I wish the assist system was better sometimes. Or rather, I wish there was a system that decides whether one champion is still technically in battle with another one, and as long as the battle continues and one champion dies, anyone resulting in helping to cause that champion's death will get an assist.

For example. I'm in mid and I have a jungler. The mid from the other team harasses me a lot, and eventually tower dives me and kills me. But before they kill me I do as much damage as possible. While he is tower diving me, though, my jungler is doing his/her best to get to me, to help defeat the tower diver. Though they don't make it to me and save me before I die, they do make it to the enemy champion as I'm dying, and slay him with the 100 hp that he had left after I burst him before I died, 10 seconds after I died, thereby granting me no assist, even with most of the damage/work done by myself.
