RE: KS Thoughts

Let me re-word my stance on KS since many of you like to skewer threads.

While I do agree that "kill participation" helps the team as a whole generate to more gold..... when you have a team8 who is already fed as fck and is FULL BUILD..... (22/9/13) and still feels the need to come take kills from you, leaving you with JUST assist gold when you're (4/4/10) and only halfway down your build (and you did 99% of the targets hp in dmg.)..... THAT is when I have a problem with it. THAT is when the line needs to be drawn on KS.

Yeah, kill+assist = more gold than just kill but when a guy is already full build, he doesn't need that kill gold at all, and pretty sure that at that point he's hurting his team, when they (being 4/4/10) were able to 1v1 an opponent and nearly had em killed when your team8 runs up and takes it, hindering the gold YOU would have gotten, by reducing it to just assist gold, when the kill gold he just got will sit there and not be used at all.

THAT is why I have a problem with ks. When the gold needs to be spread, it's fine, cause it IS a team game. I know this. But a guy who is at full build and will not be using gold anymore for the rest of the match, cept for maybe an elixir here and there, he hurts his team8s when he deliberately takes kills that he didn't earn, and leaving his team8s with just assist gold.

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read this. I'm done arguing with you knuckleheads. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

It's a discussion forum / thread. If you don't want to discuss topics, or learn, don't post threads.

Also, I'll just restate my earlier post. If someone takes the kill from me whem I've done most of the work, I'm fine with it. We both get gold, I get XP, and I deny the enemy XP and CS. I'm making a lot more gold than whtever that assist shows due to what the enemy is losing out on, and what I was able to do during the time when they were dead.

Team fights, all bets are off. You kill someone, good job. Idc how fed you are, we are supposed to win the fights so i really don't care about KS there either.

If your're at the point where one person is full build (even if you are not) the killgold still doesn't matter as much. At that point in the game, kills are much more valuable due to the death timers, the gold is just considered an extra at that point. Not to mention the kill could/should also allow for more mapcontrol and enable you to get other objectives and gold.

I agree. But, I feel it is a little more nuanced. It doesn't matter if the person taking the kill was full build or not. If you did 99% of the damage and then they just walk up and take the last hit, not doing any damage in that last 99% of the battle then, yes, they did KS. But, I also feel, they if they helped in taking the kill for most or all of the fight, then KS can't be called out. Because they were there for most or all of the battle, they have just as much right to the kill as you did. But, these are somewhat nuanced things that people tend to ignore.
