Intentional Feeders

I hate how you'll get a legit feeder (Someone who will purposely feed their lane then proceed to feed other lanes) and no punishment is actually given to them. Like wtf is the point of reporting them for it. I just played 2 ranked games and lost both of them because someone pissed off my mid lane in champ select and they threw the game. I should get my lp back for that bullshit. But riot doesnt do a damn thing to keep these guys under control. I hate league sometimes because of this.

Just because Riot doesnt send personal agent to your house to comfort u and tell you how INT feeder got punished, that doesnt mean they dont punish them

Here's a little something that WookieeCookie mentioned in his Between Two Turrets discussion:

{quoted}

There are a lot of specifics that we just can't share when it comes to detecting feeders in game. If we did, we run the risk of some players trying to "reverse engineer" the system and find ways around it. But if I had to explain it in more general terms:

Imagine every game of League of Legends that has ever been played. Millions of matches completed since we launched. We have data on all of those games. This data contains all sorts of cool things but the part that is relevant to your question is we have a lot of data about playstyles.

So over millions of games we can identify people who were feeding intentionally vs. people who were just playing poorly. The PB Devs run analysis on that data to look for the consistent patterns that bind trolls together. This helps fuel our detection of intentional feeding.

There is an Intentional Feeder system in place to detect and subsequently punish intentional feeders; and it's consistently being improved and tweaked to be more accurate and proactive. I understand that it sucks to play with intentional feeders; however, Riot has to develop a system that punishes players based on their intentions while avoiding punishing players who are simply performing poorly. It's a tall task, but it's still a work in progress.

Here is my idea, bare with me boys.

Just like they added the /remake option after a disconnect or I think AFK as well.

If during the game a certain champion dies over 5 times (could be less) in a 10-15 minute period, Riot should give you the chance to remake as well or give you some compensation to this feeder who won't get banned or anything done till enough reports.

This would probably help more people in ranked games than normals, so this would be a Ranked Only add-on. Many players just love to feed, some just get salty and start to suicide, and there is trolls in any game type.

They do punish intentional feeders! You might not get the message that your report got the player punished, but rest assured, if that player gets more valid reports, he or she will be punished.
