Pentakill Etiquette [Poll]

My IGN Sucks·11/23/2014, 4:29:39 PM·3 votes·943 views

Was playing an ARAM yesterday as Jinx when I got a legit Quadra and the last person got away. He/she came back 10-15 seconds later so I could get the Penta.

That got me thinking....If you are that last person when someone on the enemy team gets a legit Quadra, do you try to escape and survive or do you go back into the fight so that he/she can get the Penta? Does your answer change depending on the game mode/type?

The Riot poll doesn't allow for voting for more than one option, so I'm linking a Straw Poll with the options I wanted to have. (Feel free to drop a comment if you don't want to go to the poll) http://strawpoll.me/3048817

I'm in the 'Penta's should be earned, not given' camp.

Gotta make em work for it

I either kill them to end it

If I know I can't kill them I just escape

and failing that, I purposely run into one of their teammates and force them to kill me

If its a BS champ who always gets pentas like kat, akali or riven I try my hardest NOT to give the penta, otherwise sure I'd give it to them. Or if they've been toxic the entire game. I'm probably pretty biased to the champions I give pentas to, I personally enjoy seeing draven/morde/vlad since they were my first champions so I'd probably give them pentas. Or if a support happened to get a quadra I'd definitely give the penta just for the luls.

If it is not a champion who can easily/normally get a penta then yes, I always give them the free kill for the penta. It's just nice to do. People just aren't nice to me. I had 2 penta's either stolen on purpose or denied on purpose. One as Zyra, my TF teleported in right as my plant was about to kill the last guy (mind you my plant had PLENTY of time left and this champion was literally no health) and killed him with an auto attack.

If it's pretty much GG after that quadra you should give them the penta

If there's comeback potential then no way

I got a quadra once as Twitch and teh enmy blitz ran away and came back to give it to me. Depends on the champ I think. Kat never deserves penta.
