Kill Steals in League of Legends

Good afternoon guys, Am I the only one that is playing an EPIC match and is SUPER feeded killing everyone, like 25/2 (an example), then I do an amazing Quadra Kill (in my case with Talon) then a FREAKING JYNX ults there and steals my Penta? In another cases, I finish the game with like 2/3/30 and I do all the damage and someone comes and steals ALL MY KILLS. Gosh, I get so mad when games like this happen. It's your case too? Choose the option below, I would like to know if that happens with the comunnity of LoL. [slayer-jinx-catface]

I'm a Support Main. Having kills stolen is 90% of my job.

Support job is to give kills, that's true.

Well, the point of the game is to destroy the nexus, not to get the best KD.

I know but, I get so angry when that happens :P

Who cares? A kill is a kill.

The only time I get upset is if it's really early game and the kills are something I need because I'm behind and could easily get but my teammate is greedy, other than that it doesn't matter. If you can't get the penta on your own without needing a teammate to give the last kill to you then you don't deserve it.

Bro, I had my Q and I was 0.1 seconds away from Penta, and a giant rocket comes and steals...

Are you talking about a Jinx ult? Because that takes a couple of seconds to reach the target unless they use it point blank range

"Kill stealing" is not a thing in League of Legends.

For my opinion, it is.

Kill Stealing isn't a thing, its not an real issue. The goal of the game is to take Objectives and eventually the Nexus, not to kill your opponent. The only times "kill stealing" can be seen as an issue is if the Support is taking all the kills early game, Marksmen scale the best with Gold and it is generally a good idea to let them have as many kills as possible to snowball them. However even if the Support does get the kills, its not a huge issue because the Marksmen still gets free farm.

Another time it can be an issue is if someone is taking the all the kills, they need to start pressing their gold advantage around the map. If they don't do that, all they have done is made themselves strong for no reason while leaving the rest of the team still gold starved. An example of this would be like a 15/0 Lee Sin who doesn't gank or try to take Objectives, they have all the kills and if they die their team is shit out of luck until they can farm up for late game.

You all are right, but I freaking get so mad if I do 4000 dmg to a Darius, and my teammate auto attacks him to deal 50 dmg, and steals the kill.

That shouldn't make you mad, now 2 people get gold instead of just 1. Over all more team is being spread to your team and you are getting stronger as a group. Nowadays this is much more useful than before when it was possible for 1 or 2 people to just steamroll a game.

That situation you described is best case scenario, they only used an auto-attack to take the kill. It is much worse if they used long CD abilities like their ultimates, flash, or ignite. It is incredibly stupid to use an ability or summoner spell with a long CD on an enemy that is 100% dead.
