As you all know there is this perk in the skill tree that let's you perform critical assassinations which deal more damage that regular ones. To perform it you have to hold the assassination button down instead of pushing it briefly (at least on controller). In almost every of your assassination attempts you want to do as much damage as possible or at best eliminate the target, and in the rare cases where you want the delinquent to live you use the non leathal takedown anyway.
So I wonder why the preffered command got such an awkward control option. Wouldn't it be easier to let the ability exchange regular assassinations for critical ones entirely so you don't need to wait a second before the strike is triggered?
This is something that has been bothering me since release but because I recently switched to a more stealthy playstyle I had a lot more instances where this ruined a perfectly fine assassination attempt. Especially when you sneak up behind a moving target or when you try to hit an enemy during slow motion after he detected you. In cases like this it can be especially hard to sustain the closeness to a target and the Icon needs only to flicker for a heartbeat and the command is interrupted.
I tried to change the controller settings but nothing worked so far. I haven't seen any thread about this, so is it just me and did someone figure out how to change the controls to maybe put critical assassinations on a separate button or something like that?
If not, this can be considered a improvement proposal for future patches or the next game to all you dear mods :)
