there's a fine line between intentionally feeding/trolling vs. having a bad game

i'm silver. Seriously, i've been stuck in this elo for 5 centuries. I don't complain though, I'm just not good enough and I'm easily tilted. But one thing I have ALWAYS seen in my elo, and maybe(?) in other elos. Someone(most likely me) goes 0/5 and they're intentionally feeding/trolling. OK, first off all, the definition of intentionally feeding: self-explanatory, someone feeds, intentionally. That means walking under turret, not trying to stay alive/kill the enemy, etc. But if someone(e.g. a vayne or a riven)spams their q and e to get away. Maybe vayne even ulted to go invis. Sometimes they can't get away and they try their hardest whittling the enemy down. And that's the issue here. If you, for example, flashed ult+tumbled used e and healed, but still died, as 0/4 vayne, you ARE being "intentionally feeding." But hey, firstly, you tried EVERYTHING to get away, you had the DESIRE to live and not die. How is that intentionally "feeding"? maybe you're against a yasuo who dashed EVERYWHERE to get to you and even flashed. That is NOT intentionally feeding. THere is simply no way to escape. THat's it, it was impossible to escape. then your team says "gg vayne intent feed plz report". Like WHAT THE FUCK???????????seriously????DUDE!!there is a fine line between intentionally feeding, and just not being able to escape. That's when we get to the trolling part. If I forgot to heal the support in a tight teamfight, and we lost because of that, i'm "trolling"? A internet troll is someone who INTENTIONALLY ruins someone's game. IF I forgot to heal you, that's NOT intentional, and that should NOT ruin your game, because everyone dies once in a while, and if u have perfect KDA, great! If I go 1/4 and kick the enemy away as lee sin, i'm "trolling". Hello? I forgot to estimate my damage. Sorry. CHill! That's all I have to say for now.

Don't worry. Reports do not lead directly to punishment. They lead to reviews. AFAIK, more than just your k/d/a is looked at to determine something like intentional feeding. Your item purchases(including order of purchase) and leveling order are all trackable.

Intentional feeding is harder to determine than other offenses, but if you aren't doing it then it is very likely you won't get in trouble despite other players over reactive reports.

Dont listen to them... YOU know you did NOTHING wrong, why would you listen to some crybaby and tilt you even more... Stop. Forge yourself a wall in your head and stop falling to this shit, maybe you'll climb then. Please, mute them, dont answer, and report them. Maybe someday youll get a nice message from riot saying someone has been punished from your report.

Yeah this is difficult to stay neutral in this kind of situations, it take some time.

Btw, even if they report you for feeding, riot review those game and if they see nothing wrong, nothing will happen... They are specialist, dont worry. However, if you previsouly said hate speach, flaming your team or you tried to fight back, you can get punish for that, not necessarily for intentionally feeding. That is why you MUST be neutral and dont fight back EVER, Stay calm, mute and report.

thx for the support both of you. But i have gotten an account banned before for intentionally feeding cuz i went tf with tear(i was sooooo noob), and went 9-20. This is why this bs has gotten into my head.

Again though it has more to do than just your KDA, 9-20 seems very fishy of someone who is in tilt, or just having a bad game. How long was the game, because if it was short then you could very well have been feeding. I mean if it was a game that was between 20-30mins that means you roughly gotten killed once every mintue!
