Bad Game Or Inting?

Only Fenrir·Aug 6, 2017·2 votes·582 views

Rio you have to decide, Is feeding allowed and a reportable offence. I'm not talking about the 0/3 or the 0/9s im talking about someone who plays the game dies to their laner level 1 runs back dies again and again and again, im talking about the players who make the same mistake mopre than 10 times in the same game and feed like crazy people who go 0/15 but say " im just having a bad game". id rather have a semi average flammer in my game then a huge feeder, i can mute the player but u cant do a single thing about the feeder besides watch him/her throw the entire game. these are the real trolls. so my question is where do we draw the line between inting and feeding. bc if inting is only running down a lane non stop from now on these tolls r just gonna average one death every 2 mins and blame lag or bad game and get away with it u need to fix this.

Intentional feeding is not allowed. Having a bad game is.

The difference is the word "intentional." If you are intentionally throwing the game by poor play, that's punishable. Players are, however, allowed to have lag, to be learning a champion, or -- yes -- to just be bad. The conscious effort to ruin a game is the deciding factor, not the outcome of their performance.

That will almost certainly not be changing.

Seems pointless to even have the report option then. If it's all about intent, all they have to say is what the OP said...."Bad game". Doesn't matter if they are lying, you can't prove it.

I believe the system can detect item purchases, death locations, death times, etc. It CAN identify intentional feeding, but it's not necessarily able to do so with 100% certainty. What matters is what the system detects, not what the player says in chat.

It can detect mouse clicks too. If you click your mouse under their tower and then do not click again and say "lag" the system should be able to determine that if you were lagging you'd be quickly spam clicking away from the tower, not just sending one command to go under the tower and die over and over.

the problem is riot is super serious about someone flamming but to be honest 10 times out of 10 ill take a rager who called me names heck i odnt veen care if he calls me the n word over and over again, ill def take that over someone who feeds constantly bc ik the flammer will get banned or a restriction the feeder will just walk off and lossing mmr and IP DOES NOT MATTER TO THEM AS THEY ARE TROLLS WHO ARE COSTING OTHERS TO LOSE LP. my point is they need to do something about this bc this isnt right at all these people r the real trolls*[zombie-brand-facepalm]*

There is nothing to decide, or rather its already decided. Playing bad is not against rules. Playing bad consistently carries different penalties, loss of LP, loss of MMR, demotions...
