Those people jumping on low health target may as well do it with the intention to secure a kill (getting the kill is a bonus). To steal the kill is not the only intention to pick from here. That being said, I'm sure there are plenty of people who only do it for the kill. Still, the most important thing is to actually kill the target, so, imo, it doesn't really matter. You'd still get your assist reward (unless you play Secure or Slaughter. SE! pls add assists in Secure and Slaughter).

One way KS can effect your team negatively is preventing others from getting battlehigh/fever. In that regard, kill assist could give highs/fevers as well. SE would need to adjust the requirements in that case.
