[GAMEPLAY] Executed by turret right after being hit by enemy

In the video you can see me, kindred, running to a suicidal rat. Right as Teemo is about to die; he accidentally stops running; making me able to smite him just in time to pick up the kill. Or not? Although I smited him with the True Damage smite; and my smite goes on cooldown for it; Teemo still gets executed. Needless to say we lost that game because of that. (Joke; although it might've changed a huge bit to get that early 300g)

I haven't reproduced the bug, and I don't think I will be able to; because it will require good timing to hit right before turrets impact; but why I consider this as a bug is because the smite deals instant damage; and it went on cooldown.

Kind regards. StealingDaPenta

This is not a bug. When smiting a champion, Challenging Smite doesn't actually do any damage up front, you need to attack the enemy champion for it's damage to apply. If all you do is smite the enemy champion with Challenging Smite, you're not doing anything "worthy" enough, according to the game, to get kill credit.
