Feeding VS Doing Nothing.

Okay, so, let's say you have someone feeding on your team, doesn't matter what their feeding let's just say they have an awful score. But on the bright side they still come to teamfight's, help get objectives, keep up in CS and overall are trying to win. But on the same team you have someone with a good score, great CS, didn't feed lane at all but they won't follow up on ganks, they won't go for objectives, they're never in a team fight and they constantly refuse to help the team win.

Which is worse? In my opinion, it's the second one, i'd rather have to fight a 5v5 with a fed enemy than to have to fight 4v5 all game with no one fed.

PS: This is made much, much worse when it's your ADC doing either of these.

From my experience, whenever there's a feeder on my team he would always refuse to group and get objectives and would prefer staying in his lane or roaming alone in the river/jungle and proceed to feed more kills from 0/3 to 0/12. I'd rather have an AFK and 4v5 cause a feeder is like a 4v5 but instead he's giving the enemy free gold, assisting them which is turns it into a 4v6.

Thankfully though, "someone with a good score, great CS, didn't feed lane at all" ---> I've never had any person like this on my team who "won't follow up on ganks, they won't go for objectives, they're never in a team fight and they constantly refuse to help the team win". Even if they do, they'e the type of players who think kills are everything and kda is what's important. They refuse to group for objectives and would rather go in solo and get a kill or two, regardless of 1v5. And honestly I'd rather have someone like that than a feeder, since even though he goes in 1v5 and dies he manages to get a kill or two, and that could really help the team win a 3v4 teamfight with us having the advantage.

Feeder can be focused, use cc and disrupt a team which is still useful in fights. Even if they don't do much they're still doing something.

Someone that doesn't exist, lets say an AFK team mate, is more of a detriment simply because they're not there. The fights will forever be uneven, a feeder eventually becomes worthless (in terms of gold anyway) but can still bring something to the table. An AFK team mate is much more detrimental that someone who's still trying even if they're not doing much.

Feeders give me bounties.

Cowardice is a rampant problem though. Lots of players who won't fight unless their teammates set up guaranteed wins, protecting their kda and wanting to be carried. Games about controlling the resources on the map.
