How do Pentas work EXACTLY?

Played an Ez game yesterday that went rather well, I was answering Jax top while my team won a 4v4 mid. Our Annie got a Quadrakill and I thought 'oh ok I can push this out then.' Jax disappeared. About 20 seconds after the quarda kill I suddenly heard PENTAKILL!!!!! which caught everyone by surprise.

So what is the formula they use for the pentakill timer? I've gotten would-be pentas closer together than that that just put me at 'unstoppable'

Multikills have a time limit to continue the streak, but you can qualify for a penta until one of the people you've already killed respawns.

Is it a MAX of?

I mean, like if I get a quadra kill with a few seconds between each and death timers are short, then get the 5th kill very quickly after the 4th (like say, within 2 seconds) but the first guy I killed just respawned, would I not get a penta because someone respawned even though his death timer was only like 15 seconds?

Multi-kill The act of killing several champions within 10 seconds of each other (30 seconds to Penta Kill after a Quadra Kill if no enemy respawns).

I heard it's valid until someone respawns

This game is fully bugued.

officially it's legit, because timer is extremly high for the 5th kill.

You have to kill all 5 enemy players. You cannot do this on twisted treeline because there are only 3 enemies.
