Taking kills as a support vs securing the kill

Hexs Fortune··2 votes·1,094 views

There are countless times an enemy manages to get away due to the support stopping his attacks to give the kill to his adc. Isn't it better to secure the kill rather than risk the enemy getting away?

Bah, there's a difference. If me as an ADC is on top of that enemy trying to run away, then my support literally last hits when he is low, that is KS'ing. But If the adc is out of range and the enemy is running, then of course the support should step in. Or at least give the ADC some MS to catch that fleeing opponent.

yes. A kill with an assist = 450 gold for your team A kill without an assist = 300 gold

which sounds better?

Ksing doesn't even matter. As long as you set the enemy behind by killing them then that's ok.

Yes just take the kill. Especially if anyone is in danger of dying. Its better off to have a support get a kill and then put the enemy adc behind in cs then have the enemy adc get a kill.

If you think that a support should go 0/6/25 in a game is more important than them securing a kill even if they get it, then you need to uninstall league. Because you have failed to cooperate with your team and you are just a spoiled brat that is a tilt-disease on other players.

I've lost countless kills due to trying to give them to someone else. After losing that much you begin to realize that it is much better to just have fun and secure kills.

If you can give a carry the kill without any risk, it is generally beneficial to do so.

Otherwise, just make sure your opponent dies. Assist gold, free-farm and map pressure are far better than the enemy escaping alive.
