nope, that's how it works.

riot doesn't have the technology to one-shot champions (unless you're a rengar)

so what they simply did was make the execution deal 100% of the target's health as true damage. Ok till now, but, there's the problem of the shields, which go beyond the target's health.

So they added cycles which increased the damage.

There was a time when the execution didn't deal that much damage, and because of that, having enough shield let you escape the execution. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEeoUj0RYRU
