Intentional Feeding
Wanted to make this post about a trend that I have experienced as of late. For my last 5 games or so I have had one of my teamates begin to intentionally feed. They justify their actions with the following:
-
They died in lane to the opposing team due to a gank, and feel that because I (being the jungler) did not gank as soon as the other jungler, that they should intentionally feed (to teach me to gank for them I guess?)
-
They said a statement about a strategy the team should employ (example, we should take drag, or mid should roam top). When others on the team disagree with them they use this (and yes this is a direct quote) "Don't talk back to me" "I am feeding idc"
-
They die once to their lane opponent and give up (not due to a gank, just straight up die).
I would like to ask the community if there is anything that I (being a jungler), or something we can do as a community to discourage this. Needless to say I do not understand the logic that these people are using but that is not the point. I would like to know how to stop this from happening simply so that I stop losing games because of intentional feeding.
Have a great day all!
