A kill is the act of decreasing an enemy champion's health to zero while the enemy has no abilities to prevent death.

RewardsEdit

The last player to strike the target champion is awarded with the kill, and all contributors within the last 10 seconds are awarded with an assist. If the champion killed has a Golem, Lizard, Wraith, or Wolf Buff, the other champion gains all of these buffs. When a champion is killed, the player who scored the final hit receives gold and experience. To slow down the farm of killing and reduce the effectiveness of feeders, less gold is awarded when a champion has a lower level than the contributers. Additionally, if a champion dies many times in a row then fractions of the maximum gold are cut off. In some instances, the champion gold bounty has been lowered to 15 which is less than a minion. The bounty rises again when the champion earns gold by itself and scores kills. The maximum bounty is 600.

ExecutionEdit

If a champion dies and hasn't been damaged or debuffed by another champion in the last 10 seconds, it is an execution. Otherwise, the kill is awarded to the enemy champion who last dealt damage. Executions are generally caused by a turret, minion, or monster. An execution offers no gold but still gives experience to nearby champions on the opposite team.

In some cases it could be strategically advantageous for a player to purposefully be executed as an alternative to dying from an enemy champion; in doing so, the enemy receives no gold.

Multi-killEdit

The act of killing several champions within 8 seconds of each other. The following comments are shown: "Champion" has scored a [...]!'

• Double kill (2)
• Triple kill (3)
• Quadra kill (4)
• Penta kill (5)
• Legendary kill (6+)

There is no bonus associated with multi-kills.

AceEdit

An ace is defined as killing the last living champion of the enemy team. Scoring an ace is far easier than scoring a penta kill, since the only requisite is to kill the last enemy champion, not all of them. There is no gold bonus associated with aces.

Gold rewardEdit

The standard gain per kill is 300 gold. Every kill of one champion increases the reward gained per killing it by 10%, up to a maximum of 600 gold. Each death of one champion reduces the rewards gained per killing it by 9% for the first death and 21% for every death afterwards, to a minimum of 15 gold. If the champion breaks its death streak by getting a kill, its value is reset to 300 gold. On the other hand, every kill that is done without death (called a killing spree) increases the bounty to a maximum of 600 gold. The gold bounty is not reset when the champion is executed without any enemy champion contributing to it. Being on a killing spree only affects the gold gained upon your death. First Blood (the first kill of the match) gives an additional 100 gold (400 total) beyond the basic amount for the kill.
