I don't really care about KS. In fact, I sometimes embrace it and support it. However, sometimes ksing is bad and might hurt you in game. Let's see these 2 examples.

-You are jungling with nautilus, and went to gank mid. Your fizz is 6/0/0 and is low HP since he was ganked and failed the ulti. Their laner is pushing, and, after a spectacular play, fizz takes away most of his hp without retaliation. You arrive mid, and see that their enemy no has an advantage, since he still has skills. You hook him, making him unable to hit Fizz, and he flashes away. Fizz has the chance to kill him, easily, but instead you toss the ulti to intentionali get the kill, because you are being counter jungled. Did you act wrong? If you were that Fizz, what would u do?

-You are a mid laner who had it rough. You were ganked level 3 and forced to waste flash, and since you know their jungler is camping, you cant do anything. Their laner is freezing the wave, so that you cant farm. After a while, after their jungler leaves, and since their mid, only 1 level above you, has barely no mana, you decide to kill him. You have 1 death and half the SC of the enemy. The enemy went bot, and secured a double kill, making him 3/0/0. So you kinda need that kill to recover. SO you iniciate, burst, dodge and are finally able to kill him. Its 100% secure and he has no way to escape you. And then your jungler, let's say, Yi, who is 6/0/0, wanting the kill, activates ulti to get there fast enough, and use Q to kill him. What would you do?

I presented 2 possible situations where the term KS is truly applyable. the first, you were behind, and so the KS was needed. You were able to get enough gold to recover a bit, and that made you able to help lanes more. In second, yu fell behind, and then since your jungler had most kills, he was focused on, killed and you end up losing.

I think KS is not a thing to rage at, especially in a 5 vs 5 or 3 vs 3. But think what it will do to the team.
