User blog comment:Fbhuvjhvbnvfdkv hfd/KS - Kill steal or Kill secured?/@comment-5266525-20140514032718/@comment-24606304-20140514121416

I personally agree more with the kill-secured side of things (avid player of ap supports), but I completely agree with Shaw's point here- we've probably all had that situation before. For example (I will use this because i play a lot of mid), it seems to happen when your jungler ganks for you and you do damages and end it with an ignite, I cannot even gount the nuber of times the jungler insists on trying to aa for the kill, even though the ignite would obviously get it. I even had this yi that flashed just to get the last autoattack, and I even told him (friend in real life) that ignite had the kill.

So Shaw makes a good point, there are always those situations when kill steal is a thing, and it's not like everything is always kill secured, because with certain thingsw like ignite, or dot's or even well-aimed skillshots, the kill IS secured, and now other people are just unnecessarily securing it for themselves, which imo, is much more selfish than not wanting someone to kill steal you.

I'm not saying that kill secured doesn't exist- I'm actually a big fan of it, especially when it comes to bot lane, where any kill (even by a support) can go miles for an adc (assist gold, exp advantage, free farm time, tankier/more damagey support behind me). I'm just saying that yes, there are some cases where kill steals are a real thing.
