There is no Kill Stealing. Whenever there is a death on the opposing team it's a benefit for you and the mates you are paired with at the time. From a jungle perspective, even when you were to take all the kills in a lane,; on top of giving the lane you ganked assist gold and experience, they also get a free farm lane.

In a duo bot perspective, even when the support gets 5/0/2 that means your lane is winning. Often when your support gets all the kills this also means that you have more pressure and ability to zone. Often when you see a fed support, you also see a CS lead for the ADC that is in the same lane.

People that complain about "Not getting the kill" should stop playing. Should you gift the kill as jungle or support player? Most likely. Is it a disaster when it doesn't happen? No, since you still get the CS lead, which is more gold then the kill in the first place.
