KS?

is KSing an actual thing in league? If the top laner (tank) roamed to mid (when I was the mid-laner) and I got the kills, is that considered a KS if he tanked all the damage? It was 2 to 1 trade (favoring us) in kills, but is that really worth getting mad over?

They reported me at the end for KSing and being toxic (although I just muted them after they started getting mad over me KSing) If KS is a thing in league, then how do you know who deserves the kills and what not?

KS is really only a thing if you're going out of your way to snipe kills and avoid being useful to the team. Otherwise it's just people whining bc they don't understand the game. If the enemy is dead you're building advantage (increased farm/exp, taking towers/drag/baron, power play w/ 5v4 to get more kills). It doesn't matter who got the kill as long as you take advantage of it, but some players will cry if they don't get handed kills on a platter bc they want to get more gold and have fun stomping people. Personally I like Annie support and I let my ADC know I intend to take as many kills as possible so I can build AP and we can keep getting more kills. They will get tower gold and a huge farm/exp advantage and will be able to crush lane if we do it right, but I fully intend to take kills and if they have a problem w/ that they should have duo'd w/ someone who wants to play a passive support, or be comfortable w/ me roaming to other lanes to kill them and the ADC having to play 2v1.

well I mean no. youre kind of being a turd if youre like the support and purposely taking kills from the ADC, but in general its in the best interest of the team for midlaner and ADC to be fed.

in your situation you were fine if you took the kill as mid.

Its kinda a thing. But seeing that he roamed into your lane, as long as it you didnt only last hit the enemy its not really a KS. Even so it is not too much to get mad over unless someone is intentionally stealing all of the kills.
