Add some archers in and the side with the spear gets free shielding for 2 volleys.

Okay, but ping based things are going to affect the game more than that will, it's quite minor.

It just makes rage less effective than it should be. In the case of OvC it's actually really annoying. I don't think they should be in the game at all.

Hope this hasn't happened to only me, in a laggy game the spear and jug finisher was going off then at the end it looped again.

I think they should not affect the game. The animation should be an overlay that is transparent and happens over the gameplay instead of changing it.

How would that work?

arrows would go through the animation not be tanked by it.

Then that create the problem of losing a shield for the player whose spearton is doing the animation, leaving units behind vulnerable.

what no, you're all wrong

The spearton acts like kill animations never existed and the arrow does likewise, and the animation is played over the top of the action like a video.

That'd just be annoying.

How about no kill anim. and there. Problem solved.

^this. It's annoying losing a game to animations that give invulnerability

waste of really good animations though

at least transforming it into a cosmetic leaves it in the game

Well it affects the gameplay, so I would say no. Even the slightest of hp can turn the tide between a win or a loss.

Put them into the campaign. Then it's not "OMG MUH ANIMS ARE WASTED THEY MUST STAY IN TEH GAME!!!eleven!!" and they will no longer affect multiplayer balance.

Here's an idea. Sword dies by spear. On the top of the screen shows killing animation. No? okay. ;-;
