Why in the name of god people don't find Ks-ing a bad thing?!

If you Ks somebody's kill , they get less gold , you get more gold especially if there is a reward for enemy, your teammate dont have gold and gets less rewards for just helping, finally you make them unable to buy items > scale off and proc some important runes if necesarry and overall you make them fall flat

ks-ing is bad , change my mind.

Getting an assist is worth 150 gold, and the kill itself is worth 300 gold. If your team does not get an assist, your team gets 300 gold. if your team gets an assist, your team gets 450 gold. Therefore, when/if the only way to secure an assist is to take the finishing blow, it's actually advantageous to do so so your team has a larger gold advantage.

Exceptions exist (such as giving a 500+ gold bounty to a Marksman or scaling mage), but it is generally advantageous to ensure that you get at least one assist per kill, even if that means stealing the kill.

Unless there is 0% chance of them escaping I will always shoot until the enemy dies. You're only missing out on 150g if you only get the assist and that will get offset by the free time you get to farm the lane while your opponent is gone.

It's a team game. In some cases, my ks will get the team more gold.

At worst, it's a neutral change. Yes, it's true that gold is more important to go on the carries, but it's not like gold is bad for a support. If they don't know for sure you have flash or are in range, etc, it can be worth it to ks from a team perspective.

And, even if it wasn't, let's be real; the grading system takes kills into account, and people are selfish. So sometimes, they're gonna take that kill even when they know they don't need to. That's just people being people.

But when I "ks," it's usually a complete accident. I'm trying to help damage the guy to bring him down faster so we can get more time on an objective, and they happen to crit right before my auto lands. It's a bummer, but it's really not that big a deal either.

You shoot until they're dead. Any other thought is cute... BUT ITS WRONG!!!!

there's a difference between someone going 'last hit irelia' with dark harvens and a lich bane only existing to ks and someone in a fight taking the kill

Scenario 1

Me jungler [15/0/10] Allied ADC [0/5/2] Enemy being killed by me solo 90% of the HP. [5/1/3 worth +500g]

If the allied ADC KS's. I'm happy, he just received and influx of 800g I still got 150 and at this point I want him in the game instead of me getting more ahead solo. At this point I can already 1v3 why not get my ADC online too?

Scenario 2

If the game is even or even FB. If I'v done 99% of the damage and someone shows up at the last second and takes it's. It sucks that I got less gold, but the team got +150 or even 200 for FB.

In both these cases KSing is better. Did I change your mind?

Gold for the gold throne.

Gold on me as the only player that I can control > gold on you.
