You can KS. It's definitely a thing. There have been plenty of times where I've had a kill 100% secured and someone else swoops in get the actual last hit. I can't count the number of times I yelled at Teemer for killing with Tantrum, for example.

There are a lot of cases where I don't mind. Like a Noct comes to gank and he gets the kill instead of Caitlyn. That doesn't bother me one bit. When Taric gets the kill with Shatter, though, for First Blood when the killing bullet was actually in mid-air... that's annoying.

Kill Securing implies that the kill was not actually secured before your intervention. I ask people on a regular basis "you got that?" while they're fighting. If they say they do, I try to get in for an assist and then move on to something else. If they say no or that they're not sure or something like that, then I step in to help secure.

This is me. Another good example is that Jax that stands next to the fight and basically watches the fight happen but refuses to assist until the other guy is about to die, then uses a single Leap Strike to get the actual kill, then runs back out. Yeah, he "got his assist" and more gold was spread, but this dick isn't actually using the gold to contribute back to the team so much as padding his scoreboard. You can almost count on not seeing this guy ever until the moment of "securing the kill" every team fight, peacing out immediately after until he can get that last hit once more.

Katarina can sometimes be a good example of this with Shunpo, but a lot of people mistake a cat stealing with Shunpo for a Kat that ults half their team down while they were tunnel visioned on that one character that made them rage.
