User blog comment:Fbhuvjhvbnvfdkv hfd/KS - Kill steal or Kill secured?/@comment-5266525-20140514032718

How the hell do you remember your username when you log in. :P

I'm of the opinion that killstealing does exist. The reason why you disagree with me is shown with this statement of yours:

"I fail to understand why, in a team game, players feel that they deserve all of the kills."

Now this is telling me two things. One, you're strawmanning the argument of killstealing right off the bat by assuming that it's always used regardless of how a kill actually panned out. I don't really think that applies to too many players in serious games.

The second thing it tells me is that you're of the opinion that, since winning a game is a team effort, the satisfaction an individual player gets is completely irrelevant. This is absolutely ridiculous considering the vast majority of players in League don't play it to get high rankings, scores, KDAs, accolades or whatever, they just want to have fun. Logically, if a person puts in more effort to accomplish something than someone else they have a right to expect a better reward for it.

If someone takes a kill you participated it, whether it's a killsteal or not boils down to a question of whether the satisfaction of the players or the overall progress of the team is more important.

Being someone who strongly believes in credit where credit is due I personally lean much more to the former than the latter in general. In ranked games, I won't complain if you take my kill when you're the carry (regardless of your contribution) but I also won't complain if you take a kill better meant for me so long as you were fighting alongside me. I will say something if I'm in a game and am about to finish someone off (with no chance of missing the kill) and you burn cooldowns at the last second to take it.
