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 Talon) then a FREAKING Jinx 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.

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

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.

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

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.
