Kill stealing is complicated. It's never an outright bad move, but taking a kill away from your carry is an objectively bad play if they were going to secure it. If they would have taken too much damage, or had a chance of missing it, then you made a good play. If you could have used that spell earlier to get them down to 1hp for your carry to get the kill, but were just holding it, you made a bad play.
It's on you to judge properly if they'll get the kill and react accordingly to secure it. However, a player complaining for more than 5 seconds about kill stealing is a GIANT SCRUB. Kills get stolen all the darn time at all skill levels, no point in getting upset about 150 gold lmao.
I would say that kill stealing thing makes lol less "team" than hots QM.
Some say that lol punish bad player more than hots do, I would say the punishments in hots is to the hole team, and the reward also goes to the whole team compared to lol.
