How strict is intentional feeding?

Like say for example when Shaclone intentionally fed by diving under a tower and doing nothing and basically giving the enemy team a kill of course it was deserved and he knew what he was getting into. But like say for example when I was level 3 I would walk into towers and be like "why am I dying!?" So in a hypothetical example my current self (Gold V or Bronze 1 according to Flex) and my younger level 3 self playing with me in a normal game. So then my younger self walks into tower like 5 times and there's like level 30s that report my younger self would my younger self be banned because he intentionally fed even though he didn't know any better?

The automated system is kept on a very short leash as far as intentional feeding goes for just that reason. They don't want to accidently ban noobs, or people who were tanking tower for their team, or people who lagged out at just the wrong time.

You've pretty much got to be running down mid with 6 tears and not damaging anything before Riot gives it the go-ahead to punish you, and even then it might take several games.

Shaclone did it once did he not? It just seemed like it happened so fast to him.

Some metrics are quicker than others.

Shaclone is also a Master/Challenger player, so the standard of play is much higher for him than a level 3 account.

The system is able to identify patterns of play between your normal play and intentional feeding gameplay patterns.

If you are feeding normally (cos you are bad), they system can tell that's a regular pattern.

It's how their system detects intentional feeding. It looks at patterns or sequences of games that have reports (a flag for review on a game) and compares the reported player to whatever the definition of intentional feeding is to riot. It also looks at builds and I believe in some cases pings a rioter to review the game.
