Rewards 
Edit
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 any transferable buffs (
Crest of the Ancient Golem or 
Blessing of the Lizard Elder),
the killer 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 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 contributors. 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 500. However, sometimes it's not
worth getting the kill if that makes you chase the enemy when you could
have achieved a more important objective (as destroying a turret or
capturing a capture point) or if it's a risky chase that may end up with you dead.
Execution Edit
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-kill Edit
The act of killing several champions within 10 seconds of each other.
The following comments are shown: "Summoner" has slain "(slain name)
Summoner" for a [...]!'
Double Kill (2)
Triple Kill (3)
Quadra Kill (4)
Penta Kill (5)
Legendary Kill (6+)
There is no bonus associated with multi-kills.
Ace Edit
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 reward Edit
The standard gain per kill is 300 gold. Every kill by a champion
increases its value (the reward gained for killing that champion) by
20%, up to a maximum of 500 gold. Each death of a champion reduces its
value, by 13% for the first death and 30% for every death afterwards, to
a minimum of 15 gold. Assists remove one stage of the death penalty
each (if a champion was on his third death (182 gold), an assist would
raise the value to that of two deaths (260 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.
Bounty values Edit
First Blood: 400 gold 1st kill: 300 gold 1st death: 300 gold 2nd kill: 360 gold 2nd death: 261 gold 3rd kill: 432 gold (Killing spree) 3rd death: 183 gold 4th kill: 500 gold (Rampage -> Legendary) 4th death: 128 gold - 5th death: 90 gold - 6th death: 63 gold - 7th death: 44 gold - 8th death: 31 gold - 9th death: 21 gold - 10th death: 15 gold - Note that gold values will continue to drop past the 4th death, eventually stopping at 15 gold. Also, with lower killing spree bounty cap and increased bounty gain, there is no additional gold for a shut down beyond the 4th kill.
