This works both ways. Most people who defend deathblow with passion are usually die-hard rager players who played few rager enemies. Both of these groups see the skill from only one side.

"Extreme luck". This is why we have hundreds of logs showing that deathblow changes outcome of the fight to opposite.

Actually, this log is perfect example of how unprepared warrior vs rager fight goes on. 95% of such fights are like that.
Also, what do you mean by "deserved to die"? What does it have to do with power of deathblow?

It happens quite often and more often when rager fights unprepared warrior.

Yes, it is sure quite nice to have power that allows you to kill opponent by pure luck when you are near death and your opponent is in perfect health.

>Else it would be just sure death.

It actually gives a rager reason to fight people who are not their enemies and more often flee from people they are supposed to fight.

Deathblow can be designed to be more balanced and more interesting than it is now. Nobody just wants to do it.
