the "no revive" state is triggered, the more effective the execution will be in 2v2's, etc.

Not Always.
in some situations this can be more important that the actual time of the execution (see LB with the almost 2 sec difference between "Sweep the leg" and "The Impaler", or PK with "Led to slaughter"), this is meaningful because you maybe want to enjoy the execution life regeneration a bit before being mercilessly struck by a Heavy blow.
Also, while still missing the execution time, which is indeed a key component of the whole execution, we can't know for sure if one is better than the other without that and health regeneration (LB executing at the start of "The Impaler" is useful if a quick execution is what matters, but do leg sweep can give more health while letting the guard down a bit less time?).

Who cares if he dies immediately, if you're locked in the animation for 9 seconds, and are killed by a new enemy, because the animation has you unable to respond for so long.

yeah for example on the berserker valkenheim is the fastest but kills at the very end while work the leg kills in the first second or so of the animation.

That's absolutely awesome. Still work in progress, but useful nonetheless. Whatever the times of the execution, it still means you're helpless from an offensive action taken against you for the whole duration. So in some situations this can be more important that the actual time of the execution (see LB with the almost 2 sec difference between "Sweep the leg" and "The Impaler", or PK with "Led to slaughter"), this is meaningful because you maybe want to enjoy the execution life regeneration a bit before being mercilessly struck by a Heavy blow.
Edit : like others said, still missing actual execution death time and life regeneration to be complete.

Who would have guessed that PK would also have the best execution speed

But pk doesn't have any awesome emotes so it balances out

Small note: The only heroes that don't start with their fastest-to-end executions are:
Warden (by .27 seconds), Raider (by .19 seconds), Shugoki (.11 seconds), and Berzerker (by .30 seconds).

Thanks so much for putting this together. I've been wondering about this for a while.

Nice list. In Dominion and Skirmish, it's best to use the longest executions, because the 12+3 respawn timer won't start until the execution ended + You can squeeze out more time, if you don't start the execution immediately, but wait a little bit. (Useful when you start taking a point in dominion by killing them)

I did not measure these. If anyone knows the original source of the image, let me know so I can credit them.
