That makes it impossible for nuke classes to take kills when their damage comes in bursts, usually the finishing blows. Just buff assist points. Play a different demigod if you want to see godlikes, otherwise be content you won.

As long as Oak's ability still just requires the last hit, I could care less.

So, I fight a DG 2 levels above me, blow all my cooldowns, pots, etc. I bring him down to a sliver of health, when a wave of our creeps comes along and attacks him and inflicts the killing blow on the final 10hp points. You're saying that "The forces of light" should get 1000 gold while I get 300?

It's a team game, get over it. As long as everyone on your team benefits from the kill you are in good shape.

lol this thread is RIDICULOUS

ninja... lol

you are supposed to be a TEAM doesnt matter who get the credit

in case just tell your team mate who get most kills to upgrade the citadel a bit

I sort of agree.

How about the gold for the assist is upped with the damage?  There are times when I will run the whole way across the map, dropping what I'm doing, to chase a kill someone else cannot get.  So not only do I help myself with the gold, but I help you with the assist, and I help the team by knocking another player out for 20-30 seconds.

Yep, that's what I'm saying.

20% of your kills are going to be ambiguous - you are fighting at your towers and there are 3 DGs and some grunts hitting one poor sap.  The other 80% are going to be out in the field and you should have more control over who gets the last hit.  Time your nukes so that you have one ready to deliver the killing blow.  Hell, I've seen players time their *auto-attacks* to get the killing blow.  

Let's look at this in terms of a Snipe Regulus.

If you do 95% of the damage on a DG and he runs away faster than you can follow and just before he makes it to his Crystal he gets sniped for the kill do you really think you deserve the gold?  You couldn't complete - Regulus could - you are assisting him.  

Ninjaing a clear kill, OTOH, is bad form but if they apologize and make sure not to do it again then no harm.  You can't complain about towers or grunts taking your kill though - a bit of micro will keep that from happening most of the time..

Actually yes, I really think I deserve the gold. Regulus didn't do 95% of the damage. He can snipe all day long and not get the kill. All he did is ensure that our team gets the kill and the benefit of an enemy DG sitting in the death limbo for a few seconds. In other words, it was Regulus that was assisting me and the team, not the other way around.

I was also specifically not talking about Regulus in my original post, as annoying as kill farmers/stealers in this game are. I simply don't PUG any more with Regulus playing people. But that's not my gripe. My gripe is the environment. Towers, creeps, AoE that was not even meant to kill my target. The target whom I had no trouble killing otherwise.

Okay, if in stubborn stupidity you tell regulus not to take the kill, then guess what happens: He gets away.

See, the game isn't about blowing every cool down you have right away like an ADD crack addict. All this does is drop your best cards and give them every reason to kill you, or run. It's a game of mathematics and mind-play. You lull your opponent into thinking he has an advantage, and you only chip away at his life enough where your cooldowns complete the kill.

Honestly, if one of your teammates is wasting mana and blowing cooldowns just trying to get last hits, then thats their fault, and they aren't contributing anything to the team. My recommendation would be to find better teammates, not change the mechanics of the game. You also however forget to neglect that sometimes, it's GOOD to allow a teammate to get all of the last hits. All of the gold funnels to him, and he can for example buy upgrades, while you use the assist gold to buy items. Theres a-lot of room for teamwork in the current system, and I can sympathize with having to deal with shitty pugs.

;_;

This is bad because it doesn't encourage people to chase.
Getting more for the last hit encourages people to chase someone down.

I have noticed though, sniping off 1/3rd of someones hp 5-10 seconds before they die, and yet not getting an assist. :[

This is the attitude because of which I refuse to play with Regulus on my team in PUGs.

And for the record, the reason why I started this post had nothing to do with Regulus.

ill address 2 things.

1. most damage equals primary kill credit: I like this ingeneral, but we dont know how doable this is.

2. if AI killed it, ought to funnel the gold in equal split to the Demigods of that team.
