If someone else is assisting or has already assisted, then don't KS, but if it's a 1v1 then I WANT someone to kill steal (or at least get a hit) me so the team overall gets more gold. Do everything in your power to make sure you get that assist if no one else is going to get an assist on the kill. If you KS, whatever. The other person still gets 60% of the gold for a kill.
So to recap, DO EVERYTHING IN YOUR POWER TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU AT THE LEAST GET AN ASSIST ON A KILL IF NO ONE ELSE IS! If you don't you are wasting gold for your team.
Also, if someone does this and KS's you, read the above, it's better overall for the team.
I definitely agree with you that supports should strive for assists. Nothing is more awesome than heals from somebody who was able to buy a Rabadon's. My golden rule as support is such: if you do not assist in at least half of your team kills, you have failed in your role.
That being said, it is so much better for a support to find ways to buff their teammate during a 1 v 1 than for them to run over and autoattack the low health champ if the carry will clearly be able to nab the kill, especially since support can usually thrive with just basic items. Even if you're healing a full health teammate just for the assist. Use the chance to practice landing Lux's W while running or finding the perfect timing for Soraka's silence.
Also, if the enemy champ will make it away barely alive, sure as shit cut them off and kill them. Then type in all chat "LOL SONA AUTOATTACK OP."
Of course, I'm purely speaking from the support standpoint. Everybody else can KS if they want.
