Is kicking/pushing someone off a ledge the most satisfying kill method?

I laughed at this, but I also feel so fucking bad about the writing.
"Stop a person from committing suicide because that will just disturb the peace," says the officer.
Like, this message is messed up, and suicidal thoughts are not a joke.
But yeah, video games I guess.
Force Pushing fools off a ledge is my favourite thing about Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order, especially when it's multiple enemies at once.
I dig it too. I'm also partial to backstabs and impalement.

Jedi fallen order. Force push plus group of enemies on a ledge. Simply the best.
Or maybe pulling someone over the edge as you climb up from below.

Nah, direct hits with projectile weapons that fire in an arc, like grenade launchers or the Flak Cannon from Unreal.
That said, Tenchu/Shinobido/Sekiro stealth kills are close. One of my main gripes with Ghost of Tsushima is that the stealth kill animations are somehow unsatisfying. Especially the aerial ones are a bit janky in animation too.
Oh, and the Steel on Bone and Obliteration technques in Ninja Gaiden 3. Fuck, that game is cathartic as hell.

I think telling two people to just go fight an owlbear and that yeah, I'd totally back them up then leaving the den as soon as they aggroed it was more satisfying.

One thing I like about Fenyx is that whenever you kill an enemy you basically yeet them back into the stone age. There's something comical about seeing a 1000lb bear flying off backwards into the horizon when you land the killing blow.
Personally though you can't beat the satisfaction of a stealth headshot with a bow and arrow.

That sounds hilarious. Like a modern version of Crash Bandicoot's yeeting.
Okay killing a motherfucker with their own weapon is up there as well. That was always great in the early Assassin's Creed games as well.
This is great. I really need to get around to playing Hitman.
That's not fun or creative enough, my top 3 are:
1. Counterattack after a parry, especially if it's difficult to perform (like Sekiro deathblows)
2. Throwing/kicking a fool into wall spikes or laser wire.
3. Mind controlling an enemy and making them kill themselves.

Dying light might have done it best in terms of kicking enemies down fron high places. The way their skulls crush if they land just right due to mushy zombie bodies is just... ooo mama.
In For Honor, it's possibly the lamest.
In general it's a pretty good feeling, but in For Honor it feels like ringouts negate a fair fight. Some characters have significant advantages at ringing out than others, and some stages played into those advantages making them very unbalanced. One hit or throw could kill you.
The novelty of ringing out wears out quick when it comes at the cost of competitive balance.

I love doing this in Paladins using the champion Torvald. His ultimate move is an energy blast that can send the entire opposing team flying if aimed and timed properly. It can literally turn the entire match around for your team if pulled off. Certain maps were practically designed around it. lol
