Title. Teamfight breaks out and your teammate gets a sweet quadra, but you somehow last hit the last guy. Do i deserve to be reported? Giving a penta is really a nice gesture, but also if u refuse to do damage to the enemy that could be considered as assisting enemy team. So please, guys, tell me is penta stealing acceptable?

Someone must explain to me the entire concept of "kill steals" and how it's bad. The group kills an enemy, they all get gold. The enemy has one less player on the field. Even in group situations, if you all hit the enemy, you get a score. Assists or kills. Why do people focus only on solo kills in a team game?

Oh, nevermind. I don't want to know.

it isn't stealing. if he didn't get the kill it wasn't his kill. I mean usually if the kill is easily free for them ill let them have it sometimes but other then that im just going to kill who i can lol. No it isn't reportable if you take the 5th kill

I do it on occasion :x Sometimes it's intentional and sometimes I don't care ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Does it make me a bad person? Heck yeah! Is it reportable? No, it isn't.

I'm not toxic; I just like getting kills ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

It is acceptable, whether intentional or not. If it was just because they wanted a kill, that's rude, but not punishment worthy. Especially because it could easily have been an accident.

The ONLY time it could be technially reportable would be just part of a list of tons of griefing actions that a player committed in a game, and even then it wouldnt contribute at all to punishment worthyness.

"Penta-stealing" is just a term that people throw around when they are salty about losing out on that glorious but ultimately useless stat of pentakills. The game is a team game and the objective of the game is to work together, kill the enemies (together), and ultimately break their nexus. You participated in the fight and ended up getting a kill. The guy may be salty about losing out on that pentakill but you are not at fault for anything at all. You stuck to the main objective of the game and came out victorious.

It's always acceptable, even if it's intentional. You might get flamed or reported for it depending on the attitude(s) of your teammates, but you won't get punished by the system.
