I'm so tired of hearing every game "X person fed" "GG bot fed" "Mid noob and fed"
Let's get something straight community. Feeding/fed/feed is dying INTENTIONALLY not any time. Dying in lane while trying to just dying. But FEEDING is INTENTIONALLY.
MattZeeX4 votesActually feeding is just dying a lot to a single person or more, this is because you are getting them fed by dying to them. In my opinion, if you feed, it's not necessarily your fault, I won't blame you for the loss. Intentionally feeding is the bad one.
CarbonWyre2 votesOh so that's what the raging support means when they say "NOOB TOP FED GG", what you're saying they meant to say is "Hey, I'm sorry you had a really bad game and no one came to help, maybe it'll get better in the late game, it's not really your fault after the second one, there wasn't much you can do. Sorry again for ignoring your plea for help."
Because I'm pretty sure connotation take priority over denotation.
PS. I love the word "Actually", makes you start sounding right. If we remove the word it just sounds like might actually care.
Lady Luck5 votesI think you're assuming that the word "feed" can only be used in a rage filled way.
The first time I heard anybody say the word "feeding" was a mid laner saying something around the lines of "Top, can we switch? I'm so far behind I'm just feeding him now."
I've said something around the lines of... "Hug the tower, otherwise you'll just feed" and "Sorry for feeding, I'm doing terrible."
Saying "stop dying" is just as helpful as "stop feeding" and just as vague. Nobody said it was intentional dying or intentional feeding (which makes the comment just plain antagonizing.) That's an issue with the person saying it and not knowing how to communicate in a helpful manner.
Calling anybody out for dying repeatedly - whether or not the word feed is used - is a negative thing to do. For example saying "Our ADC is 1-10-2." is a statement of fact. They could have also said "Our ADC is feeding." or "Our ADC keeps dying without killing anybody." All are facts. But none should be said in game because simply pointing out flaws decreases moral of a team.
The word feed in and of itself is not bad. And I don't think people assume that you're doing so intentionally. They just don't know how to communicate in an effective manner.
MattZeeX1 votesJust because people don't know the definition of a word doesn't mean they're right. Feeding is dying multiple times to the same person. Just cause you feed doesn't mean you're a bad person, it just means the person you're playing against is better than you or your counter.
Vecuu3 votesWhile I understand your frustration, it's less about how many deaths a person has, and more about the number of kills/gold that player's opposite acquires quickly.
If a single player dies 5 times in the laning phase, it doesn't matter whether it was intentional or not, what matters is that his lane opponent is now 5-0 and can wreck your team.
The enemy player is fed. Your teammate fed. That's how it is.
What you're describing has nothing to do with confusion about definitions, though. You're just playing with jerks.
MXXIV2 votesThis should become one of the "Did you know..." tips
CarbonWyre1 votesI feel like the "Did you know..." tips should be as direct as this.
Amissars1 votesWell, a person is fed after getting a lot of kills. Matt is right, too. But I understand the frustration. I hate when when people say "Report X for feeding" when they didn't mean to die intentionally.
Dragonheart NA1 votesI hate too when I hear the "Report X for feeding". It drives me up the wall. In my opinion feeding is not always intentional. Champions get fed through CS, killing other champions, monsters, towers, etc.
Only 'intentional' feeding should be reported, not because someone is having a bad day or is outplayed. Being outplayed is part of the game and learning from that helps one get better. Constructive advise works a lot better then raging. I have seen many games where one lane kept feeding, but late game they caught up and helped secure a victory. One game for example I feed 4 times as Mundo to an Olaf, finally we got a couple ganks on him and I was able to catch up on CS. Its all about working as a team and figuring out how to turn a losing situation around. When I am on teams where people rage that rarely happens, when I am on a team that works together, well, I have to say I have seen some remarkable turnarounds scaling into the late game.
