Murder

A kill occurs when the health of an enemy champion drops to 0 as long as they have no abilities or items that prevent death. The death of a champion can be avoided by the effects of an object such as the Guardian Angel, by the protection of friendly abilities such as Time travel of Zilean, or also delayed by passive abilities like Rebirth of Anivia, Cell Division of Zac y Blood Well of Aatrox.

Rewards

The last player to hit the target champion is awarded the kill, and all contributors in the last 10 seconds are awarded an assist. If the slain champion has any transferable buff ( Emblem of Insight or   Ashes Emblem), the "assassin" champion gains all of these buffs and the duration of each buff is reset. When a champion is killed, the player who scored the final hit receives gold (50-500g) (in Howling Abyss the maximum gold for a kill exceeds 500g) and experience. To reduce the effectiveness of feeders and "snowballed" lines or lanes, less gold is awarded when a champion is lower level than the assassins. Additionally, a champion with many consecutive kills will award a sizable reduced reward, hitting a floor of 50 gold, almost the gold value of a minion. The bounty will reset to 300 if that champion kills an enemy champion, or gradually resets with more assists or farming (reference notes on reward values, details below). In the game, assassinations can be sacrificed in favor of achieving an objective on the map, or due to other situational circumstances, such as the champion's low health retreating from high-risk enemy territory.

Execution

If a champion dies without taking damage or a debuff from an enemy champion in the last 8 seconds, then he is executed. Otherwise, murder is taken by the last enemy who hurt him. Executions are caused by turrets, minions, or jungle monsters. Executions do not award gold but do grant experience to nearby enemy champions.

In some cases it may be advantageous for a player to be intentionally executed as an alternative to being killed by an enemy champion and receiving the gold from the kill. Doing this in the ARAM allows you to visit the store without awarding kills for the enemy team.

Executions do not cut the kill streak, however they do result in the loss of stacks of Mejai's Soul Stealer and Sword of the Unseen items.

Multiple murder

The act of killing multiple champions within 10 seconds each (30 seconds for the PentaKill after a QuadraKill if there are no respawns and enemies). The following comments are displayed: "Summoner" has died "(name killed) Summoner" for a [...] '!

• Double Kill (2)
• Triple Kill (3)
• Quadra Kill (4)
• Penta Kill (5)
• Legendary Kill (6+)[1] Note: in a fair match it is highly unlikely that a player will witness a legendary kill. This is due to many factors including death timers, choice of summoner spells, and cooperation of both teams. To put this into perspective, the odds of witnessing a pentakill is 1 in every 150+ games, as per the infographic.

Extermination

An extermination is defined as: killing the last living champion of the enemy team. Doing an extermination is far easier than marking a pentakill, the only requirement is to give a last hit to the last enemy champion, not all of them. There is no extra gold ratio for marking an extermination.

Gold rewards

La ganancia estándar por marcar un asesinato son 300 de oro. Cada asesinato (en una ronda) por un campeón incrementa su valor (La recompenza ganada por matár a ese campeón que lleva muchas muertes acumuladas sin morir) en un 20% hasta un máximo de 500 de oro. Each death (in a row) of a champion reduces its value, by 8.5% for the first death and 20% for every death afterwards, to a minimum of 50 gold. The bounty will reset to 300 if said champion kills an enemy champion, or resets more gradually with assists. Assists remove one stage of the death penalty each (if a champion was on his third death (220 gold), an assist would raise the value to that of two deaths (275 gold)). Every kill a champion achieves without dying (called a killing spree) increases that champion's bounty to a maximum of 500 gold as stated before. 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.
