I don't mind kill steals unless it's painfully obvious that I'm going to win, and even then only if you do it constantly and intentionally. We both get gold so it's really a good thing.

Thats one of the funniest pics I have seen in awhile. 

i dont kill well i try not to but if i really need gold  for a item i will try to get the kill but that is hardly the case

Lemmin has it exactly right.

The only time I could see this being a problem, is if your teammate is going out of their way to steal your kills, instead of just trying to kill said demigod at all costs. 

Three words:  Pierson v. Post

I dont mind KS against enemy demigods. A sure kill is always best.

Too often ive had to run away from an enemy demigod (or even died) when a teammate is right next to me farming creep and could have turned the tables.

The concept of kill stealing has never crossed my mind in a game like Demigod. All involved get gold regardless, albeit not as much as the DG giving the killing blow. Not to mention the fact that a dead demigod just sits passively in the nether, not even keeping up with the bookkeeping.

I say, I invite you to steal my kill any day. We can debate whether it was the right course of action after winning the match.

Dead is dead, but it is preferable for some heroes to land the death blow if possible.  For example, oak landing the death blow is of great benefit to everyone in the area.  Regulus getting a little extra gold for finishing the guy off is good for the team too (a pumped regulus is can be quite strong.)

I love you!

how can there be kill stealing when its a team game?

You get plenty of gold for an assist, so the "steal" doesn't hurt you that much.

Additionally if they aren't in range of the demigod they killstole then you get the full exp too, and can loot the potion/scroll.

Not a big deal.

My apologies first, as I'm about to make another Dota comparison, if only to hilight gameplay mechanics.

I think kill stealing is a little harder to stomach in Dota than it is in Demigod because of the difference in the economy mechanics in both games.

In Dota, the gold streams in at a much slower rate than in Demigod and there's no way to "upgrade" this. It's hard work farming creeps for gold with all the last hitting mechanics/jungling, so killing other heroes becomes a much more valuable source of income. This is compounded by the fact that you lose gold when your hero gets killed and even further by the dependency on items.

In Demigod, gold comes much more easily. You lose no gold when your Demigod dies (except for the loss of the stream in while you're still dead), there's no need for last hitting and you can capture gold mines or upgrade your Citadel for a greater income stream. Killing Demigods for gold becomes less vital, thus making kill stealing much more bearable. Also, there's a way to spend the gold in Demigod to explicitly benefit the entire team that's absent in Dota, so you know that a rich player on your team is still good for the team.

Demigod is also more forgiving in the items department. You don't have to totally stack your Demigod out in powerful items to contribute significantly to the team during late game. This further draws the emphasis away from needing to build personal wealth.

All in all, I've found all these elements to be more team-friendly and more enjoyable.  

It is true that I will never hold back when I'm chasing down an enemy demigod, nor expect someone to hold back in fear of stealing a kill from me, but there is a little more to this. Not all demigods are created equal, and some are much better than others at closing the deal.

I wish there would be a fairer way to distribute the gold reward other than assists get half. Maybe 60/40 would help. Or simply sharing the reward equally between participants. With a certain small damage threshold you have to be over to get included in the kill. To avoid someone just poking him once from range, or with a minion or whatever, and still get credit. I feel this should be in the current system as well.
