How can you ban someone for playing badly?
Although this isn't about me, but I'm talking about this so called "intentional feeding" ban. I can see if you're playing someone for the umpteenth time and you're normally good at that champion. But what about those times where someone is trying out an new champion and ranked, dies too often, and gets banned for it?
Flawed system is flawed on account that you can't expect perfection from everyone.
Don't try out a new champion in ranked - that's what other game modes are for (Custom/AI/Normals).
Problem solved.

You can't ban people for being bad. Only way to ban in terms of gameplay is if they feed intentionally.
Nope, even if you are playing someone new in ranked, it doesn't count as intentionally feeding.
Riot has taken this into account. To my knowledge, the intentional feeder system isn't incredibly harsh right now, so that it won't punish any innocent players.
Also, one bad game typically isn't enough for you to be punished for intentional feeding.
Considering how much post-game data is available just for us to review, I'm assuming that there is much more intricate data available to RIOT to review just on a technical level for bugs and game performance.
That being said, I'm pretty sure they review a combination of metrics and behaviors and only act on some of the most egregious intentional feeding.
I mean there was a guy on the boards tonight complaining that he got banned for feeding when he just had a bad game or tried a new champ (don't remember his exact reason I've seen so many) but regular members were able to go into the guy's match history and show that it was pretty evident the guy was trolling based on his champion selected, summoner spells used, where he died most, and his gold relative to an afk champ. That also doesn't include any chat logs where he may have indicated he was going to feed.
